Bitten Coin

Effect

The magician borrows a coin from the spectator and is seen to take a bite out of the coin.

Sleights

• Palming

Preparation

Take a quarter and file one side of it down so it looks like someone has bitten a chunk of it off.

Method

Approach a spectator and ask them to borrow a quarter - you should have the gimmicked coin palmed by now.

Take the quarter from the spectator and switch the coins.

Pretend to be biting and tearing off a section of what is now your gimmicked coin and eventually tug it free of your mouth to show the spectator the bitten coin.

Advice: If you are willing to spend a little money on this, then you can buy a properly gimmicked coin that enables you to show the full coin before, bite a piece off, and then spit it back on again! Buy it now from Ellusionist.com
