I cannot describe exactly how much I disagree with this comment.



Interesting, I fully agree with the first comment. But only if you are a lousy performer. For someone with a basic knowledge of magic and performance. Then I have to agree that the statement is very disagreeable. Done right nobody would even think of switching the coins.

And to go further. If you are really bad and you don't switch the coin, the same people that think you may have switched the coin..will still think you have switched the coin.

This is getting harder and less reliable to do with each passing year as more and more 10p coins are minted. over 25 million in 2010 alone. It still works, just not as much as it used to!

Damn this thread. I looked out of curiosity and after watching WPR desperately feel the need to buy the Dynamo Deck. :(

Icon has a nice method for dissuading the audience that you have switched in a coin.

If the spectator doesn't engage in the effect,
then the only thing left is the method.
