The Effect The magician borrows a quarter and can have it signed by an audience member. The magician then pushes the pen or cigarette or rolled dollar bill right thru the center of the quarter. After this the crowd is stunned, however you really amaze them when the coin is handed out for examination. Easy to carry with you and it resets automatically. This trick is one of the classic's of coin magic.
FREE BONUS: When you purchase this product from Penguin you'll

Only section for more information.
This one requires some slight of hand, but I'd recommend it. The reactions are ridiculous when you take the rolled up dollar or cigarette and shove it THROUGH the quarter. Add it to your cart if you're an aspiring coin magician.

This is pretty easy to handle. The switch, or course and the angles are the most important things. Just didn't like that you can only show one side, but what are you gonna do...great effect!!

I perform it all the time. it is angle sensitive but easy with practice. I have done it completly surrounded and everyone was amazed. Buy this trick, but only if you are willing to practice.

A Classic

Well, these certainly aren't new to magic, but they still wow 'em. This coin is well made, and well-priced- my only complaint is the cigarette- most places are non-smoking these days, and I perform alot at children's hospitals and the like, where it is inappropriate. I usually use a pen, a little searching and you can find one the right diameter.
The angle issue is really not that bad- how else could the effect be accomplished? If you feel that your technique needs work, or you're having trouble "selling" this trick, try Modern Coin Magic by JB Bobo- some of the effects are dated, but it's great for learning misdirection and advanced sleight of hand techniques! All in all, I think every magician should have this coin in their repertoire.
and share your thoughts with other magicians!
