These Damn American Coins By Matt Colman

 First off, three coins drop to the table. Counting the three coins...you realize one has vanished in mid air...It has penetrated into the purse! Open up the little purse to find the first coin!

The magi tries to repeat it, this time not through cheap imitation leather, oh no he means business...this time through solid wood! Two coins are rubbed on top of the table. The hand is removed and one of the coins has gone! It has melted through the table!

The magician losing his sanity over the damn American coins tries it one more time. The last one can even be signed! It's gone! The other hand goes underneath the table and plucks the last coin out from under.

The purse is placed on the table. "A miracle" they all shout. It's all over. Just then the magician seems to lose his balance as the coin purse he's resting on vanishes from under his hand! It's melted through the table too!
