Coin Unique by Stevens Magic

Created by: Stevens Magic

Coin Unique is a close-up coin magic trick that creates a visually stunning and impossible-seeming transformation. In the effect, a borrowed and marked coin (such as a quarter or pound coin) is placed under a glass or on a table, and with a simple gesture, it visibly changes into a different, unique coin (like a penny or half-dollar) right in the spectator's hand or through a solid surface like a table. This trick requires no sleight of hand, making it accessible for magicians of all skill levels, and it emphasizes fairness and examinability, as the coins can be borrowed and signed by the spectator. It's ideal for close-up, street, or parlor magic performances, delivering strong reactions and a sense of wonder with minimal setup.
