A Dime and a Penny are shown to your spectator. Magically, the Dime vanishes right before your spectator's eyes! Or, you show 41 cents ( a quarter, dime, nickel and penny) which magically transform to 31 cents, (quarter, nickel and penny). Step-by-step illustrated directions ! You are supplied with a gimmicked coin. The gimmicked coin looks like a regular a coin; however, it is made of two parts, an insert and a shell. The shell lookes like a penny, the insert is a penny on one side, a dime on the other. It's made so well, it comes with a "bang ring" to help you get the insert out of the shell! Here's how to do the 41 to 31 cent switch: |
|
 |
Place the gimmicked Dime/Penny insert on the table with the Dime side up. To the right of that, place the Penny shell, followed by the regular Nickel and the regular Quarter. The coins should be about an inch apart Ask the spectator how much money is on the table. The spectator will say, “Forty-one cents.” |
Now, push the coins into a pile from right to left. Ask your spectator again how much money is in the pile. They will answer once again, “Forty-one cents.” Note: When you stack the coins together, gently apply pressure to the stack of coins to force the shell over the gimmicked insert. Now, spread the coins out and reveal that you magically made forty-one cents turn into thirty-one cents. Note: Only three coins will remain. |
