Magic Video - Under Cover by Jim Coles
Description & Effect
Unleash an Impossible Penetration
Imagine this: a spectator signs their quarter, clearly marking it as their own. With a casual gesture, you place this very coin onto a regular pack of cigarettes. The spectator covers the coin with their hand, anticipating a moment of magic. You make a magical pass, and as their hand is lifted, the quarter is still there. But then, an impossible realization dawns – their fingers slide right over the coin. It hasn't vanished; it's impossibly under the cellophane of the still-sealed pack! You can clearly show the pack is unopened and completely unmarked. The true magic unfolds as the spectator themselves opens the pack to retrieve their signed coin, leaving them utterly baffled. This isn't a dream; it's the astounding reality of Jim Coles' 'Under Cover'.

This method removes all doubt, turning a simple coin into an object of wonder.

Imagine this: You borrow a quarter from a spectator and have it initialed with a Sharpie marker. You take a pack of cigarettes and place the quarter on top of the pack.

Only…the quarter’s still there. You ask the spectator to pick up the quarter. She tries but her fingers slide right over the coin. Impossibly the coin is under the cellophane! You clearly show the pack is unopened and unmarked in any way. You have the spectator open the pack and remove her signed coin. They can look all they want but an answer is nowhere to be found.
