There's actually 2 pennies. The one that I madereappear at the end of the trick isn't the same penny that Imade disappear in the beginning of the trick. I'll show you howthis all plays out.For starters, there's a little secret setup that I do whennobody's looking. Maybe if you go to use the restroom orwherever you are, I look and I find a sugar packet and I tear itabout halfway through. I dump out just a little bit of the sugaronto my plate, and you slip the penny inside.Female: That's how it got there.Ben: That's the dirty work. Then you take the sugar packet that has thepenny already in it, that's halfway ripped, you reposition theflap so it looks like it's not ripped. Nobody's going to seethat, because you stick it right back in the middle with all theother sugar. The next part is making the coin disappear. There'shundreds of different ways to make a coin disappear. Actually,if you go back to a different HowCast video, I think there's 3or 4 different HowCast videos that teach you to make a coindisappear. What I did is I used a method called the French Drop,where you pretend to take the coin, but I really leave it in thesame hand.Female: The French Drop.Ben: The French Drop. The reason it's called that is because when I go totake the coin, the coin drops, and I pretend to hold it overhere. When I said, "Blow on it," go ahead, blow on it, my lefthand which is concealing the coin, secretly dropped it in mylap. That way, nobody noticed that the coin really didn't . . .Female: Disappear.Ben: Exactly. That's exactly how that part works. I'll walk you throughthat part again. I hold the coin here, I pretend to take it. Isay, "Here, blow on that," that's when I drop the coin on my lapover here.Female: On your lap, and then [inaudible: 02:20].Ben: Then I show that it's gone.Female: Great.Ben: Then you ask where it is and I show you. I say, "We'll take one ofthese." You pinch it like this, that way they don't see thatit's already been opened. You say, "I'll rip it." Then you dumpit out. There it is.Female: Great. Voila.Ben: Voila. That's how you make a penny disappear and reappear in a sugarpacket.
