1. Before you do this stunt, obtain the materials to perform the trick and show them to the audience as being normal everyday items.

1. While holding the piece of paper in one hand, take the coin and place it in the centre of the paper
|
 |
2. The next stage of the performance is to fold the bottom edge of the paper up to cover the coin.The bottom edge should not be folded up all the way up to the top edge but should be about 5 millimetres below it.

3. The right edge of the paper is then folded back behind the coin as shown in this photo..

4. The left edge of the paper is then folded back behind the coin as shown in the picture.

5. The last fold is made by bending the top flap of the paper behind the coin. This appears to the audience to have completely sealed in the coin. Unknown to them there is actually an opening at the top of the paper envelope.

 |
6. Turn the paper envelope upside down in your hand and let the coin fall into your palm where you can now conceal it from the audience with a little misdirection.

 |
7. For a finale, you can tear the envelope in two, where the audience see that the coin appears to have vanished. Use a little patter to make this trick more entertaining.
