The Coin Collector's Purse - £15.00

Stunning magic which happens in a spectator’s hands!  

This is a strolling magic routine which is a genuine reputation maker as it creates a quick effect that will leaves your audience shaking their heads in amazement.

The performer brings out a small coin pouch inside which he says he keeps a valuable coin from his personal coin collection. The reason the purse is so small is because you always keep collectible coins in individual purses to make sure that they do not get scratched or damaged.

The pouch is handed to a spectator who is invited to remove the coin from inside. He looks at it and notices that the coin has a white sticker on one side with the magician’s initials on it. The performer explains that this is to ensure that he gets his valuable coin back!

Bringing out a sheet of stickers the magician puts the spectator’s initials on a second one, and the spectator attaches it to the other side of the coin thereby making it a unique coin. The spectator holds out both his hands palm up and the coin is placed on one of his hands and the empty purse on the other.

Taking the coin, the performer places it into his left hand which closes around it. The fist is held over the purse and with a crumbling motion of the fingers, the hand is opened to reveal the signed coin has gone. Both the performer’s hands are shown to be genuinely empty.

The spectator now lifts the coin pouch from his other hand and opens it to discover the signed coin is now back inside!

Having used this routine repeatedly in my own commercial work I can vouch for its strong impact on a lay audience. You can use it at tables or in a walkabout situation as no table is required.

You receive a black leather coin pouch (which is examinable), a Vanisher gimmick (which you will find useful in many other effects) and colour photo illustrated instructions which take you through all the necessary handling.
