May I borrow a coin. Oh, do you see the date? This only works with
quarters minted in 1980. You can just squeeze them and they disappear.
Some people think they go up the sleeve and they're right. Not my sleeve,
yours.

Borrow a coin. A quarter or half dollar is most suitable. To vanish the coin,
you will now perform a basic coin sleight known as The French Drop. The
original version was this, but this position is an improvement. The left hand's
action is to slightly and imperceptibly lift the thumb allowing the coin to drop.
This action is combined with the right fingers coming over to apparently
take the coin. The coin falls as the fingers cover it.
Notice the coin falls into a position which makes it easy to be fingerpalmed.
Click on Building Blocks for details.
Go through the action of vanishing the coin, pause and then reproduce it
