I agree with Kati..it's a bit :shock: :shock: ....

But I remember DB performing this few year ago...he swallowed the coin and then it came out thru his skin...no blood...no coin travelling thru skin....as I said this is "I dare you" from my non-magic friend so I would appriciate any help or pointers(PM) on how can this be done...I have a picture of a solution but I'm not 100%.....

to do this would require a lot of special effects knowledge and probably a lot of money too

Arrhhh the wonderful Criss Angel.
That is a very clever effect and it is not an easy one to re-create.
You need to be big into spfx and have a good knollege. it is not real world as it is highly impracticle.

Very clever though and it can be done live.

So all we have to do is wait for Tom to get permission to design andmarket a reusable version then?

Keith Arlen Lack produces a lot of SPFX effects.
Here is his website http://www.arlenstudio.com/

That may be the most disgusting trick I've ever seen... :shock:
And also, how about that website, have they got enough pop-ups?
