A crystal box stands on the Dragon Altar. The magician places a coin on top of the solid lid of the box, and then places a solid ball on top of the coin. He covers the box with an empty tube. Under cover of the dark, the ball amazingly penetrates both the coin and the lid and ends up inside the crystal box. The box, lid, coin, and ball are ungimmicked. The tube is really empty. There are no extra boxes, lids, coins or balls. And yet, with no sleight of hand, the magic happens.

 

 

Dragon Altar is fabulous magic trick that is very easy to perform yet totally baffling.
