]]> 43591 1 30 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/24642/30.jpg Cover the shaker Take a napkin and cover the salt or pepper shaker so that the napkin is standing in an inverted “V.”

]]> 43592 2 37 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/24642/37.jpg Lift the shaker Lift the napkin-covered shaker and smack it onto the coin once or twice, as if this will make it vanish.

]]> 43593 3 44 Tip Keep up a steady stream of chatter about the coin. It’s vital that your audience is expecting a coin trick and not paying attention to the shaker.

]]> 43594 4 51 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/24642/51.jpg Move shaker As you pull the shaker off the coin, move it to the edge of the table nearest you.

]]> 43595 5 57 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/24642/57.jpg Let shaker slip While you’re still babbling about making the coin go through the table, loosen your grip on the napkin, allowing the shaker to fall into your lap. Keep holding the napkin as if it is still there.

]]> 43596 6 68 Tip The napkin must be thick enough to retain the form of the shaker after you let it fall into your lap.

]]> 43597 7 74 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/24642/74.jpg Slam it Quickly slam the supposed “shaker” down hard on the coin with both hands. The napkin will collapse.

]]> 43598 8 82 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/24642/82.jpg Feign irritation Pull the napkin off the table and feign amazed irritation that you didn’t make the coin disappear — you mistakenly made the shaker vanish instead!
