That's Torn It!

Effect: A coin is wrapped in paper. You then tear up the paper – the coin has disappeared!

Secret: Place the coin on the paper, just above the centre. Fold the top portion of paper down over the coin. Fold the right side of the paper around to the back. Do the same with the left side. Lastly, fold the bottom portion back. This procedure leaves the bottom edge of the packet open. Hold the paper in your hand and allow the coin to slip secretly into your hand. Tear up the paper and the coin seems to have vanished.
