The Elbow Coin Vanish

This trick can be performed anywhere, anytime and you can use almost any small, flat object e.g. beer bottle tops, rings, soda can tabs, not just coins.

This is the trick: A coin or other object is rubbed into your elbow and vanishes into thin air.

This is best done whilst sitting at a table or a bar. Depending on whether you are left or right handed you may want to use the other arm.

Drop the small object onto the table. Bend your right arm and rest your elbow on the table, holding your hand up by the side of your neck.

Pick up the object in your left hand and start rubbing it into your right elbow.

After you have rubbed the object for a while drop it onto the table, as if it didn’t work. Then pick up the object with your right hand and pretend to place it into your left.

Bend your right arm again and as you start to rub with your left hand casually place the coin under your collar.

Then remove your right hand from your collar so that the audience will not get suspicious. Finally slowly open your right hand and show that the object has vanished.
