SOMETHING ABSOLUTELY R 50 SPECIAL PRIZES The box should be of jus_t_the right internal diameter to allow the coin to fit snuglv in it—say, a penny, & nickel.five-cent piece or a quarter dollar. Now paste over one side of the coin some of the paper with' which' you line.the box, so that when the coin lies in the ‘bottom of the box it will look like the bottom.itself. T O work the trick of the magic coin. Get & round wooden or pfitebo;rd box about one inch in'depth and ‘line the inside of it with red paper, pasting it in- neatly and smoothly. This prepared coin you keep concealed in your harid, having been made ready. without the knowledge, of the company. g Now let us assume that it is a penny you are going to make use of. Keeping the prepared one carefully concealed in your hand, borrow a penhy from some one in the com- pany, and then dexterously substituting the prepared one for the borrowed oné¢, put it into the box, asking the comipany to look at you as you do.it. Then put the- lid on the box and shake it up and down, when the movement of the penny in the box will prove thatiit is there.. Stop shaking the box and command the penny to leave, making a pass or two over the box with your hand. Now shake the box from side to side, a'_nd as the penny fits closely it will not move, and there will not, therefore, be any sound. Tell the company that the peni‘ly has 1gli the box and mly.be ffiufid in. a cértain book on’ the ‘table or in any one of the places where you have hidden them in prepar- ing for the trick. While some one is looking for the penny you slip the prepared one out of-the: box &nd into.yoir pocket, and when the box is handed around for examination it is found empty. 46 g~ OCE-A-DOODLE-DO!
