here's a trick that Street magicians
used to show they can make magic with
common objects in this case the magician
will use this ordinary cup of piping hot
coffee a few mysterious gestures are all
it usually takes for something
miraculous to happen watch carefully
the coffee magically turned into a pile
of coins several dollars worth of coins
almost enough to pay for a fancy latte
okay so how does the magician make the
coffee turn into coins right before a
disbelieving eyes here are the secrets
first he casually shows us that the
coffee cup is ordinary it's not
concealed inside is another smaller Cup
this Cup is just large enough to fit
below the coffee line a sponge has been
cut to fit inside the outer cup which
has a small hole in the bottom this hole
no bigger than his finger is one of the
keys to the trick the small cup filled
with coins goes into the outer cup on
top of the sponge
finally the cups are topped off with
some coffee the real kind when the
magician places his right hand behind
the cup he's placing his finger inside
the hole the small cup Rises causing the
coffee to spill over its sides and down
onto the sponge now only the coins are
visible and that's how he fools us on
his coffee break
