EFFECT: Magician places a half-dollar on the table and covers it with a
dollar bill see Fig.1, he smoothes it out by moving his hands from the center
out to the edges see Fig.3. With a pointing gesture with his right hand states
that the coin will disappear from under the bill with a snap of his fingers, once done tells the spectator to lift the bill, to his surprise it is gone. Takes
the bill from the spectator, folds it into thirds like a tube and states that he
did not examine it to well, tips it edge towards the table and the coin falls
out from within.
METHORD: There are many ways of doing the effect as above, but this
new improved idea has the gimmick concealed in the hand which lets you
handle object more freely. It is part rubber and plastic with a small magnet
built in and with enough surface area to hold a shim half-dollar, and not be
dislodged until you do so. The main secret is the rubber sleeve, the moisture
from your finger give it it's gripping powers, see Fig. 2.
