I'm working on my hopping halves routine... but instead of putting the coins away in your pocket, I would love to have some sort of prop that I can drop the coins into and have them vanish somehow. it would need to be able to vanish multiple coins.

I remember when I was a kid, I had a little box with a diagonal mirror through half of it and a coin slit in the top... so you could drop coins into that and it would appear as if they vanished. but ideally I'd like something better than that.

and since my other hand is holding the other coins in a closed fist, you need to be able to operate it with only one hand.

is there a prop on the market that would work for this?

Rattle purse.

Not necessarily exactly what you're looking for, but Shawn over at Mimesis magic has a SNUG Tuck Box that might be worth a look. PM me if you would like a few more details.

Myself, I'd get the deluxe set.

I'm sure you're not holding them in a closed fist. That is unless there is a reason for the fist.

Thanks for the advice.

I might look into getting one of those rattle purses.

would the "RUBINSTEIN ULTIMATE RATTLE PURSE" be the one to get?

That'd be the one!
