The Demon Goblet

Performer shows a crystal goblet empty and has it examined, yet a number of coins appear in it one at a time.

Palm a number of coins in the right hand, pressing them against the wand which you hold in the same hand. Close the two middle fingers against the pile (see Fig. 58). Take the goblet in the left hand by the stem. Raise the end of the wand upright, at the same time pushing a coin with the thumb against the first finger.

Make a downward stroke with the wand, at the same time allowing the coin to escape from the fingers into the glass, its flight being hidden by the movement of the wand. Repeat until all the palmed coins are in the goblet.
