63 Coin Flight: Copper coin and silver coin openly displayed in one of magician's hands, other hand shown empty, both hands close, open to show one coin in each hand.
64 Capricious Coins: "Two coins (one Silver, one Copper) are set on an improvised 'drumhead', made by securely fastening a paper napkin over the mouth of a drinking glass. The performer puts the coins through their paces by causing them to flit to and from his pocket: then one of them suddenly and inexplicably arrives within the confines of the sealed glass."
