- Now curl slightly further.

- Up to now it should look simply as if the signed coin was put into your left hand.
- Really, known only to you, the coin is in your seemingly empty, natural and relax-looking right hand.
- Blow on your left and slowly open it to show that it has "disappeared"!
- Make a short speech about how "logically the only place the coin could be, based on past history," is in your volunteer's ear. Reach up with your right hand to their right ear.
- Now, in one smooth motion draw your hand away, slightly brushing their ear, meanwhile pushing the coin up to your finger-tips, out of your palm, with your thumb. It look as if you are pulling the vanished coin from your volunteer's ear!
- Show that it is the same coin that your volunteer signed.
