Penny Pick-Up

Tell one of the children to stand with their feet against the wall. Place a penny eighteen inches in front of the toes. Tell them the penny is theirs if they can pick it up without losing their balance or moving their heels from against the wall.

Secret: Your penny is safe. It can't be done.
