Needed:

• Coin – larger is better.  Quarter will work but half dollar or silver dollar is best
  • Note: I have found that a large washer 1.5″ to 2″ in diameter works even better than a coin because it is heavier and can be easily purchased from any local hardware store.
• Piece of paper – approximately 1/6″ of a letter size piece of paper (~4″ x 3.5″)
• Small bible or magic wand

Lesson:

You teach that the devil works by folding you, one sin at a time into his trap.  You feel like at first that you can get out but slowly you are captured in his web.

The best way to understand this is to watch the videos above but… Place the coin on the paper and fold it in half leaving an overhang of about 1/2″ at the top.

Fold the sides AWAY from the front toward the back leaving extra room on either side of the coin.

Finally, fold the top BACK (do not cover the final opening).

Make sure you bend the paper and form the outline of the held coin.  This will make it look like the coin is still inside even when it is out.

Tell them that while the devil is trying to catch us, thankfully, there is a God with delivering power and when you pray and ask Him for help He is ALWAYS there to help.

While you are talking, turn the paper so the coin slips out of the pocket formed by the folds into your hand.  Mention that you need your magic wand or your bible and get it from your pocket, dropping the coin into your pocket at the same time.

Slowly rip the paper in pieces showing that the coin isn’t there.
