not sure if anyone did Coin magic and was looking for a different slant to put on things but these look quite nice

(cue someone doing the 'Why are Pirates caled Pirates?' gag)

Now those look cool. Customised booty bag, treasure map? I could see someone doing a very good coin routine with this.

I need to start improving my coin sleights fast....


(I avoided the gag though :P)

Did you hear about the pirate's parrot that fell in love with a duck? The bird kept saying, "Polly wants a quacker".

OK, sorry, back to the topic..... :wink:

There's a guy down at World Magic Shop who laid his hands on a bunch of the coins used at the end of Pirates of the Caribbean (he literally has thousands of them). They're cheaply made, but look pretty nice, and he sells them for about 5p each...

Oh man, I would love to have a set of these! It just doesn't get any more cool than jagged, ancient looking coins with skulls on them! Does anyone know if pewter coins "talk" as much as silver coins.

If you really wanted some I'm sure myself or one of many on the forums could get them delivered here and then send them on to you.
