I used to own a coin through table trick that came with a little transparent plastic lid and small circular pad. You'd place a (gaffed) half on top of the pad and under the lid and, with a knack, the coin would appear to vanish. I was going through some old props, and I found the lid and the pad, but who knows where the coin is. Does anyone know what this trick is called?

It sounds like Flipper to me.

Doesn't sound like a flipper to me...
Don't mean to be rude, but just that this is describing a single coin vanishing, not one of two vanishing. I've not heard of this trick and am greatly intrigued by it. |

This sounds like it might be parts of the trick from a long time ago called BLASTED, JR.
The regular BLASTED involved an inverted glass as opposed to the little clear plastic cover. Julie |

Julie, I think you're spot on, thanks!
Looks like it was re-released too: http://www.jbtvusa.com/latest-j-b-produc......-653.php |

There was also a variation that was similar in that the same basic props are used, but in a slightly (sleightly )different way.
This is RING OF FIRE by Bob Little. All good tricks. Julie |

Actually, I take that back! Blasted isn't quite the same thing as what I have.
https://www.martinsmagic.com/allmagic/mo......tannens/ The clear plastic lid prop I have is much smaller, sized to just slightly bigger than a half dollar. Without giving too much away, the vanish/appearance uses black art, and I assume Blasted doesn't. |

Aha! This is it:

Looks like a Bob Solari effect, taught on "Live in Your Living Room". Looks like I happened to purchase a marketed version about 15 years ago. Case closed, thanks!
