A Coin Magically Appears Inside An Empty Matchbox

One of the very first magic tricks I learned from my father involved a coin and a matchbox. I watched him intensely as he took a matchbox from his pocket and emptied the matches onto a table. He then proceeded to close up the matchbox and place it to one side. A coin was taken, and promptly made to disappear -I had no idea where it could possibly have gone. Showing both hands to be empty, he reached for the matchbox and slid the drawer open. There, to my amazement, was the coin inside the matchbox he had shown empty just moments before.
In this video, I've reconstructed the magic trick he showed me, and also revealed the method used in this baffling display.
