Modern Magic: A Practical Treatise on the Art of Conjuring
·

Holding
the
coin
upright
between
the
fingers
and
thumb
of
the
left
hand,
throw
the
handkerchief
fairly
over
it.
Having
shown
that
it
is
fairly
covered,
remark,
“But
perhaps
you
may
fancy
I
have
changed
the
coin.
Allow
me
to
show
you
that
I
have
not.”
With
the
right
hand,
palm
upwards,
take
the
coin
through
the
handkerchief,
(as
shown
in
Fig.
77),
between
the
first
and
second
fingers
of
that
hand.
For
a
moment
let
go
with
the
left
hand
(but
without
removing
it
from
under
the
handkerchief).
Turn
over
the
right
hand
towards
yourself,
and
again
seize
the
coin
with
the
left
hand;
but
this
time
nip
the
opposite
edge
of
the
coin
to
that
which
it
first
held,
and
through
the
double
thickness
of
the
handkerchief.
Remove
the
right
hand
from
the
coin,
and
with
it
raise
the
outer
edge
of
the
handkerchief
and
show
the
coin,
as
in
Fig.
78.
Then
let
the
edges
of
the
handkerchief
fall.
Apparently
the
coin
is
underneath,
and
in
the
centre
of
the
handkerchief;
but
in
reality
it
is
outside,
lying
in
a
slight
fold
on
the
side
away
from
the
spectators.
The
above
description
sounds
intricate,
but,
if
carefully
followed
with
the
coin
and
handkerchief
will
be
found
perfectly
simple
in
practice.
It
is
worth
while
taking
some
pains
to
acquire
this
sleight,
as
it
is
of
great
value
in
coin
tricks.
