HOW ITS DONE:

Ask for a quarter, palm it for your trick quarter, the trick quarter has a cigarette shaped, spring loaded trapdoor in it. force the cigarette through the trap door. tada!

there are only three kinds of trick,

1) mechanical (e.g. trapdoors in coins etc.)
2) slight of hand (hidding, moving, using or recovering somthing in such a way as to hide your actions from your audiance)
3) camera trick.

David Blaine uses all three

Re: David Blaine: Melting Quarter

Oh, of course it's a simple trick. But I was actually more amused by the participants and their reaction.

BTW, how many kids did you tell that there is no Santa Claus today? ;-)

Whoa...wow...wow...oh man...wow, whoa.... I need another bong hit, man. I think you could have torn a piece of paper in two and this guy would have thought it was supernatural.

You mean David Blane can not really defy the laws of physics. I want my money back! Where is my real quarter?
