You place four nickels on the table. After just a moment of expectation you place a magical brass cap over the stack of nickels. You make eye contact with your spectators, place a finger on the covered stack, do a magical gesture with your hand, and lift the brass cap to reveal four dimes in the place of the nickels. The nickels have disappeared entirely. You retreat from the table as your spectators lung forward and examine the dimes and brass cap. You smile confidently... everything is examinable.

Why we Love it

• The effect is startling.

• Very small and portable

• We've watched people examine it for 30 minutes before giving up.

  Note : This magic trick can be used not only with American nickels, but also with Canadian, New Zealand, and Australian nickels.
