With a little practice, the gimmick will allow you to literally vanish the nickel in the blink of an eye in plain sight. The nickel is fixed to the gimmick, so if you want it to reappear, you'll have to keep another nickel hidden between the fingers of your hand before the vanish.

The downside is the gimmick is loud, but if you shout a "magic word" during the vanish, no one will be the wiser. Perfect impromptu trick for street or party performances even when surrounded. It really does leave them gasping! Highly recommended.
