Fingernail Click Vanish

Many of you are probably familiar with the Click Pass (aka the Click Vanish) where two or more coins disappear in a very convincing manner. Convincing because the spectators actually hear the coins arriving in your hand immediately before they disappear. Of course, two or more coins are needed to create the clinking sound for this type of vanish.

But what if you could toss a single coin (or other object) into your hand and your spectators heard it slapping against your hand when it arrived? Well now you can, because I'm going to teach you my Fingernail Click Vanish!

The sound is created by the object striking the back of your finger nails. It's really great for larger objects (such as a cigarette lighter or chap stick) because your audience will hear the "heavy" object being tossed into your hand. This video shows several different objects vanishing, followed by a rear view so that you can see the mechanics of the vanish.

Another nice feature of this vanish is that your hand remains flat when you display and toss the object. After it makes contact with your nails, they push it into your fingers so that you can curl them around the object at the last moment.

Enjoy, and Merry Christmas!
