Magic With A Copper-Silver Coin by Jerry Mentzer

Tricks with coins are always popular with spectators. For adults and children, money holds a certain fascination that never loses its appear. This book contains a number of tricks in which copper and silver coins are used together. The tricks all make use of the well known gimmick, the copper / silver coin.

Here is an example of an effect from this book:

A copper English penny and a silver color half dollar are used. The spectator closes his hand over the English penny, seeing it up until the last moment. The performer holds the half dollar in his fist. When each opens his hand, the coins have changed places. That is, the English penny that was in the spectator's hand has changed into the half dollar. And the half dollar that was in the performer's hand has magically become the English penny. Both coins are tossed into the spectator's hand for examination. Folks, this is powerful magic. But, let the magic happen in the spectator's hands, and it becomes a miracle!

Magic with a Copper / Silver Coinis a terrific starter book for the coin magician to begin his journey using this important but often overlooked unique prop.
