ABOUT SHATTERING COINS

In an exploration of magic and science combined, Michael introduces ten copper coins, four ball bearings, and a milkstone. The coins are sandwiched in between two of the ball bearings and placed into Michael’s hand. Then, the remaining ball bearings are pushed into his fist, as well as the milkstone. A heat lens is balanced on top of his fist, and a piece of paper is placed on top of all. A match is lit and touched onto the paper. It bursts into a mini fireball. Then, the lens and the ballbearings are removed from Michael’s fist, but when he opens his hand, all ten coins have shattered into non-existence!
