The King of Koins gives away the act: every sleight and subtlety he knew, including the full working of “The Miser's Dream” as he performed it at the Palace Theatre for nearly 200 straight nights.

In God We

A Fig. 47. reappears from the ashes and is returned to the owner. The borrowed coin is changed for a substitute and the latter handed to a spectator to examine the date, and the borrowed one pocketed. The duplicate coin is now changed for one with the edge cut so as to leave a hook as per Fig. 47, which enables the performer to attach it to various places. While the coin is attached to the wand, reverse-palm a small piece of paper containing the date of the coin. Bring the paper to the palm and reverse-palm coin. Show date on paper, which burn, and bring coin to palm of hand, substitute this for second coin and hand to the spectator who noted the date.
