I bought the Ickle Pickle Nickel for my son for a magic trick to spur his interest in magic. This is a cute little trick that is best done for kids. The mini nickel looks great and is highly detailed. The nickel sh*** is well made and could be used for other magic tricks.

The method is completely self working.

Hi. This is your official PenguinMagic reviewer, B_Magic.

I used to own an Ickle Pickle for the longest time, and when I was first getting into professional magic this was a trick I used all the time actually as part of a fun one coin routine. Though really a beginner trick, it can be used at even an intermediate or pro level, if you perform it well. I don't perform with this anymore, but I do have fond memories of this effect.

I would recommend, if you purchase this, to eventually replace the disc with something more natural to get even bigger reactions. It's not hard to construct an gimmick that looks more real than the disc provided.

Very similar to the Sphinx Magical Block, only with a nickel rather than a penny. I find this works well as a gag, but not so much as a big trick. Also, if you own the Raven, then you can really spice up this trick, however, if you own the Raven then you probably already have this trick. If you are looking for something fun and cute to do, grab this.

It's worth getting this purely for the tiny Nickel gimmick, so it's a bonus that you get a full routine and other gimmicks with it too! Great price.

I think I got this as my first purchase on penguin magic. I believe I got it by surprise (in a special pack). I recently re-started using it after leaving it in my magic "cabinet" for about a year. Actually, it gets pretty strong reactions and contrary to my belief it not only amuses people they cannot tell also how it was done. With a little refinement on handling and the use of another 5 cent piece you can have everything examined.

Its really hard to tell how the product handles after a year or so but lets just say that its still in pretty good shape.

Use this with the raven if you have it. That's how I performed it for a good while. Also if you have lethal tender you might consider using that instead of the green disc. Otherwise you might be interested in using a "pen" to do the transformation.

I'm lately thinking of extending these items as part of a routine including a jumbo 5 cent coin.

For the price and the impact it gives its a great product.

The Ickle Pickle Nickle is a great trick, no one figured it out when I brought it to my school! It is very easy to do also, and a great price! All of my friends were amazed by the Ickle Pickle Nickle!

its a good trick you can use the nicke for other tricks i recumend it for beginers

this is a great trick for beginners you will be able to do it within 5 minutes of opening the package also do be sure to buy some extra mini nickels they get lost quite easliy

pros:
easy trick
little slight of hand
great opener

cons:
mini nickel lost easily
quite simple for audience to figure out
can mess up if not experienced

This trick is the best ever i do this trick all the time and it works. you will be able to do in 5 min from opening the box. For the price if ADD TO CART NOW!!!

It's a really cool effect, but I would recommend picking up a few more mini nickels because they get lost easily.
