Coin in Bottle

 

This trick had been performed by Paul Zenon on his television specials

 

Effect

A coin is pushed through the neck of a bottle, even though the coin is too big

 

Props

A folding coin ,that will fit through the neck of a bottle when folded, is needed. These are available at most magic shops

 

Instructions

Ask to borrow a coin from someone, then switch it with your folding coin which you should have in your other hand.

Say to your audience that you are going to try to get the coin into the bottle, even though the coin is too big to fit through the bottle neck

Tap the coin on top of the bottle a few times, then quickly fold it and drop it into the bottle, where the coin will snap back into it's original state, giving the impression that you have just passed the coin you borrowed into the bottle.
