EFFECT
The performer shows the audience a 12 inch oriental style cabinet
which has two doors, he opens the doors one by one to show
that the cabinet is empty. Next the performer introduces a
4 inch SILVER coloured coin of oriental design, which he places
into one side of the cabinet and closes the door. He then
explains that he/she will make the coin disappear, and tips
the cabinet to one side where a loud thud is heard. The
performer then claims that the coin has vanished and to prove
it, opens one of the doors, and shows that section of the
cabinet to be empty. However the audience are not impressed
and demand to see the other side of the cabinet. So the
performer closes the door and once again tips the cabinet,
where another loud thud is heard, and opens the opposite door
to show that the coin is not in there either. The above
procedure is repeated several times until the audience demand
that the performer opens both doors at the same time, this
the performer does and it can be seen that the coin has really
gone. The doors are once again closed and the performer
explains that although the coin has vanished, it can still be
heard rolling about inside the cabinet this is demonstrated as
the performer tips the cabinet from side to side. The coin
will now reappear says the performer, both doors are then
opened to show that the coin has reappeared, but the coin that
was once SILVER is now a GOLD coloured one.
