Now You See It: A Toby Peters Mystery - Plot & Excerpts
In your hand is a handkerchief spread over the fingers of one hand. Ask someone to place the coin in the center of the handkerchief. Poke it down showing that the coin is still there. Reach over with the other hand, snap the handkerchief. The coin is gone. Show that both your hands are empty, wipe your brow with the handkerchief and put it in your pocket. Solution: Before you place the handkerchief over your fingers, put a rubber band around your thumb and first two fingers of the hand, which will hold the handkerchief. As you touch the end of the handkerchief, let the rubber band slip over the coin. Snap the handkerchief. Show your hands are empty. —from the Blackstone, The Magic Detective radio show “SIXTY WITNESSES,” SAID CAWELTI, leaning back against the table, arms folded, smile on his pink face. “Sixty-six,” Gunther corrected. “Plus at least one waiter.” Cawelti glared at Gunther for a second, shook his head and looked at Blackstone who sat in front of him.
