Second, try making a coin disappear and reappear using props. After a while, open your hand and reveal that the coin is gone! Tuck that hand under your chin again and continue rubbing your other hand into your elbow for a few seconds. Reach down with both hands to pick up the coin, but secretly use the hand you originally tucked under your chin to pick it up. This step is really important, so act embarrassed like you didn't mean to drop the coin. After a few seconds, вЂњaccidentallyвЂќ drop the coin onto the table. When youвЂ™re ready to begin, start rubbing the coin against your elbow. Next, place the hand thatвЂ™s holding the coin on your elbow, and rest your opposite hand under your chin. First, show them the coin to prove that it isn't fake.

Tell your audience that youвЂ™re going to rub a coin into your skin until it vanishes. To learn magic, start out with these two easy tricks:ДЇirst, try making a coin disappear. The key to this trick is to let the cup fall quickly and quietly into your lap without your audience seeing, and to make it look like you're reaching all the way down to the floor when you go to retrieve it.The ball is still here, but the cup went right through!вЂќ

Play up your вЂњmistakeвЂќ by saying something like, вЂњOh no! I think I hit it a little too hard.Remove the cloak to show that the ball is still there, but the cup has rematerialized beneath the table. Put the cup-shaped paper shell back over the ball and give it a smack. As you do, drop the cup into your lap inconspicuously and cradle it between your thighs. Pick up the paper-covered cup to give your audience one last look at the ball. Place the cup upside down over the ball, then mold the paper around the cup so that it covers it completely. Smash a cup through a table вЂњaccidentally.вЂќ Explain to your audience that you're going to pass a magical ball through a solid tabletop using a small cup and a вЂњcloak of concealmentвЂќ (an ordinary piece of paper). Though it may seem like genuine magic, this trick has a simple explanation: cutting the strips in such a careful way rearranges the surface area of the paper so that it's essentially one big outline.If you do, you'll end up losing your own bet! Take care not to accidentally cut all the way through the paper, or to tear it while you're picking it up.Finally, cut through each folded crease individually and open up the paper to reveal an impossibly-large paper portal that you can slip right through. Then, rotate the paper 180 degrees and cut along the midline of each strip you just cut from the opposite side, again stopping just short of the far edge.

Fold the paper in half widthwise and cut a series of strips through the folded edge every 2В in (5.1В cm) or so, stopping about 1В in (2.5В cm) from the far end. Bet your skeptical audience that you can cut a hole in a normal piece of typing paper large enough to step through. Pass an ordinary piece of paper around your body.
