This is merely a continuation of The Bobo Coin Vanish, (page 63). At the finish both hands are shown empty. The coin has vanished completely.

Continue The Bobo Coin Vanish up to the point where the right hand thumb palms the coin as it makes its first pass over the closed left hand. It is at the beginning of the second pass that the right hand disposes of the thumb palmed coin. It is dropped in the outer left breast coat pocket as the hand swings inward to begin its second pass, Fig. 1. There must not be the slightest hesitation in getting rid of the coin; the right hand continues to make a few more passes before the left hand is opened and shown empty.

You will observe that each time the right hand makes a pass over the closed left hand it swings back toward the left breast coat pocket. Therefore it is a simple matter to drop the coin in the pocket on the second pass. The hand must not hesitate when disposing of the coin; make each pass smoothly, blending it into the next without slowing down.

The breast pocket can be held open slightly by stuffing a crumpled handkerchief in it beforehand. The right side is toward the audience during the vanish, which shields the getaway and conceals the move of dropping the coin in the breast pocket. And don’t forget to keep your eyes firmly fixed on the left fist during the passes with the right hand and the disposing of the coin.

Practice and understand all moves so that you can do them automatically. Blend all moves into one complete action and you will have a baffling coin vanish. This has fooled some of the best posted magicians.
