By , About.com Guide

1 of 4

A spectator counts several coins into an opened book. When you pour the coins back into his hands, the coins have multiplied. This one is easy to learn and perform and works well with a theme of economics or finance.

Materials:
A large, hardbound book. A bunch of small coins - pennies work great. Ten is probably a good number.

Secret:
You use the book to hold and then deposit extra coins into the spectator's hands.
