So far we have made a coin vanish in a couple of different ways. Now let's make a coin appear! You show both hands positively empty and then proceed to pluck a coin from your elbow.
Preparation
Secretly tuck a large coin into the back of your shirt collar before you begin the trick (1). You should be seated at a table.
What You Do
Show both sides of your hands to emphasize that they are empty (2).
Pluck at your left elbow with your right fingers as if you are trying to remove an imaginary "something" from your elbow (3). You have to bend your left arm in order to do this - which automatically brings your left fingers directly over the coin that is concealed behind your neck!
Secretly remove the coin from its hiding place. This movement is covered by the action of showing your right hand to be still empty, having failed to produce anything from your left elbow (4).
Bend your right arm in the same way to expose your right elbow and immediately lower your left hand from your collar with the coin concealed and then "magically" produce it by plucking it from your right elbow (5)!
Display the coin (6). You can make the coin vanish again by using any one of the methods that I have already described.
