Using the foregoing method, a sucker vanish can be worked that is a real fooler to magician and layman alike. I’ll wager it will become one of your favorites.

Besides having a handful of coins, you must be wearing a wrist watch with an expansion band.

Proceed as in the above vanish up to the point where the non-existent coin is placed in the left hand. From here on the effect differs greatly.

As you pretend to place a coin in the left hand, that hand closes over the first two fingers and thumb of the right hand. Then the right two fingers are quickly removed and placed in back of the left hand. The right thumb is still within the left fist as the first two fingers slowly move inward toward the wrist. Place these two fingers between the hand and the wrist and stretch the band a couple of times. This action causes the band to visibly move on the top side of the wrist, creating the impression that the coin is being inserted under the band. Remove the right thumb from the left fist, then show the right hand empty with a flourish. With considerable ceremony open the left hand and show it empty.

Naturally everyone will suspect that the coin is hidden underneath the watch band and it won’t be long until someone lets his suspicions be known. After some reluctance remove the wrist watch and show it. If someone doesn’t want to examine the watch and take it apart I miss my guess.
