Great for the stage. Report this review

I've been doing Hopping Halves on stage for years. I even used to use the half-dollar set, and it always worked just fine.

For a very big room, I suppose you might need IMAG, but honestly, IMAG may not even be strictly necessary in a large theater, assuming you know how to display the coins well.

Despite a lot of conventional wisdom to the contrary, I've never had a problem with anyone seeing what is going on, because I perform at chest level, take my time, and really make sure everyone sees. It's a great way to come down into the crowd and give even a large room a "close up feel."

Having larger coins makes it that much easier — and these are awesome as long as you don't drop them on the edge! (Lord help you!)

Highly recommended. Worth the cash, especially as a second-phase show segment to prove that you're a "real sleight of hand wizard." (If only they knew.)
