any spectator, extends their arms, hands palms down in front of the
wizard and the grip. Immediately the wizard asks him to put a fist over the
another to taste. On top of the upper fist, the artist places a little ash, from
cigarette, which then is rubbed until it disappears. Then the magician asks the
spectator who opens and shows the palm of that hand, ON IT APPEARS
THE ASH STAIN!. Immediately the magician asks the spectator to

another hand and on the palm of it THE STAIN APPEARS AGAIN
ASHES! Note: This last action is performed only by the spectator, not the magician
touch his hands.
SECRET:
You only need a little ash, if you have already performed trick number 5 (Writing in
the Arm), then you already have the ash, otherwise just the one that
you find in an ashtray.
Before starting your effect, moisten the tip of your thumbs, you can
simply place your right thumb over your mouth, moisten it with saliva and
then bring both thumbs together by the tips. This operation must take place
unnoticed by the viewers. In the next moment, you will have to take
the ash and place the tips of your thumbs on the ash. In this way your
two thumbs have a stain of ashes on their tips. But do not let
may the ashes be discovered by you.

The whole trick is done at the beginning, when the magician asks the spectator
that he extends his hands. There the wizard places the ash that he carries spread on
your thumbs, in both palms.
Approach a spectator and ask them to extend their hands in front of you.
The viewer can extend their hands apart from each other or
together. Whether in one way or another, make them place their hands in position.

but you move them with your hands.

In a normal action, take his hands with yours in such a way that
your thumbs rest underneath against their palms and your remaining fingers
above and if the hands of the spectator are together, you separate them, or if
they are separated from the joints.
You say: "It's better if she keeps them like that..." The action will not be suspicious.

well, apparently you are placing the viewer's hands on the

necessary position for the experience. As you may have noticed, already the

ash of your thumbs.

recognizable, comfortable and keeps it in his clenched hand, so that no one
look at the mark. Immediately the magician borrows a handkerchief and
taking it by its four corners in one hand, make an improvised
bag. The magician explains that until that moment no one knows the value of the
chosen currency and minus its brand and its purpose is to find it
among the others once the viewer puts the coin in the bag of
handkerchief and mix all the coins thoroughly. For what the magician
invites the viewer to put their hand, still closed inside the bag and that

The secret is extremely simple and does not require further explanation.
While the spectator holds the coin in their hand, they heat it up to the
temperature of your body and in the meantime the other coins on the
tray or plate, they cool down and take the temperature of the container, which
it is always much smaller than the body. So when you put your hand inside
from the handkerchief, after the spectator has stirred the coins, you only have
look for the one that feels the hottest to the touch
On the other hand, if you want to ensure there are no doubts regarding the currency
chosen and subsequently discovered, asks the viewer to mark it (here
that is where you will need the marker or pen), then he/she will show it to their friends

close to its brand and keeps it hidden...

It is important that you have a good amount of coins, so as not to
risking that the spectators tell you that they don't have coins in their
pockets. The other advantage of using your own coins is that they have had
enough time to match their temperature while they wait for their turn
about the dish.
Although the trick is very simple, the impression that your audience receives is
great. No one is capable of realizing that everything is due to the difference in
temperatures of the coins.
