I bought one of these when I FIRST started magic 8 years ago...

And I still use it today. That should tell you something about this product... This is SUCH a cool thing, even if not presented as a magic effect. I am still fooled by it, even today by a puzzle standpoint, but to most laypeople, you will hear reactions that, "You vanished it and made it re-appear" or "You sealed the holes in it!". The creativity aspect and room for development with this thing is CRAZY.

Anyway, the other good thing about it is almost IMPOSSIBLE to screw up. You can own this for an hour and be doing this perfectly every time and getting some SUPER strong reactions. I love this thing, PLUS, it is really cheap!

Recommended highly.

This is an economical little coin effect that looks very impressive and very impossible. Best of all it is very easy to perform. A pocket-sized stage illusion this one packs small and plays big

This is a great trick for beginners to practice presentation. The overall quality isn't that great. done properly this will still fool many people.

This effect is really old. It dates back very far. Basically you put a coin into a little box with eight holes in it. You then drive eight "nails" through the holes AND the coin. You remove them and the coin is unharmed.

Now the effect is amazing and the secret is quite genius, but there was always on problem with this. It's made of plastic. It's plastic and it's not professional.

If some machinist like Roy Kueppers or Todd Lassen could make this out of metal and with real nails, with the right presentation this would be a killer.

It comes with the box, plastic nails, and plastic half dollar, but you can use a real one.

Kids will like this. It's a good inexpensive trick. If you don't have a ball and vase, get that first.

This is another great trick for kids. You can let them examine everything before and after it is done so don't worry about them figuring it out. It can be obvious for some of the adults who might watch you do it, but the children won't figure it out.

If you are looking for some pretty amazing magic that you can show to a younger audience, then pick this up. Once you see their faces, you will be glad you picked this up.

I find that this trick works really well. a must have add to cart!

for the price is good not bad at all. the trick is not that bad either. you can let the people check out the coin and the thing. then when you perform it people will laugh and say whhhaaattt, let me see that again. its a fun little thing to have.

Hi. This is your official PenguinMagic reviewer, B_Magic.

This is a neat thing for beginners. In fact, you may find this is many kid magic sets. Definitely good for kids or people just finding neat little beginner effects for some reason or another. If you are trying to get serious about your magic, I would stay away from gimmicks like these.

this is a great value and cool trick. it packs small, but unfortunately this case is very cheesey looking and plastic, but that is why it is cheap. use a half dollar instead of the plastic coin to add another element of impossibility.
