Miser's Dream
Magic routine
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Miser's Dream[1] is a magic routine where the magician produces coins from the air (and often other places) and drops them into a receptacle they are holding, usually a metal bucket.[2] It has also been called "Aerial Treasury". It was invented in the 19th century and popularized by T. Nelson Downs c. 1895.
The trick is considered a crowd-pleaser, with an easy-to-follow plot based on a common desire. Its secret method usually involves palming.
