"Hi I am magician Paul Weatherbee, I am going to be doing a coin trick right now. The first thing we need for a coin trick is someone with a coin, could you please come and help me? Could you put the coin right into my hand? Can you see it there? Boy says, "yep". Okay, very good, we are going to cover up the coin with the cloth, just like this here, better yet I will tell you what we will do, I will let you hold on to it. Can you hold that coin? Can you feel it right there? Boy says, "yeah". Okay, when I count to three, well first I am sprinkle a little bit of magic wiffle dust on there, there you go, when I count to three let go and we will see what happens. Are you ready, one, two, three and the coin is gone. Now I am going to tell you how I did that trick. First, you have somebody bring a coin and put it in your hand, now this handkerchief is specially made in the hem of the handkerchief, right here there is a quarter sown in, you have somebody put a coin in your hand, you cover it up with the cloth and then you secretly take the corner with the quarter in it, bring it up underneath as you are going to hold it, then you will hand it to somebody to hold and then you take the coin out from under it, so when you hand it to somebody to hold, they are actually holding the coin in the hem. You reach for a little bit of magic dust, sprinkle it on the top, then the coin vanishes and that is how you vanish a coin. Have fun and until next time keep the magic in your life."
