The Silver Passage

A coins-through-table routine by Gary Ouellet published in 1980 as part of the Masters of Magic series (Volume 1, #3). Four coins are introduced, then a small, round mirror from a make-up compact is placed on the table, whereupon each of the four coins penetrates the mirror and table, arriving in the magician's hand on the underside. The last coin penetrates by means of the Hirata Master Move, a sleight-of-hand technique created by Japanese magician, Haruhito Hirata, whereby the coin, held in full view at the magician's fingertips, disappears in the blink of an eye as it's brought down to the mirror.

Ten years later, in Close-Up Illusions (Camirand Academy of Magic, 1990), Ouellet included a chapter of follow-up techniques, including The Gossamer Dissolve, a method for causing all four coins to vanish simultaneously as they're apparently dropped into the mirror, effectively bringing the routine to a close.
