Silver by Michael P. Lair

Coin effects have always been my niche in the world of magic. Since I was a boy, watching a coin vanish or appear has fascinated me. The effects use:

1. Invisiblair: A holdout (a gambling device that has been used for nearly 100 years) that I have modified specifically for coins.

2. Folding Half: A gimmicked coin that can be produced under the most improbable of circumstances.

3. Double Stick Tape: Providing an inexpensive means to vanish a coin from either hand impromptu and without a trace.
