Coin through coaster
Effect:
A coin is wrapped and set on a coaster on top of a glass. The package is tapped, and the coin falls through to the glass.
Secret:
This takes a bit of practice. Take a coin and wrap it in a piece of paper leaving one side open. Secretly slide the coin out of the package into your hand as you hold it. Set the paper down and pick up a coaster. Set the coaster on top of the upright glass, secretly placing the coin on the rim of the glass or tumbler balanced by the coaster. Place the package on top of the coaster and say you will make the coin penetrate through the coaster. Give a firm tap to the package, thus knocking the balancing coin into the glass. You might want to have the coin marked to prove it is the same one.
