Vanishing Coin

 

This trick has been performed by David Blaine on his television specials

 

Effect

A coin is borrowed from the volunteer and then placed on the back of their hand. The magician then waves his hands over their hands and the coin disappears.

 

Props

To perform this trick David Blaine used a device called a 'Raven', which is available at most magic shops

 

Instructions

Ask to borrow a coin then, using misdirection, exchange it with the coin in your other hand. 

Place the coin on the back of the volunteer's hand and, with your hands, make a few passes over the coin. 

Then let the Raven do the rest of the work for you.
