Coin to soda can

Postby belloz22 » Feb 13th, '07, 00:13



hi, i just brought criss angels coin to soda can, however i live in the UK, so i cannot use the same coins has him. What UK coins do you use, i find only a 5p works, but it makes the handling alot harder, any help please - thanks

Hi, I just use a 10p piece - try a few different cans out some work, some don't. I think a diet coke is probably best - just use a little pressure with it if you know what I mean.

Hi Belloz

First off, there are a number of threads on this very subject and if you use the search function at the top of the page then you'll find them in no time at all. Coin in Soda can is possibly one of the largest threads that there's been on TM so there's PLENTY of info to help you on this one.

Anyway, I personally prefer the 20p as I've not found a can that it doesn't work with whereas the 10p is too large for some.

As Mr Toucan has said, try some experimentation to see what works the best for you as we perhaps all have a slightly different handling from each other on this one.

I use either 20p or 10p, either work well depending on the can. A 10p makes the end effect much better because it doesn't fit through the ring pull.

The effect is called Sinful by Wayne Houchin and you can get it on ellusionist and many other sites too.
The Criss Angel DVd Coin in soda can is exactly the same effect

There's a clip of Dynamo doing this on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j6XbxwcSAug
And as you can see a 10p piece easily fits into a diet Coke can
