The right fingers appear to take hold of something that is quite invisible and drop whatever it might be on the left palm. The right hand is turned palm down, fingers extended, and brought down to rest on the left palm.

With the hands together, the arms are lowered. Pause for a beat, then slowly raise the right hand up, exposing the coin resting on the left palm. Do not move the left hand as you do this.

Performance Notes

After practice, you'll find that in holding the coin at the back of the hand you can actually relax all your fingers and spread them very slightly apart without loosing your grip on the coin.

This entire sequence should be performed in one continuous series of movements. The coin is well hidden when it is out of sight and the smoothness of the choreography will heighten the effect. The effect is more of an illusion than a trick.
