Also known as the FICKLE NICKLE, this was made famous by Doug Henning on TV. This includes the 2 gimmicks (one practice and one performance), the original instructions, all in the original sales envelope.
NOTE: Due to the age of this item you will need to supply some new IT and magician's wax for one of the gimmicks.
From the description:
A bare hand vanish of a coin in which the coin is ACTUALLY placed in the hand, and then vanishes. BOTH sides of the had are FREELY shown. The hand is closed and the coin RETURNS.
If you could perform real magic, it would look like The "Vanishing Nickel" by John Cornelius. This easy-to-do close-up miracle has been stunning audiences since Doug Henning performed it on television.
Your fingers slowly close over a coin resting on your palm. When you open your hand, the coin has impossibly vanished with no explanation. Spreading your fingers wide apart, you slowly turn your hand over to show that their is no trace of the coin. It's completely gone.
You then close your hand again. When reopened, the coin has appeared right in the middle of your hand. It's a visual moment of magic that will break everyone's brains. There's simply no explanation other than "it's magic".
"Vanishing Nickel" is everything you could want in a close up magic trick. It's amazing, makes a huge impact and doesn't require any sleight of hand. You'll be able to perform professional quality magic that looks like a camera trick without any hard work. No black art, special lighting or sticky stuff either. It can be repeated instantly.
