A vanish, dressed up however you like. There are lots of ideas in this thread.

I've had this now for about 6 months and the reactions it get is really really good. The routine I go with is I give the spectator the magicians choice ( not that they know that ) and place it in their open hand .
I then tell them that Im going to try to take out the 50p, on the count of 3, but I want them to try to stop me by making a fist as quickly as possible.
I have another in fi--er p--m and as my hand comes up from underneath their hand ,it goes up the side of their hand ,when they open their hand I open mine and show them the 50p....They are simply amazed as to how I got it out of their hand,I let them look at the coin for a few seconds but then take it back.....
The gimmick is so good that I have the confidence to place it in their hand, otherwise it would be done in mine, but I don't think the reactions would be the same..

okay nearly done: i was a little torn because alakazam sell the same thing for £45, and i was thinking higher price=better quality and maybe i'd rather spend a few extra quid for something that i feel really confident with and can rely on. In the end frugality got the better of me, i went with cheaper one, and I'm very happy i did.

I know this is an old post in an old thread but I just wanted to add, I've got the alakazam version and when I opened up the packaging I initially thought they had sent me the wrong gaff so perfect looking the £2 coin was!

Sorry to revive an old thread guys! I'm new to the forum so I'm just getting use to things around here!

Its funny because last year (october 2011) I purchased the £2/50p coin from emagictricks and returned it twice due to shaking and rattling with an extremely weak gimmick!
It's weird how thier coins seemed to have improved now looking at all the rave reviews everywhere!

I settled to buying the same thing from international magic earlier this year, but now regret it as well as it is the worst coin unique I own!
Really poor quality and on top of that it doesn't look like £2 anymore because for some reason it is extremely pale now
