Can you make a silver coin weep?

The secret of this trick is to get the piece of wet cotton behind your ear without being observed.

Your friends will be watching the coin and will not notice that you are picking up the wet cotton with the hand that is over your ear.

Then place your left hand over your ear and with your right hand rub the coin on your arm, making some remark about the importance of rubbing the arm

Now very quickly place the wet cotton behind the coin and squeeze it. Your friends will be amazed to see water drip from the coin. When the water stops dripping, slip the piece of cotton into your pocket or drop it out of sight. Then show your friends the coin and let them try to make it weep!

Materials: A silver half dollar, a small piece of wet cotton or tissue.
