A Good Coin Vanish
(and easy too)
I better not tell you this is good. Suppose you try it for yourself.... the misdirection is perfect.... your own coin or a borrowed coin, is placed under a handkerchief and completely vanishes.... both hands being shown absolutely empty, and of course the handkerchief is ordinary, being borrowed, also, if you desire.
Have the coin, preferable a quarter or half dollar, in left hand being held between finger tips.... next place the handkerchief over the left hand (and coin, too, of course) and as the right hand goes underneath, the coin is clipped away from the left fingers between the tips of the third and second fingers of the right hand.... this is done in an instant while apparently straightening out the handkerchief from underneath.
The right hand now is drawn under the handkerchief and against it too.... toward the corner that is nearest your body and the both hands must be in such a position that when this right hand is drawn outward under the handkerchief that when the RIGHT FINGERS GRASP THE CORNER OF THE HANDKERCHIEF THE RIGHT THIRD AND SECOND FINGERS SHOULD BE DIRECTLY OVER THE BREAST POCKET, where the coin is dropped, and then the hand moves away easily, a little distance from the pocket....
While this is going on, naturally the left fingers under the handkerchief, pretend to hold the coin.... and as you are just about to drop the coin in pocket, or better still JUST ABOUT AS YOUR HAND IS ABOUT TO APPROACH THE BREAST POCKET.... you misdirect by saying, "I'm going to let you SEE THE COIN." Then all eyes are directed at once to the center of the handkerchief and the dirty work can proceed in the next instant....
You would like this, if you saw it DONE....
