MAKE A COIN DISSAPPEAR
Hold a coin at the tips of your fingers in one of your hands.
Bring your other hand over to grab the coin.
Before your hand grabs the coin, release the coin from the tips of your fingers and let it fall into the base of your fingers.
Continue with the motion of the "grabbing" hand and act as if you have actually taken the coin with it. In reality, the coin remains in the original hand.
Take the hand away as if it holds the coin. From this point, you can blow on the empty hand and seemingly make the coin disappear-just open your hand. And then you can make the coin reappear by reaching into your pocket with your coin-laden hand and "pulling" out the coin.
Before you perform this, make sure you that you check out the move in a mirror to be sure that the coin is not seen in your hand. Also, try to aim for a natural, unrushed style as you "grab" the coin. The best way to do this is to watch your hands in a mirror as you actually grab the coin and take it away. And then perform the coin vanish where you don't grab the coin, but make it look as if you have. This well-known coin vanish is known to magicians as "The French Drop."
