pulling a quarter out of the ear

created by bitter_engineer

(idea) by bitter_engineer (6.5 y) (print)   ?   (I like it!) Fri Jun 09 2000 at 6:56:28

A cheap parlor trick put on by an older male relative for the amusement of a child. Usually the uncle palms a quarter, then leans down and appears to find something behind the child's ear, producing the quarter with a flourish. The resulting treasure is then presented to the child to keep.

If you're feeling sadistic, try doing this trick with a live cockroach.
