Nothing new here, but brings back memories and some fun with this type of coin.

I absolutely love Jon Bannon! When I saw he had a new release I knew I had to get it. This is a very
fun routine you can do in close up situations, I would even say it could work on stage. The gimmick
is probably what you think it is, and my only complaint is you don’t get a normal one to switch it
out with. Jon and Erik do a great job teaching and it’s not a long tutorial but they give you a good
amount of ideas for a simple trick. Despite my earlier complaint I still love this trick and found
my own ways to work around it!

Super new effect from the great John Bannon. Getting great reactions from family and friends.
Excellent online instructions. I found it easy to order additional actual coins online (if so
desired). Giving away an actual coin is a nice touch for most folks. Highly recommended!

I’ve done this trick for years and have a lot of fun with it. The addition of the state quarter and
postcard makes it even more entertaining. Tell a good story and you will get a great response every
time!

This is one of those tricks that is so simple and easy to perform yet really, really get the
audience! Love it!
The only problem for me is showing the very small print on the quarter.
It is very difficult to see. Perhaps a half dollar would be better????
That said, it is
still a great trick that kills. The audience? They have no clue! 5 stars!

All of John Bannons stuff tends to be good and this is no exception. Super easy to do, and it
baffles your audience. I'll use this for sure

There is no complicated sleight of hand here outside of a tiny bit of audience management at the
beginning and end. This one depends entirely on you the magician creating a fun and amazing
experience for your group. This leans more toward close-up due to coins being used, but it could be
adapted to a parlor show if you put the postcard in an envelope and have it on display beforehand.
John Bannon, self-working, and no playing cards in sight...buy it!

This trick consistently gets really great reactions from folks. Everyone I have performed this for
has loved it. Having the coins in their hands only is what makes this so strong and engaging. The
one thing I would add is that the video instructions make it seem like it is unlikely you will have
to do a swap at the end, but I think you will need to be prepared to do that. The swap can be super
easy and isn't really a move. You have more than enough misdirection when you ask them to look at
the postcard or business card. There is no heat on the swap, but after the postcard reveal, people
will often want to pick up the coin, so it's good to expect that is going to happen. Personally, I
think having a fully examinable coin at the end is what will elevate this from a good trick to a
potentially great one.

Good coin and prediction trick. Only drawback is if you get a handful of coins from a spectator,
the gimmick will end up in the pile of coins. I ordered a bunch of Hawaiian quarters so that I
could switch it out after the reveal.

Great trick--great explanation. The conversational approach to teaching this trick was amazing,
truly engaging. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
