The Hopping Halves trick is a classic of magic with a good reason. It is one of the bestselling coin tricks in magic. Now it becomes even more fooling with Tango Magic’s Inflation. Both sides of an American silver coin and a Chinese brass coin with a hole in it are shown. You remove the silver coin from your hand and place it into your pocket but when you open your hand, both coins are still there. You remove the brass coin and place it into your pocket and again, when you open your hand, both coins are still there. This is repeated over and over under test conditions. Finally, you carefully remove the silver coin showing both sides as you place it into your pocket. When you open your hand, both coins have vanished.

It’s hard to improve on a bestselling classic that has been used by professionals and amateurs alike for many years, but Inflation takes this trick to a new level. If you have never done a coin trick before you will be able to use Inflation. If you are a skilled coin magician, you will love the ingenuity of this trick.

Inflation is easy to do, practical, fun to use, and will fool any audience. Stick Inflation in your pocket and you are always ready for a miracle anytime, anyplace. Includes precision made coins and thorough video instructions.

Nice twist on a classic Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on September 8th, 2025
Nice big coins, very visual, takes a classic coin trick and adds a bit of twist as the Chinese coin with the hole just messes with people.
I did use some teflon on the inside of the gimmicks to quiets things up a bit. Not really necessary but they help with my handling.
These are now my go to for hopping halves-
