Beforehand: Trace the rim of the glass on white paper. Cut out and glue the circle over the opening of the glass, as shown at right. Arrange the coin and glass on a sheet of white paper as shown above. -
What to do: Tell your audience you have a magic napkin that makes money disappear. Cover the coin and glass with the napkin, as shown. Pick up the glass with the napkin still covering it and place it over the coin. -
Wave your hands over the napkin as if to cast a spell, then remove the napkin. -
The payoff: Observe their amazement when they see the coin is gone!
-
Bonus: To make the coin reappear, put back the napkin and move the glass off the coin. Wave your hands over the napkin, then remove it to reveal the coin.
