coin towel vanish

effect: you place a coin into a paper towel or rag (i use a paper towel, then i crumple up to make it less stiff, and more flexible)then take it out of the towel or rag without making a rip in it amazing the audience with no explanation.

props: a paper towel or rag.

preparation:put the coin into the center of the rag still hanging onto it with your thumb and index finger in the towel (pic 1) make a loop behind the coin hanging onto it with your thumb

the trick: flip both sides of the towel towards you to show the coin is still there to your audience, flip both sides of the towel towards the audience, secretly making your hand and the coin behind the two sides of the towel(the part that makes it happen) hiding your thumb which only you should see with the coin, take the coin out and show the spectators the coin, and the towel that should have no rip if done correctly.

tip: take out the coin slowly to make it more dramatic and look more amazing, and practice, practice, practice.
