Take care. Working with these objects and effects is inherently dangerous; anyone who attempts them does so at their own risk. Anybody under 18 is advised to undertake them only with a parent's permission and supervision.
Effect
The performer shows a half dollar and apparently places it in his left hand, but the spectators see him remove it and carry it to his pocket. They waste no time in telling him where the coin is, but when he opens his hand the coin is still there. The same moves are repeated. This time the coin actually vanishes.
No better effect than this could be used to close a routine of coin tricks. It is a dandy for the wiseacre and perfect for the kids.
How it is done
The method, 3 drawings and all it needs, inside the library.
