Hello, today I will teach you how to do a very simple magic trick that is great to do at parties. It involves a coin disappearing and reappearing under a cup.

Step 1: Materials

You will need...
2 pieces of paper or 2 paper plates
a clear cup or glass
a glue stick
scissors
a pencil or pen
a napkin or towel
a coin or small, flat object

Step 2: Setting It Up

First, you will need to draw a circle around the rim of the cup on your first piece of paper. After doing so, cut the circle out. Next, place the cup on the circle to make sure it's even. If not, trim the edges so it looks neat. After that, put some glue around the edge of the glass (Don't let the glue dry!). Put the cup on the circle and make sure it sticks. It doesn't have to be a tight bond, just enough to keep the circle of paper on the cup. Place a coin on the second piece of paper. Put the cup over the coin. The paper glued on the cup should look smooth covering the coin.

Step 3: Doing the Trick

Now comes the neat part. Ask someone in the audience to look through the cup and determine if they can see a coin or not. When they say no, put the towel over the cup and raise the cup. The coin has magically appeared! Put the cup back down over the coin. Where did it go?

I hope you liked the instructable, now go trick some friends!
