Disappearing Coin

 Effect: A coin disappears from your hand in spite of the fact that several people check it is there.
Secret: Show the coin on the palm of your hand and cover it with a handkerchief. Go to several people and ask them to feel the coin under the handkerchief. The last person you approach is (unbeknown to the rest of the audience) your secret assistant. He pretends to feel the coin but actually takes it off your palm. You can now pull the handkerchief away with a flourish and your hands are shown completely empty.
The coin has disappeared.

That's Torn It!

Effect: A coin is wrapped in paper. You then tear up the paper – the coin has disappeared!
Secret: Place the coin on the paper, just above the centre. Fold the top portion of paper down over the coin.
Fold the right side of the paper around to the back. Do the same with the left side.
Lastly, fold the bottom portion back. This procedure leaves the bottom edge of the packet open. Hold the
paper in your hand and allow the coin to slip secretly into your hand. Tear up the paper and the coin seems to
have vanished.

Homing Coins

Effect: Four coins disappear then magically return.
Secret: On two sides of a triangular stand is a ledge to hold four coins. Those on one side are loose, the
others are glued in place. The stand is on your table with the loose coins on show. Pretend to take the first
coin away but really let it fall behind the stand. Put the imaginary coin in a paper bag. Do the same with the
other coins. As you cover the stand with a scarf, tip the stand backwards. Blow up the bag and burst it.
Whisk the scarf away and the coins have returned.

Money Making Matchbox

Effect: Two coins are placed in a matchbox and the box is closed. When the box is opened again the number of coins in it has increased to three.
Secret: Open the matchbox and hide a coin between the top of the drawer and the cover of the box as shown. Place two coins in the box and push the drawer shut. This forces the hidden coin to drop into the drawer. Make a few mystical passes over the box and then open it. Say: "That's the way a magician makes money!".

Making Money

Effect: Three coins are placed in your hand. When you open your hand again the number of coins has increased to five.
Secret: Before your performance secretly stick two coins to the underside of your table with Plasticine. Place three coins on the table. Let everyone see that your hands are empty. With your right hand, scoop the coins from the table into your left hand. At the same time, the left fingers reach under the table and take the two hidden coins. Open your left hand and the coins have magically multiplied.

An Expensive Roll

Effect: A bread roll is broken open and a coin is found inside.
Secret: Hold a coin on the fingers of your right hand. The audience must not know this, so keep it hidden. When you are at the dinner table take a bread roll and place it directly on top of the concealed coin. Bend the roll downwards between your hands. This causes an opening in the bottom of the roll. Force the coin into this opening.Now break the roll from the top. As the roll breaks, the coin appears from the middle of the roll

Wallet Of Wonders

Effect: A 10p coin changes to two 5p coins.
Secret: To make the special wallet required you need two sheets of paper, folded as shown. Open out the folds and glue the shaded areas together. Put two 5p coins in the centre of the top sheet and fold it around them. Fold up the bottom sheet and turn the whole lot over. Place a borrowed 10p in the centre of the empty sheet and fold the paper around it. As you do this secretly turn the whole packet over.Open the paper to reveal the two coins.

Find The Coin

Effect: A coin is covered with any one of three cups and the cups are then moved around. You can say immediately which cup is covering the coin.
Secret: Attached to the coin is a long hair. When the coin has been covered the three cups can be moved around as much as anyone wants. Although your back has been turned while this has been going on you can easily locate which cup hides the coin. All you have to do is look for the hair sticking out from beneath one of the cups and that tells you all you need to know!

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.

Die to Coins

Effect - A die is placed on the table. Suddenly, as a
brass cap is passed over it, it changes to a stack of
coins. Then it is changed back and the die is handed
out for examination.

Method - The same as 5p coins to 10p coins, except
the 5p coins are replaced with a small die, or anything
else which fits nicely inside the shell.

Coins in the can.

Effect - 5 coins disappear and reappear inside a can
which they would not normally fit through the rim of.

Method - Before the performance, take five small
coins and drop them into an empty drink can. Leave
this on the table upright without knocking it or
touching it.

Put a shell stack on the table, visible, and an
unloaded cap.
Carefully place the stack on top of the drink can,
showing that they could not fall through the hole.
Place the unloaded cap over the stack and use the
vanishing move, but without revealing the vanish yet.
Lift the can without shaking the coins inside, and
pretend to press on the cap quite hard. After a few
seconds, jolt the can so the coins inside rattle around.
Reveal the vanish, then get away before they ask to
examine your props.
