HAVE A QUESTION?

One of the most clever gimmicked coins EVER!

This is the one you saw performed on David Blaine's first TV special! And it's SO EASY! Yes, you can do this one immediately!

Push a coin into a bottle- even though the coin is bigger than the bottle neck!

Produce a quarter from a tightly rolled dollar bill!

Take a "bite" out of a coin- and instantly restore it, right before the spectator's eyes! (And if you want a more realistic bite mark in the coin, see the Bite Out Coin we offer.)

Many, many effects are possible with this coin. It's AUTOMATIC- it works by itself!

For more routines, see the Folding Coin Book and the Coin In a Bottle Secrets Revealed DVD.

This effect comes complete with the gimmicked real quarter, complete instructions and additional rubber bands. Check your package carefully for the extra rubber bands included with the trick- they are tiny! Additional rubber bands may be purchased from us.

Exclusive Tip from Monticup:
How To Replace the Rubber Band

It's going to happen. The tiny rubber band inside the coin is eventually going to break. Let me teach you the easy method I use to replace that rubber band.

Routine and Secret Revealed

If you don't want to know how this trick works- don't watch this video!

But if you do, you'll get some great ideas. See how easy this coin works!

It is strongly recommended that you carry and store this coin separately from regular money, in a pouch or a Coin Carrier (available from MagicTricks.com) so that you don't spend it by mistake.

History and Trivia

The Folding Coin was invented by Edwin Sachs in 1877.

Is it illegal to use real US coins to make magic tricks?
According to the U.S. Treasury F.A.Q., the answer is- No. It is only illegal to alter a US coin with the intention of spending it as if it were a coin of a different value.
From the website: "Section 331 of Title 18 of the United States code provides criminal penalties for anyone who 'fraudulently alters, defaces, mutilates impairs, diminishes, falsifies, scales, or lightens any of the coins coined at the Mints of the United States.' This statute means that you may be violating the law if you change the appearance of the coin and fraudulently represent it [in a monetary transaction in trade for goods or services] to be other than the altered coin that it is. As a matter of policy, the U.S. Mint does not promote coloring, plating or altering U.S. coinage: however, there are no sanctions against such activity absent fraudulent intent."
