Volume 1 / Part 6 — Moving a Coin Under a Glass

Removing the Coin

Place a penny or a dime on a tablecloth, towel or napkin and cover it over with a glass in such a way that the glass will rest upon two 25 or 50 cent pieces as shown in the sketch. The coin is made to come forth without touching it or sliding a stick under the edge of the glass. It is only necessary to claw the cloth near the glass with the nail of the forefinger. The cloth will produce a movement that will slide the coin to the edge and from under the glass.
