The Effect
Spectator selects & signs a card, the card is lost in the deck, you then borrow a coin (10p would probably work, not sure of the sizes of UK money anylonger) which can be signed if desired. You then wrap the coin in tissue paper & light it, it bursts into flames & when the flames have died down the coin is seen to have burned a hole through part of the pack & stoped ontop of the selected card.

Difficulty
(1=easy to do, 2=No sleights, but not so easy, 3=Some sleights used,
4=Advanced sleights used, 5=Suitable for experienced magicians only)
somewhere between 1 & 2. The one move used doesn't realy count as a sleight. if you are not performing this as a one off trick you will need to do a deck switch
Review
This trick packs a serious punch. The Aardvark in the deck is ingenouse
and is compatable with most currencies in the world (tho I believe it was made originaly for a US Quater)
The trick shouldn't take more than 10 min to master & you will be blowing your spectators away very quickly.
The deck is entierly inspecible after the trick
Side note you will need to purchase another Aardvark to work with this deck, but that is readily available from your local dealer.
Overall
The ease with which you can learn & perform this trick makes it a good trick for Begicians (love that term)
I'll give it a 10/10 for Spec reaction & ease of use.
