Copenetro (or Visible Coins in Glass) is a marketed trick where coins are made to vanish, and then reappear inside a shot glass, covered with an upside-down larger glass, on a display stand.
A version was invented and circulated privately among magicians around 1937, by British magician Jack Hughes, as "Coins in Glass".
After a version by Bob Kline was marketed in the United States in 1947 as "Copenetro",[1] Hughes would release three different versions of his original routine in England, including "Visible Coins in Glass".[2]
Kline's version won both a Linking Ring Merit Award, and a Genii Award in 1947.[3]
