I just thought of another one that’s pretty amazing. It does require a little practice though.  
The good news is all that it requires is a quarter, and a long sleeve shirt with lose sleeves. (think dress shirt instead of sweater)

(right handed directions)  
Hold quarter resting on your fingertip of your left hand. Or in my case I make a little ‘table’ for the quarter with my thumb, pointer and middle fingers and rest the quarter on top of that. With my right hand I snap my fingers over the quarter and it disappears! I can then show both hands are empty, and then make the quarter reappear!

The trick is simple when you snap your fingers do it in such a way that it shoots the quarter up your sleeve. It’s way easier than you would believe.

Again, here is a youtube video of it:
