Musketeer (butter) coin

Postby Magic Flyer » Feb 11th, '08, 00:02



I have just bought a "musketeer coin" and a "coin through bottle coin" so that I can do the "coin through table" and "coin in bottle" tricks etc. They are both really good and I am getting the hang of it. Only problem is the edge on both looks a bit odd and I am frightened that the audience will spot that. Are there any other coins which do the same sort of thing, but look better edge-on?

Many thanks

Don't worry about it. Treat it as if it's normal, and the audience won't suspect a thing. Kenton Knepper published a lot of material where 'fishy' things become invisible due to acting, silent scripting, and psychology.

So really, don't worry about it.

You'll be fine, as sleightlycrazy said treat it as normal and noone will ever have any need to suspect otherwise.

I've got a shell with a chunk missingout of one side, a little careful handing and it's never been spotted.
