Name: Three Coin Monte?
Price: £29.99
Type: Coins?
Difficulty: 2
Performance time: a minute or so longer if your patter is good and you draw it out?
Examinable: No.
Reset Time: Instant you can keep going.
What you get: Three Brass Caps and a set of Gimicked coins.
Effect:
Three coins are shown, two copper (1p) coins and one £1 coin. All three are then covered with metal caps. A spectator is asked to keep their eyes on the cap covering the £1 coin as they are moved around. The first time they choose the correct cap, but when the action is speeded up, the spectator fails to find the £1 coin. To make things easier, you mark the cap containing the £1 coin with a 1p piece and move the caps around once more. The spectator still fails to pick the one covering the £1 coin, however many times this is repeated.
Another top quality coin effect by Eddie Gibson. This is a great alternative to the 3 shell trick, and the special props provided make this easy to perform.
Comments:
This is a good trick but if you are short of cash I would buy the Kangaroo Coins as the gimicks are better and the effect is similar but on the whole a good trick.
Overall Rating: 7.
