During the years I have been doing close-up magic I have discovered many unique ways of vanishing a coin. Here is one that is both easy and effective.

Proceed with the same moves as described in the Thumb Palm Vanish (page 60), up to the point where the coin has supposedly been placed in the left hand; really it is thumb palmed in the right. Right hand pulls up left sleeve slightly by grasping it midway between the shoulder and the elbow. You will notice that as the sleeve comes up the right hand moves inward towards the left breast pocket. It is in this action that the coin is dropped into the pocket.

This is a casual, offhand move, and appears quite natural. You have apparently pulled up the sleeve to show that the coin cannot go into it, but in this simple move you have disposed of the coin in the breast pocket.

After the proper build-up open the hand to show it empty. Show both hands—the coin has completely disappeared.
