How to Turn Coffee into Money

You will be magically turning an ordinary cup of coffee into a cup of coins. Or so it would seem. Here is a video of what it should look like: BOOM

  

Some Things You Will Need

1. One Large Cup

2. One Small Cup (Preferably the same type as the large cup)

3. One Sponge

4. Scissors

5. Coins

7. Coffee (or any other dark liquid)

How to Prepare

Step One:

Cut a hole into the bottom of the large cup big enough to stick your finger through. You will be sticking your finger through it.

 

Step Two:

Take the scissors and cut the sponge into a circle that will be able to fit into the bottom of the large cup.

Step Three:

Place the sponge into the bottom of the large cup. This will absorb the coffee when you stick your finger through the hole and push the sponge up.

Step Four:

Ball up the paper towel and shove it down on top of the sponge in the large cup. Press it down as far as it will go. This will also help absorb the coffee, when the sponge is not enough.

Step Five:

Place the smaller cup into the larger cup. Make sure that when you place it inside that the outside edges of the smaller cup are pressed tightly against the inside edges of the larger cup.

Step Six:

Fill the small cup with coins a few centimeters from the top of the large cup.

Step Seven:

Pour the coffee (or any other dark liquid) into the cup all the way to the top so that it covers the coins.

Congratulations, you are ready to perform the trick!


How to Perform the Trick

Step One:

Find someone you want to fool.

Step Two:

Hold the cup by the bottom. Carefully stick your finger through the hole in the bottom of the cup. Slowly and gently swirl the cup as you push the sponge up with your finger. 

As you push the sponge up, the small cup will rise letting the coffee spill over its sides. The sponge and the paper towel will soak up the coffee as the coins rise to the top of the bigger cup.

Ta da! The magic trick is complete! You are now a magician!
