Effect:
The phrase "cough it up" takes on a whole new
meaning with this coin trick!
Supplies You Need:
1- A Coin
Setup:
You should practice a few times before you perform. No other
set-up is needed.
How to Perform:
Bend over and show the audience the top of your head. Tell
them, "You know the saying, 'You need that like you
need another hole in your head?' Well, sometimes having
an extra hole in your head comes in handy-- and I do!"
As you tell them this, you will be performing a quick and
easy vanish with the coin.
Hold out your hands, palms up. Rest the coin on the tip
of the second and third fingers of the right hand.

Holding the coin in place with your right
thumb, turn your hand so your palm faces down, then raise
it above and to the right of your left hand.
Put the coin in the center of your left palm. As you take
away your right hand, (the coin is
still held between the thumb and fingers of your right hand)
hold the fingers together. Then close the fingers on your
left hand, as if you were closing them over the coin.
When you pull away your right hand, the fingers of your
left hand, as they close, should lightly sweep against the
back of the right fingers. Move your right hand away a few
inches from the left. Then cup the second, third, and fourth
fingers, leaving the index finger extended.
Tap your left wrist with the right index finger, and let
your right hand drop to your side (the
left hand is still cupped). To your audience it should
look like your left hand is now securely holding the coin.

Bring your left hand above your head and
lightly slap the top of your head. At the same time, bring
your right hand to your mouth and cough loudly.
Bring your left hand down from your head and let the audience
see the coin drop from your right hand into your left. "My
doctor hates it when I do this," you can say. "But
what else is an extra hole in the head good for?" |
