Trick Effect & Routine:
The Magician is sitting at a table across from the spectator. There is a coin on the table in front of him/her. He picks it up and when he opens his hand it is either gone or has changed into another coin.

Preparation:
Any type of coin. This will work with anything that is small but some large coins can be used too. I've gotten away with a silver dollar.

Method:
place the coin in front of you on a table. You must be sitting down. look at your self in the mirror. place the tips of the fingers of any hand over the coin just enough to cover the coin from sight. Now slide the coin off the table and with you thumb pin it to your hand. This is what the pick up should look like if you were to regularly pick up the coin. Now for the move. Slide it off this time but let it fall into your lap instead of letting your thumb pin it against your hand. In the mirror this should look like you are picking it up but what you have really done is dropped it in your lap. To make a coin change, have the other coin classic palmed in your hand when you false pick up the one on the table, to the audience you have just picked up the coin on the table, but what you have really done is dropped the one on the table and now have a different coin in your hand.

Comments:
Remember that when you are false picking up the coin on the table it should still look as though you really picked it up, so pick it up a few times for real in front of a mirror. If it doesn't look exactly the same when you don't pick it up, you're doing something wrong. And also remember that this move should only be used as PART of a routine not as a whole trick in itself. The audience has nothing to suspect until you give them something to suspect, all you are doing is "picking up a coin" nothing fantastic. So don't make it seem amazing just make it seem like a regular action. Have fun with this move it's great as an impromptu move.
