A borrowed quarter or any other coin of similar size is placed on a pedestal and covered with a cap. When the cap is lifted the coin is seen to have vanished. The cap is seen to be clearly empty. When you pick up the pedestal and "accidentally" shake it, a coin is heard rattling inside the pedestal. You open the base of the pedestal, and a clear plastic disc appears which says " Thanks for the Quarter". You can also use the same apparatus to produce, vanish or change a coin. Mechanical in working and comes complete attractively box packed with full colored instructions, at a low affordable price.
