Coin Shells

Postby Beardy » Nov 28th, '06, 22:31



Hey there guys - I seek your help once again!

I need a coin shell - a 2p one. However, I need a 2p shell that fits over a 2p - so one that is slightly bigger. I can find some that fit over a penny, 5p, 10p, 20p e.t.c - but i need one that *has to* fit over a 2p. Think "Silver Dream" gimmick - enabling you to "vanish" a 2p in short sleeves - aka, behind the shell.

so I need one of those - well...4 of those to be frank (even though technically I'm Chris :P) ;)

So basically - I need a 2p shell that fits over a 2p - all I can find is one that doesn't fit over a 2p - it is the same size :S

Help appreciated greatly! Love you all more than I can say!

Love

Chris

Whilst looking for such an item, I came across ciggy through a coin for 30 quid. They even showed a pciture of it in action.

I reckon I make make the bits for that trick for much less :)

That's a lot of money for four. Very versatile though.

you can get normal ones for a tenner - but i forgot the name of this - *expanded* shell! expanded was the word ;)

that's what makes it costly - the word "expanded" :)

Crikey O'Riley, I got an expanded 10p from Alakazam for 'only' a tenner. You might wanna try them and see what gives.
