Silver and Glass

Effect:
You have a glass in front of you, you take a handkerchief or a paper towel (napkin if at restaurant) and cover the glass with it. You take out two quarters, you give them everything to examine.then you say how every thing is solid matter including the table. You pick up one coin and hold it over the glass. The magician then drops the coin. The specs. see nothing but hear the coin hitting the glass. You do it again with the second coin and they not see but hear it drop in the glass. now the magician firmly slams the napkin down and the glass is not there. The magician then brings his other hand up from the bottom of the table and has the glass with both coins.


Materials:
All you need is two coins a glass and a handkerchief or napkin something that holds its shape newspaper is the best.


Explanation:

This effect is a much stronger version of saltshaker thru table.

First you put your two coins to the right of you and place them down. You then place a napkin so its covering the glass. then you give them the coins to inspect and the glass and napkin then you show that the table is real and not a gimmick or something, While doing that you bring the glass backwards and ditch it in your lap ( you have to have some real guts using your friends glass) this takes practice practice practice!
you put the napkin back down make sure it holds its shape. Then you pick up one coin with your right hand, false transfer into a thumb clip and have that right hand by the edge of the table. You then take your left hand (they think its in this hand) and hold it over the glass and pretend like your dropping an invisible coin. at the same time you do that you drop the coin thumb clipped into the glass on your lap. repeat with second coin.you then say matter doesn't matter to me then you firmly smush the napkin on the table.bringing up the glass on your palm and drop out the coins.
