Crazy Sam's Coin by Sam Huang and Hanson Chien

Effect

Crazy Sam's Coin creates the illusion of coins vanishing, appearing, and moving between hands. The routines make coins seem to teleport instantly. One coin can visually jump from one hand to another. Three coins can disappear at the same time. The effects happen in the performer's hands with no cover. The magic looks pure and impossible to the audience.

Full details

The Crazy Sam's Coin set includes three dollar-sized coins. These are stainless steel replicas of Morgan dollars. The set also contains two nesting shells. These shells fit over the coins. The shells have an ultra-thin design. The rim is nearly invisible. The package includes a velvet pouch for storage. Buyers receive access to a 45-minute tutorial video. The video teaches multiple routines and maintenance tips. The tutorial is in Chinese with English subtitles.

The routines taught include Insam Coin Across, The Fastest 3 Fly, and Triple Coin Vanish. These are complete coin magic routines. The coins have a high-gloss finish. They handle quietly during performance. The shells nest almost perfectly with the coins.
