Effect:
Centering your opening remarks around myths and monsters you display a high quality miniature wood coffin and call attention to the vampire image clearly printed on both sides. You now relate the legend which states that a true vampire cast no reflection onto a mirror. To challenge the legend you introduce a small pocket mirror and place it on the table. In keeping with the the claim the vampire images do not show up when either side of the coffin is held before the mirror! Only the reflection of an empty coffin is seen. A small wooden stake is now trust through the heart of both vampires. Still no vampire reflections are evident. The coffin now held tightly in your hand, the wooden stake protruding through your fingers like the mast of a boat. When another stake is held in front that going through the coffin to form an impromptu crucifix the coffin vanishes leaving only two wooden stakes as tangible testimonial to the legend of the vampire.
