Well what can I say ...........
I sometimes end up buying a "trick" 'cos I really want to know the secret and if I'm not happy with it, I can always sell it on and prob get most of my money back ....... well ........ not with this one - this is here to stay

I've performed this about 5 or 6 times now and
I LOVE IT. The reaction from the specs is great and the more they try and figure it out, the more baffled they become.
I was initially a bit worried about the actual bending of the coin, but there's so much time with the misdirection, it's just criminal. Believe me, if I can do it, I'm sure anyone can, 'cos I'm not the nimblest of people.
Last night I tried a new patter, which went down quite well. I get them to write "space" on one side of the coin and "time" on the other and also draw a straight line, plus to add a few doodles to personalise the coin . On the other coin I get them to draw a stick man of a weight lifter, then I go through the patter of them imagining that the stick man is bending the straight line on the coin. This action is bending the very fabric of space and time and I explain that if we bend space and time, we can go back in time.
After a short while, I explain that the coins have now gone back in time to a point before we drew on them. I tell them that the coins now have no writing on them, but that prob wouldn't impress them, as they would only think that I'd swapped the coins for some different ones, or the ink had just rubbed off. So then I take them further back in time to a point before they were even made/minted. I ask them if they can still feel the coins in the hand, to which they reply, "yes". I explain that the reason they can still feel the coins, is that only the coins have travelled back in time. The hands are still in the present time and they think that they are still holding the coins. I get them to open their hands and I look confused when the coins are still in their hands ..... and I mutter something along the lines of space and time not being bent ........ then wait for the reaction when they see the bent coin in their hand
