I recently saw a coin effect involving a small Ziploc baggie, perhaps 3"x5" or so. However, I don't believe the size matters. There were 2 coins in the Ziploc bag. I believe they were a quarter and a penny. Magician asked someone to name a coin and the quarter was named. The Magician then proceeded to remove the quarter from the bag, leaving the penny inside. The bag was not opened nor were there any slits in the Ziploc bag. Anyone know the name of this effect?

I have a spare one for sale using a 1 Euro coin if you are interested.
I love this quickie effect and usually use it as a lead-in to another effect such as a hopping halves type effect or 1 coin flurry ending with jumbo coin.
Even though I am in the USA I have grown very fond of using foreign coins. Specs are interested and fascinated by them and no more suspicious of them than using a half dollar in my experience.
European coins provoke pleasant memories for many Americans, which many US magicians overlook IMHO, but that is a thought for another thread I guess.
But Bag4Life gets great reactions and adds another element of mystery to a coin routine.
