Maxello Magic

Display three half dollars, a coffee cup, and a BIC pen. "Watch closely," you advise while holding one of the coins. Wave the pen over your hand and the coin disappears, then pick up the cup and suddenly there's a loud clink - the coin has mysteriously dropped inside!

"A skeptic would think that I used sleight-of-hand while holding the cup, so this time I'll leave it on the table." Take the second coin and wave the pen over your hand. Again the coin vanishes, and again there is a loud clink inside the cup even though no one is anywhere near it! Dump out both coins, display them, then replace them inside.

"A really persistent skeptic might think that I somehow tossed the coin into the cup, so this time I'll make it totally impossible." Use a deck of cards to cover the mouth of the cup so that nothing could possibly get inside. Take the last coin in your hand and slowly wave the pen, explaining, "It's going to happen on the count of three. One, two..."

"Three!" At that instant the coin vanishes from your hand and a loud clink is heard from inside the cup. You reach over, lift off the deck and dump all three coins from the cup, leaving your audience completely flabbergasted!

Wait until you see how good this looks! And there's no reset - just toss the coins back into the cup and you're ready to go again. You will receive the complete illustrated routine along with a diabolical new gimmick that's built into an ordinary looking BIC pen. You supply the coffee cup and three coins. No gimmicked coins are needed - it works with quarters, half dollars, even foreign coins.
