Miniature Money Production

Creamers at a restaurant made a great impromtu magic item. Some of the fast ideas were Chink-a-Chink, Matrix, and cups and balls in miniature. For a while I sought to have a special clear cover made so I could make a miniature rice bowls effect. I soon found that there were just too many varieties of creamers to make a standard gimmick.
A creamer opening (in some places) has a circumference that is equal to a quarter. You can also place pennies dimes and nickels into the empty creamer. Cap it off with the quarter wedged into the creamer mouth.
Get the second creamer, and visibly pour salt into it. Over pour so that the salt it in a sligt mound. Then take your finger and level the salt level with the mouth of the creamer. Turn the coin loaded creamer (careful not to expose the coin load) upside down over the salt filled creamer and turn it over three times. When you lift the creamer, the salt will be resting on top of your coin load and it will look like the salt load has doubled.
Level it again, and cover the creamer with the empty side. Turn it over again, only once. As you lift the cointainer, squeez it a bit so that the quarter will dislodge and the coin load will fall onto the empty container. You have made a mini rice bowls with a coin load finale.
