Here’s a trick that involves a coin and a salt (or pepper) shaker. You must be sitting down at a table to do this trick. A restaurant is a great place to perform this one.

• Tell your audience that you will make a coin disappear by rubbing it with a salt shaker.
• Put a napkin over the salt shaker and place your hands over the napkin.
• Put the salt shaker, covered with the napkin, on top of a nickel.
• Move it around in circles and say something like “abracadabra, abracazoom, make the nickel leave this room!”
• Pick up the napkin and shaker and act disappointed when you still see the nickel lying on the table.
• Holding the napkin and salt shaker away from the table, allow the shaker to fall onto your lap. The napkin should still maintain the shape of the shaker. (Practice this!)
• Tell the audience you’re going to try that again.
• Keeping your hand over the napkin in its shaker mold, repeat your patter “abracadabra, abracazoom, make the nickel leave this room!”
• Push down on the napkin to flatten it on the table. It will look like the salt shaker has gone through the table.

Your audience will be amazed!
