Coin Vanishing Through
A Table Trick
Cool coin trick where a
coin appears to vanish through a table.
Effect:
A glass is covered with a paper tube. The glass and tube are then
placed over a coin on a table. When the paper tube is removed, the
coin has vanished and has actually travelled through the table.
Preparation:
You will need an ordinary glass.
Three sheets of white paper approx 8 inches by 12 inches.
Glue
and scissors and a coin.
Place some glue round the rim of the glass and place the glass upside
on a sheet of white paper and allow the glue to dry.
When
the glue is dry cut round the rim of the glass with the scissors so
the mouth of the glass is covered by a paper circle.
Turn
the glass upside down and wrap a second sheet of paper round it to
form a loose fitting tube and glue this and allow to dry.
Place a coin on a third sheet of paper laid on the table and a second
coin of the same value should be attached by tape or wax under the
table.
Method:
Announce to a spectator that you are going to make a coin travel
through a solid table.
Take
the paper tube and place it over the glass which is already on the
table upside down on top on the sheet of paper.
Lift
the tube covered glass and place it over the coin with the glass still
being upside down.
Remove the tube from the glass and the coin appears to have
dissappeared.
Give
the tube to the spectator for inspection.
The coin is actually
under the paper rim of the glass which is invisible as it is the same
colour as the paper sheet on the table.
If you wish to increase the effect you
can reach under the table and remove the other coin and tell the
spectator that the coin has actually travelled through the table.
