Roger Klause's Whisper

Leipzig knew it. Vernon knew it. The close-up masters of the 20th century knew it, and soon you will know it, too. In the realm of memorable close-up, the Cap and Pence remains a classic, wonderfully baffling effect for any audience. The problem has been that very important details have been left out and the necessary ôright propö and ôright handlingö have never been available - until now. The Effect: A stack of borrowed quarters, with a single penny resting on top of the stack, is placed on the back of the spectator's hand. A borrowed bill is fashioned into a cone which covers the coins. Suddenly, the spectator feels and sees the quarters slowly melting through his hand! The cone is lifted to show only the penny remaining. Immediately, the borrowed items are returned to the spectator. The gasps and astonishment that result will make Whisper one of your all-time favorites. Included is the special custom gimmick, Roger Klause's pet routine that makes this miracle a knockout, clear instructions with 60 easy-to-follow drawings, and introductions by John Carney and Paul Gertner.
