This trick is one of the greatest I own and is a genuine worker I always carry with me and perform. It requires virtually no skill and is super easy to do if you manage the coins and participant correctly. Plays big. 10 stars!

I ONLY perform this is the participant's hand and it always stuns them when the coin has vanished from their own hand.

Several pointers:

Why the hell are you carrying a bag of international coins? I simply say, you never know when you're cell phone is gonna die, so I like to carry pay phone change in case of emergency. You just never know when your going to be stuck in China or Europe without a phone. When was the last time I was in China or Europe? Exactly. You just never know.

If you perform in the participant's hand, make sure they keep it flat and steady. No table even required. Use your index finger to hold the "special" coin in place when you put it down, so you don't have premature magiculation. Then ask the spectator to quickly close their hand and then jiggle the coins (with a loosely closed hand) to feel that they're there.

I always count the number of coins with the participant to ensure there is no debate how many coins are in their hand when they close it and jiggle the coins.

Lastly, I make this an exercise in hypnosis. I tell the participant that in a second I'm going to ask them to quickly pull out the quarter from their semi-closed hand, and they're going to try to pull it out, but I'm hypnotizing them that there's no way they're going to be able to do it. This goes on until the last coin and then the miraculous bag reveal.

Reset is quick and easy, but you need 5 seconds of privacy. No "resetter" included - but everyone should already have one ;) This trick is so good, so no lost stars for that.
