Coin Through Table
Effect: Coin appears to penetrate the table wood, metal etc. of the table and end up in your hand. (works best in restaurants where there is already the things you need to execute this magic trick)
You need: An extra coin, a napkin (some people may need something to hold the napkin down)
Preparations: Put the napkin down on the table with something on top of it. (Don't let them see this)
How to Do it: Ask the spectator if the have a quarter (can work with other coins), Take the coin and place it next to the napkin (not under it), place your fingertips around the edges of the coin make sure the coin is not visible!!! then ask them "Do you know what a soft spot is? It is the on minute place in a table that allows you to pass something through the table without leaving a mark...If you have the touch" While you are talking to them and getting them to look at your face under the cover of your hand you are gonna take your index finger and your thumb and push them together forcing the coin to go under the napkin. As long as you are talking they wont notice. Its hard to see it anyway unless you know its coming. After you slide the coin under the napkin take your fingers keeping the from of the coin and slide it all around the table as if you were looking for where it will fit. The suddenly take all of your fingers up as if you were pushing the coin through the table. Now here is the easy part...As you are pushing the coin around you are going to take the second coin which will be on your lap and slide the rim of it against the bottom of the table. When you "push" the coin through the table snap the coin up against the bottom of the table creating the sound of a coin passing through. Then remove your hand and you will have the same coin in your hand. (Just the other coin you had).
