Coins in Head.

Effect - 5 coins are pressed into the magicians
forehead until they vanish from sight. An empty cap is
placed on a table and the magician blows on it and
the coins appear there.

Method - This is probably the most complex effect as
it involves some sleight of hand.
You need two genuine coins, one unloaded cap, a
shell stack and the ring.
Prepare the stack by putting one genuine coin on top
and one on the bottom. This is actually six, but refer
to it as five and they will generally believe you.
Cover the coins with the unloaded cap and use the
vanishing move. This means that one genuine coin is
still visible as it does not fit in the cap. If you show this
to the audience as if there are four others in there as
well without directly referring to it, it seems that it is
the case.
Lift the cap to your head, and as you do this, allow the
genuine coin to drop into a palming position so you
can safely hold it.
When this is done, pretend to press the coins into
your forehead, then reveal the vanish.
If you are working at a table, drop the palmed coin
into your lap as your hand moves down again, but if
not, just hold on to it until you get a chance to
naturally move towards a pocket to hide it.
Place the loaded cap inside the ring on the table and
use the appearing move, but don’t reveal it yet.
Blow on the cap and make magical gestures, then
slowly lift up the cap.
