On Coins through the Table

A popular and much varied plot in coin magic wherein a quantity of coins (usually four) is placed on a table, then penetrates to the underside, falling into the magician's hand or a receptacle such as a glass. One of the first descriptions of this plot was in Nouvelle Magie Blanche Devoilee written by Jean-Nicolas Ponsin in 1853

It's a poem
about moving through the darkness
in search of the bright side.

The trick is to keep it together

as rainy days hit the street,
as things
hit rock bottom.

What lies beneath
but our honest reflection,
cast out against the water
like coins down a well,
each wish echoed
down below.

As evening shadows close in,
we'll see we're halfway through:

a way out is revealed
as if by moonlight
in the middle of the downpour,
as we move beneath it

with nowhere to go except
through the darkness
to sunrise,
where we'll find a bright start.
