Hold the quarter up against a piece of aluminum foil and cut a quarter-sized circle out of the foil.

​

Place the aluminum foil circle over the quarter and press the edges around the quarter to make a nice smooth circle.

​

Rub a pencil eraser over the aluminum foil until you see all of the details of the quarter in the foil. Remove the foil and you are ready to perform the trick.

​

Show the audience that you have a quarter (it is really just the aluminum foil that looks like a quarter. Tell them you are going to use your powers of magic and super strength to squish the quarter into a little ball... then do it!
