    Trick That Fooled Houdini?

    Wow, I think SOOO many people skipped right over (including myself) the ambitious card chapter of Expert Card Technique. It is said in there that it was done almost 100 years before Dai Vernon did it. Not much detail in the book though, I am really curious to find out as much more as I can.

    Gimmicked coins

    There are ways vaguely described how to make a realistic coin out of aluminum foil. I know somebody who tried it and it came out horrible lol. There is this "new" coin bend on the market now by Eric Ross that looks like what you are describing, but idk if it's a gimmick or not.

    Made a mistake

    Go to a prostitute and ask about the pain it will be while passing it ;) I hope you went to the doctor lol. And I don't mean to scare you or anything, but isn't the material used to make the American coins like copper and nickel, stuff that is poisonous? Drink a lot of WINE or BEER lol. The...

    Daniel Garcia's one handed coin vanish

    It's NOT lol. Eric and I are close friends. He told me one time that ERIC came up with the imagination production/grip, and worked with Danny on it, which later came to the decision to make a full DVD out of it, but they found out that some Japanese guy stole it from them and Danny tried to sue...

    Trick That Fooled Houdini?

    Didn't Vernon live to be like 98 or something like that? Also, it's a myth that S.W Erdnase was actually E.S Andrews, that might be why nobody knows who he really is.

    You could buy a folding coin. You can get one at www.penguinmagic.com www.tangomagic.com or any other magic shop pretty much. Search for folding coin or bite coin

    Which would be more memorable?

    Don't use 2 copper coins. It kind of defeats the purpose since they can't really tell them apart. And don't shine your copper coins either ;)

    Where can I get those half dollars

    Wow only one person got it right lol. Those were Barber halves. Kennedy halves can be found in banks. Todd Lassen is actually the best with coin gaffes.

    Need help with structure

    You could backpalm the coin. Try using the Down's method to do a full backpalm of the coin in the motion of apparently picking it up off the fingers then letting go of the index finger to have it go into pinch position and let the hand drop to the side. You could also do a regular false transfer...

    T11 Trick Submissions

    Homer Liwag isn't an artist, neither is Eric Jones. Eric told me that Dan White saw his sandwich and wanted to make it a DVD so I guess that wasn't submitted. Homer Liwag is probably T11's closest friend so I doubt he sat down and wrote them an email ;) Also, the question was how many TRICKS are...

    Trick That Fooled Houdini?

    It wasn't exactly a "mentorship", but he (and I don't remember the full story here) met somebody studying him at a library and he approached Vernon and did a pass or something like that, and then they kept meeting back and talking about sleights and tricks, and then it was said that the man...

    Trick That Fooled Houdini?

    We actually have no evidence that the one we all saw on video was the one that was performed for Houdini. In the video, he used Golden Nuggets which had to be either specially printed or split and gaffed to make the double backer since those cards are casino cards. I don't think that kind of...
