To P e r f o r m. Borrow a coin from someone and ask the person to mark it with a pen by writing his name or initials—you’ll need a permanent marker for this

Borrow a coin from someone and ask the person to mark it with a pen by writing his name or initials—you’ll need a permanent marker for this, something like a Sharpie.

At the same time, turn your
left hand palm up. Bring your
left thumb and fingers together
as if you’re holding something
(even though you’re not), then
lay the tissue over them.

Take the marked coin with your right hand. Place the coin into your left hand so your left thumb and fingers can grasp it through the tis-sue (photo 1). Without pausing, using your right fingers push the coin firmly downward—it secretly breaks through the bottom of the tissue

	and drops into your left hand
	(photo 2). To everyone watching it
	appears as if you have just placed
	the coin insided the tissue.
	Your right hand squeezes the
	tissue into a small ball and hands
it to the person who marked the
	coin (photo 3). Ask him to hold
	the tissue tightly in his closed fist.
	When your right hand takes the
	tissue away from your left hand,
	your must turn your left hand
	over, keeping your fingers slight-
	ly curled—but not too much!—so
	the coin hidden in your hand is
	not seen by the people watching.
	Pick up the straw with your right hand
	and gently tap the back of the person’s hand,
	which is covering the napkin. Ask him if he
	felt anything. He will say “no.”
	Put one end of the straw in your mouth.
	Grab the bottom of the straw with your left
	hand, making a fist around it. Blow into the
	straw and let the coin drop out of your left
	hand at the same time (photo 4). It appears as
if you’ve blown the coin through the straw.

Take the napkin from under the person’s hand and rip it into little pieces as you open it. You must tear the napkin up so the person does not find the little hole you made when you pushed the coin through it earlier.
