The Best Kept Secret in Magic
  • Hopping Chinese Coin Set -- Morgan Dollar & Chinese Coin

        Why has no one ever thought of this before? This is the classic "Hopping Half" set, but with one of the coins having a HOLE through it! The gaff is ingenious and while it's a type of gaff that has seen use in other coin tricks, it's never been applied to the Hopping Half set. And this one single idea puts this trick over the top and makes it 100% BAFFLING!

        These special coin sets are fantastic quality and I highly recommend them...I'm using a set now myself! In addition, the large dollar size makes this classic routine a visual delight! The Chinese coin is a work of ART..... you'll love it's antique look! This set uses a replica Morgan Dollar, but they are the absolute best quality replicas available. Your audiences will NOT know the difference (well, unless you've got a serious coin collector as a spectator and you let him examine it closely!).

        The effect is classic: An American Morgan dollar and a dollar size brass Chinese coin are shown freely on both sides.  The Morgan dollar is placed in your pocket, as you ask, "What coin is left in my hand?" The spectator answers, "The Chinese coin!"  You now open your hand to show that BOTH coins are STILL in your hand! This is repeated with the Chinese coin going into your pocket, and then finally again with the Morgan dollar. For the baffling finish, you remove the Chinese coin, show both sides of it and place it into your pocket. You ask which coin remains in your hand. At this point, most spectators will say, "You still have BOTH coins!"  Now you slowly open your hand to show it completely empty!


        And remember....there is NO sleight of hand necessary to perform this routine!  If you can hold the coins, you can do the trick.  In fact, you don't even have to hold the coins! I personally prefer to have the coins next to each other on my close-up pad and cover them with a playing card.

        Take a look at this demo:


        This set works exactly like the standard Hopping Half set (it just uses larger coins).  But the fact that the Chinese coin has a hole in it is what elevates this to KILLER material!  Think about it! The coins are precision-manufactured especially for this routine and are works of art! This outfit includes all of the necessary coins and gaffs, the carry case, and link to a detailed on-line video tutorial.

        The retail price for this set is $69.95.  Order one from me for only...

This set is absolutely beautiful and would make my old buddy Pressley Guitar proud. The machine work is top notch precision and the fact that you can now do this classic trick with one coin having a HOLE in it just makes it that much better. I'm carrying this one with me all the time now. I did Hopping Half years ago, but eventually moved on. The gaffus on this set is so sneaky I'm having more fun now than I did when I was a kid 40 years ago! I give this both thumbs up, a bunch of stars, six magic wands and a Dai Vernon spinning coin. I think that's about the highest it gets! Buddy F

Best investment I've made all year...maybe in the past FEW years! You were right, the hole in the Chinese coin really does bring it to the next level. Thanks for the suggestion. Now...what else should I buy? ;o)

This definitely has an "outside the box" mechanism. It makes you say "Why didn't I think of doing this?" Once you see the secret, you will be fooled again. This takes your Hopping Half Routine to the next level. Your regular routine is the same, except now using a coin with a hole?!?!?! Definitely a game changer!!! Maybe we shouldn't talk about this one. Let's keep it low-key and not advertise it. Once this coin set becomes more known, every magician will want one... And at a sweet price!! Any beginner or advanced coin magician will be proud to own and perform this coin set. Easy to perform and creates a POW!!! This is what the C/S/B was to the 2 Copper/1 Silver back in the 1960-70's. Think of the Hopping Half on steroids!!

I am thrilled with this purchase. The set is beautiful and it is designed and crafted perfectly. It was shipped promptly and packaged perfectly. Without a doubt the best gaffed coin set I have ever owned in my 6 decades performing magic as both an amateur and professional.

Beautiful set of coins that feel as good as they look, plus the hole in the Palace coin truly takes this effect to the next level. A must have for any coin or close up magician. This is my new closer and it literally leaves people speechless.
