Imagine this:.. You borrow a quarter from a spectator and have it initialed with a Sharpie marker You take a pack of cigarettes and place the quarter on top of the pack You have the spectator cover the quarter with a hand and say you'll cause the coin to pass completely through the pack. You make a magical pass and have the spectator lift her hand. Only ... the quarter's still there. You ask the spectator to pick up the quarter. She tries but her fingers slide right over the coin. Impossibly the coin is under the cellophane! You clearly show the pack is unopened and unmarked in any way. You have the spectator open the pack and remove her signed coin. They can look all they want but an answer is nowhere to be found.
