| Effect: You
ask the spectator to hold out his or her hand palm up. You in turn place
your hand on top of theirs, palm down. With your other free hand,
you place a quarter or other coin on top of your hand and explain
to the spectator that with one quick slap of the coin, you will make
it pass through your hand and into theirs!
Materials needed: 2 identical coins, a small
piece of transparent adhesive tape or magician's wax, ( for advanced
magicians super fast sleight of hand will
do ).
Method: When you place your hand on top of the spectators
open hand, you will already have the coin in your palm. If you place
your hand on top of theirs quickly enough, the coin will not fall nor
will the spectator already feel it in their hand ! You then place the "other" coin
on top, on the back of your hand.
On the palm of your other free hand, is where the tape or wax
will be. Then with a quick motion, you smack the top of the coin, which will
stick to the tape/wax. Slowly remove your other hand to let the surprised spectator
see how it "magically" passed through your hand! For those advanced
magicians out there (you know who you are) you can quickly grab the quarter
instead of using the tape/wax.
If you do not wish to use the spectators hand, you can do the same
trick on your lap, but performing the trick in their hand is much
more convincing to them.
