Now for the first time through the eyes of animation you are able to see the art of close-up magic designed and created by Fred C. Baumann as never done before.

EFFECT: Magician lays four subway coins on the table and arranges them in a square, then takes a one dollar bill in each hand and states since these coins are new to magic I'm going to introduce them to magical properties. He covers a coin and rubs the bills together in a circular motion over it; he repeats this action for each coin, Most magician like to do tricks fast, but I will do it in slow motion. He covers the upper left coin with both bills, the upper bill is moved to the upper right coin and covered, snap his fingers and draws the bills towards himself to reveal there are now two coins under the right bill. He picks up the bills and now covers the lower left coin and moves the upper bill back to cover the two coins, once again snaps his fingers and draws the bills toward himself to reveal there are now three coins under the right bill. He repeats the move for the last coin (the lower right); there are now four coins in the upper right position.

Effect: This effect is simple and direct the magician places a quarter on the table and covers it with a dollar bill in his right hand and with another in his left hand rubs the one on the table, lifts them both to show nothing has happened. Recovers the coin with them, rubs and lifts there is now two quarters, this is repeated until there are now four quarters. A special feature of the effect is the penetration of a quarter to appear on top of the bill and a startling rubbing vanish.
