Classic Showpieces:

• The Planet: A small globe and four half-dollars are shown; one by one, the first three coins magically transform into coins from different countries. The fourth coin, initialed by a spectator, is found among the three foreign coins after they vanish inside the globe.
• The Sleeve: The performer explains how his magic is accomplished—with sleeves! An empty jacket sleeve is shown and placed on the table. A half-dollar is produced from the sleeve, vanished, and then reappeared, repeated until a pocket mirror is produced. Following a magical sequence, the coins and mirror vanish, culminating in the production of a giant coin from the sleeve.
• The Rainbow: A small plastic rainbow is shown, and a half-dollar is passed near it. When the hand opens, the silver coin is now blue! A second coin turns yellow, and a third becomes tri-colored. The finale reveals a pot of golden coins magically found at the end of the rainbow!
