This is a barehanded coin vanish that Michael Skinner used to impress magicians with.

You cleanly show a coin at your fingertips and slowly make it vanish. After which, you show your hands empty on both sides in a series of flourishy displays. You then reproduce the coin.

Since this uses a gimmick, it is only fair that you know what it is before your purchase. You will need to supply your own folding coin. Michael used a traditional folding Half Dollar, but this is much easier and more organic if you use a folding Quarter.

Produced by Meir Yedid Magic in 2024. Original release date: 1998 (in Michael Skinner’s Professional Close-Up Magic Volume 2). Running time: Approximately five minutes. This video was AI enhanced for optimal HD viewing.
