"Nope, no wings," Shadow answered. It was nice, actually, to meet another human who had experiences as strange as his own. "And I can't do any magic spells or anything. Except this."
He reached into his pocket and pulled out a 2p coin. Holding it in his right hand he held out both hands, palms up, showing Pippin his empty left hand and the coin resting on the tip of the second and third fingers of his right hand. Then, holding the coin in place his right thumb, he turned his hand so the palm faced down and held it above and to the right of his left hand.
He put the coin in the center of his left hand, then palmed it back into his right as he took the hand away, closing his left hand as he did so, making it look like the coin was still in it. He tapped his closed fingers with the index finger of his right hand three times, then, slipping the coin into his right sleeve he showed her both palms again, now empty.
“Nothing up my sleeves either,” he told her, pushing up first his left, then his right sleeve in demonstration, palming the coin back into his left hand again.
Pushing his sleeves back down again he slid the coin into his left sleeve, reached forward, empty hand clearly visible for a moment, and pretended to pull the coin out of Pippin’s ear.
