TO
MAKE
TWO
MARKED
COINS,
WRAPPED
IN
SEPARATE
HANDKERCHIEFS,
COME
TOGETHER
IN
ONE
OF
THEM.--The
coins
and
handkerchiefs
borrowed
for
the
purpose
of
the
last
trick
will
again
serve
in
this
one.
Palm
in
your
right
hand
a
penny
of
your
own,
and
throw
over
the
same
hand
one
of
the
borrowed
handkerchiefs.
This
will
effectually
conceal
the
substitute
penny,
which
you
may
now
take
between
the
finger
and
thumb.
Holding
the
handkerchief
spread
out
upon
the
open
hand,
you
take
up
with
the
left
hand
the
marked
penny
and
place
it
on
the
handkerchief,
as
if
to
wrap
it
therein,
but
at
the
same
time
with
the
third
finger
push
a
fold
of
the
handkerchief
under
the
substitute
penny
in
your
right
hand.
You
now
invert
the
handkerchief
over
your
left
hand
for
a
minute,
allowing
the
marked
penny
to
drop
back
into
that
hand,
and
at
the
same
time
twist
the
fold
already
mentioned
around
the
substitute.
The
audience
see
the
shape
of
a
coin
wrapped
up
in
the
handkerchief,
and
naturally
believe
that
it
is
that
of
the
marked
penny
which
you
have
apparently
placed
inside
it.
In
reality,
it
is
that
of
your
own
penny,
wrapped
merely
in
an
outside
fold.
You
now
hand
the
handkerchief
to
some
one
to
hold,
requesting
him
to
grasp
the
coin,
and
hold
tightly.
