Instructions / Assembly

4. Once the magic hat is in place, remove the quarter from your pocket and show it to the audience.

5. Place one hand on the rim of the magic hat. With your other hand, hold the quarter above the opening of

the hat. See FIGURE 4.

6. Drop the quarter into the magic hat. As the quarter passes into the hat, smoothly remove the hat with

your other hand. This will cause the secret quarter to drop into the cup. If timed correctly, it will seem like

the quarter traveled right through the hat without stopping. See FIGURE 5.

7. After you lift the magic hat from the cup, tilt the hat so that the quarter slides into the secret compart-

ment. See FIGURE 6.

8. Turn the cup toward the audience so they can clearly see the quarter inside. Then show them the inside

of the hat so they see it is empty.

TIP: For added effect, push your hand inside the hat so the audience can see that there are no holes in the

bottom of the hat.
