Cuffing
a coin
Effect:
The
magician
shows a coin to the audience. You place and hold the coin with your
right forefinger a few centimeters above your right knee. Then you
cover up the coin with a piece of your trousers cloth. The spectator
can feel with his hand that the piece is under the cloth. And after
dropping the cloth, the coin immediately disappears.
Equipment:
|
You
need a costume, a rubber band, a coin with a little hole and a
safety-pin.

Preparation:
Pass the rubber band through the coin’s hole,
the rubber band makes two loops at each side of the coin (Photo 2),
pass one loop in the other one and pull the loop which you have
passed inside the other until you get a knot, connect the safety pin
to the rubber band (Photo 3).

If
you take the coin in your right hand and position the rubber band
tight, in such a way that if you just drop the coin it goes directly
inside your cuff (Photo 5).

With a piece of your
trouser’s cloth, cover up the coin, ask someone to touch the coin
through the cloth, so he can tell the coin is here.

And
after she stops touching the coin you drop the coin, it will fall
automatically in your cuff and will disappear.
Tell your
audience, “Nowadays money disappears so quickly, doesn’t it?”
Indeed
the coin has disappeared.
