As performed by Doug Henning on The Johnny Carson Show. Featuring the impossible journey of a marked coin into the inner realm of a matchbook cover. Effect, At your request, a borrowed quarter is marked for identification. The coin in now wrapped inside a small piece of paper, which in turn is placed in an ashtray and set ablaze. Handing the book of matches to a spectator, you invite all to watch closely. As the paper is consumed, it is evident that the coin has completely disappeared. Where is it? Inside the matchbook. However, when the spectator opens it, he finds no sign of the missing quarter. But wait. Something bizarre has happened. Not only is the matchbook unusually heavy, there is a coin shaped bulge at the center of the cover. Other than that the cover is completely intact. Peeling away the surface of the cover, the very same coin is found within the cover's fibrous interior.
