Magic Tricks

I have many of R. Paul Wilson’s wonderful effects and regularly use many of them including Challenge Coin. However with Challenge Coin I alter a small part of his instructions. I tell the spectator he will make all the decisions but do not say he will do all the actions. Also, in the case of “rolling” a six, there could be a situation where the spectator misses the prediction before arriving at it, in which case the prediction on the chip doesn’t quite fit because it seems like a different bet. So, when a six is rolled, I use a procedure similar to what I use if a five is rolled – before showing the prediction card I show all the other cards as not matching the prediction and then reveal the prediction card that does match the prediction. Challenge Coin is a wonderful effect and I highly recommend it. The metal chip markedly enhances the effect. But if you see it like I do, the procedure may require a few small changes as described above.
