Do not touch the Coin

Place a dime upon a polished table and ask one of your friends to pick it up without touching either the coin or the table.

Fig. 12.—Showing how coin is removed from table.

A glance at [Fig. 12] shows how the trick is done. Slightly curve your hand so that it almost touches the table, and blow steadily upon the table at a distance of about five or six inches. The force of your breath passing beneath the coin will carry it into your hand.
