Walk out with the rubberband around your fingers. Don’t draw any attention to this hand. Just keep it hanging at your side or in your pocket. Ask a spectator for a quarter and show the handkerchief with your other hand.
Drape the handkerchief over the hand with the rubberband. Place the quarter into the handkerchief. What you’re doing here is spreading the rubberband and inserting the coin and a piece of fabric from the handkerchief into the stretched rubberband to form a little pocket. (Click here to see the pocket from the back).
Let the rubberband slip off of your fingers. The band should tightly close-up, trapping the coin in a bit of fabric in a secret pocket.
