This is a really good coin trick for beginners and experts alike. The trick is pretty visual and requires no slight of hand. You do exactly what it says you do. You show plainly two coins and take out out and cleanly put it into your pocket and it appears back in your hand. Do this a few more times and again, with no slight of hand, they just keep coming back. Finally, you take ONE coin, and cleanly show that it is only one coin and put it in your pocket and suddenly the other one disappears. This trick is very similar to a trick called Hopping Halves but uses some nice looking coins. If you like doing coin magic, this is a good one to own.

Buy only if you are after a certain look

The only reason I bought this was because a friend is going to be doing a haunted house with a pirate theme. I wanted to do some coin stuff to occupy people while they were waiting, and I figured I would go with a hopping half routine with coins that fit more with the pirate theme.
This would be the only reason that I would recommend this trick.
Gold & Silver is hopping halves with different coins. If you can do hopping halves, you can do this.
Quality: 5/10
The coins jingle. Loudly. You will need to find a way to hold them so they don't jingle. I believe this can be done, but for the price you should not have to. I would only recommend this trick if you want a hopping halves for a particular kind of show where coins of this style would be more appropriate than a hopping halves set.
Ease of Learning: 7/10
I did a low number because in order to get this to work well, you are going to have to re-learn how to manipulate the coins so they don't jingle. This will take some practice.
Price: 7/10
The coins, for the cost, are expensive. They need to be made to much tighter tolerances. If this were done, this would be on a par with hopping halves, but as it stands, it is just a knockoff that should be avoided unless you are going for a particular look. And because I wanted a particular look, I bought them. But once the event is over, this trick will languish until the next themed party/event where I can use them again.

Save some money and buy Hopping Halfs. I was planing to get the Hopping Halfs but Penguin was out of stock so I got these but I do not like this because only the one part is examinable. So it lost 2 stars the other star is lost because they are noisey.
