eipzig knew it. Vernon knew it. The Close-Up masters of the 20th century knew it, and soon YOU will know it, too. In the realm of memorable close-up, the “Cap and Pence” remains a classic, wonderfully baffling effect for any audience. The problem has been that very important details have been left out, and the necessary “right prop” and “right handling” have never been available…until now. Roger Klause, renowned as one of the contemporary masters of magic, at long last, gives away his secrets to this classic routine.

Effect

A stack of borrowed quarters with a single penny resting on top of the stack is placed on the back of the spectator’s hand. A borrowed bill is fashioned into a cone, which covers the coins. Suddenly, the spectator feels and sees the quarters slowly melting through their hand! The cone is lifted to show only the penny remaining. Immediately, the borrowed items are returned to the spectator. The gasps and astonishment that result will make Whisper one of your all time favorites.
