I think he means smoke it, but that should never be recommended. IF you smoke, then go for it, if not, then just just do as you say and rip it in half. No point ruining your health for the sake of a hobby!

I was nearly very sarcastic when you asked what you should do with a folding coin (isnt it obvious? Fold it!) but i decided not to be!

the basic idea for the vanishing cigarette would be to pushn it into your fist, lite or not your choice, and then vanish it completely.

coin through table tap a coin on the table and put your other hand underneath, keep tapping and the coin will go half way through the table pause a beat for them to see the coin halfway through then push it all the way through and bring your other hand out holding the coin.

angle sensitive yes very but with proper handling very deceptive.

wow, that sound like a very neat trick, but don't you think that if i do that to the same audience that i bit a coin from, they will make the connection? I mean, how can I get my audience (Which are usually just members of my school) To back up to a certain angle without them crowding all around me? (Also, they keep saying "WELL if its really magic then do it again) how can i get them to stop? Also, thanks for the trick that sound really neat! :D

That is the curse of the magician, if you do it right they always want you to repeat it, but to maintain the magic you must try and resist the temptation! One of your biggest weapons is surprise and if they know what to expect they will be more likely to see through the trick. If you know more tricks show them something else instead.

If it's the bitten coin they want to see again try:
"Twice? No way guys... I mean I would but my dad really can't afford the dentist bills" or something like that! :wink:

Yeah sometimes I like to let it 'snap' onto my teeth, as if I'm busting a tooth :wink:

I got my tt from penguin magic, the only problem was that i got it with the vanishing hankerchief. I found it to be a bit to big, then I decided to get aa Vernet one, and it fits so snug and the colour is a perfect match too.

Vernet, in my opinion are the best available. Simply superb.
