How To Make a Coin Disappear

Casually reach toward the coin, covering most of it with you first three fingers, and slide it along the surface toward yourself.

When it reaches the edge of the surface, simply let the coin drop. However, pretend it’s still in your hand as you raise it to eye level, “holding” it between your thumb and first two fingers.

“Show” the coin to your friends. As long as you make some distracting chatter and keep your hand moving, they’ll think they’re seeing it.

Now move the imaginary coin to your other hand and make a fist, as if that hand now holds the coin. Make a point of showing the audience that the hand that previously held the imaginary coin is now empty.

With a flourish, show that both hands are empty. Just make sure the dropped coin is nowhere in sight.
