best bitten coins?

Postby MAGIC CHUMP » Oct 31st, '09, 21:02



cheap trick but ppl seem to like it. can anyone recommend a good quality one? the one i got off ebay for a few quid has quite a visible hairline along the bite mark and is not the cleanest of fits.

thanks

and happy halloween

Jeeez!

Cough up the $10.00 or whatever they are now days and buy yourself a standard folding coin.

I was doing this routine 30 years or more ago, it's not that big a deal and memory serving me right, it was one of several bits that could be done with such a gimmicked coin... it was included in the little booklet the pitchmen would get you to pay extra for, after you paid too much for the coin itself.

ACTING is what will make it "better"
