A Coin - A Hankerchief, And Nothing More

I particularly enjoy magic tricks using everyday objects that can be inspected before and after. The history of this one goes way back into my distant childhood, when almost everything appeared as magic to innocent eyes. A coin (it may be borrowed) is covered with a hankerchief. Audience members can feel the coin through the fabric if they so desire. The magician then lifts a side of the hankerchief to show that the coin is indeed still there. Covering the coin once again, he/she proceeds to gently tug at the coin, which inexplicably and visibly passes right through the hankerchief and into the hand of the magician. There is no fancy sleight of hand or switching, It's a simple and puzzling effect that's easy to master. The video includes a 'Secret' section to explain exactly how the effect is accomplished.
