Cigarette Through Quarter

The magician allows the spectators to examine a regular quarter, the magician then takes the quarter and pushes a cigarette through the middle.

This trick used a gimmicked quarter, as you might imagine one with a hole the size of a cigarette through the middle of it. You can get such a quarter from a magic store of simply by taking a regular quarter and drilling a hole through it. Begin with the gimmicked quarter in the Classic Palm position. Take a regular quarter and show it to the audience, when you get the quarter back, secretly exchange the two quarters in your hand. When pushing the cigarette through the quarter, make sure the quarter is facing your audience in a way that does not reveal the hole. Once you are done with the trick, again secretly exchange the real quarter back into your visible hand and hide the gimmicked quarter.
