A classic gimmicked coin- this is the one you saw performed by David Blaine on his first TV special!
 
The effect is simple- but really startling! Take a "bite" out of a real quarter. Yes, put it up to your lips and take a bite. A piece of the quarter is GONE! Then gently blow on the coin- and the quarter is instantly whole again! What??!!
 
This miracle of magic is astonishing- and astonishingly easy to do. The coin will do all the work for you- it even shows the bite mark! This trick is truly self-working. Best of all, you can repeat the trick immediately, as many times as you want. No re-setting the trick, no sleight of hand. Just incredible responses from your spectators!
 
Replacement rubber bands are available.
 
Please note: this coin will NOT fit into a bottle. If you want to do the Coin In Bottle effect, you must use the Folding Coin, a similar trick that is available from MagicTricks.com.

You'll get everything you need:
  • Bite Out coin (made from a real US quarter)
  • replacement rubber bands (about 5)
  • printed instructions
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
 
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."
