Abstract
The base member is provided with a coin slot and opening. Plate members to close and open the coin slot and opening are disposed movably in relation to the base member. The plate members are so supported by support members as to be movable between closed and opened positions. When the coin transfer apparatus is used, it is placed on the top of a table with the plate members closed. A coin is set in the coin slot. A handkerchief or the like is put over the apparatus. When the apparatus is lifted off the table top along with the handkerchief, the plate members are opened due their own weight and the coin falls onto the top of the opened plate member through the coin slot. The apparatus covered with the handkerchief are placed onto the table top again, the plate members are closed, and then the handkerchief is taken away from on the apparatus. The audience will be given an illusion that the coin has been transferred from the coin slot to the top of the plate member. Thus, the apparatus can be simply used for the fun of coin transfer jugglery.
