One of the most clever trick coins ever devised! Miracles can take place right in your hands, with very little skill necessary.
 
Imagine borrowing ordinary coins and performing impossibilities with them- a magician's dream! Dozens of effects are possible, including a very easy version of the classic Coins Thru Table effect, as well as vanishes, transpositions and penetrations.
 
This precision-made U.S. quarter size coin will fit over any U.S. quarter- in fact, it is made from a real U.S. quarter. And only the edge of the coin is stretched, so there is no distortion on the face of the coin. (Coin comes with instructions for a vanishing coin effect.) Fits a regular U.S. quarter. 
 
Difference between a shim shell and an expanded shell:
The shim shell is the exact same size as a quarter, but is only a shell, so you can hide other coins underneath it. The shim is also able to stick to a magnet.

The expanded shell is a shell that is slightly larger than a quarter, and is made to fit over the quarter (thus, for example, making it look like you have two coins in your hand, and when the shell fits over the  quarter, now you only have one).

Though we usually have both "heads" and "tails" in stock, our current inventory may be limited to only "heads" or only "tails".
 
If "heads" are in stock, that is what we prefer to ship unless you specify that you want "tails". If choice is a concern, please contact us to inquire about specific availability.
 
Also, dates are limited to the stock at hand. And the back design (state design or eagle design) is limited to the stock we have on hand.

You'll get:
  • one Expanded Shell (quarter coin size)
  • printed instructions
The easy to follow printed instructions include the routine for a Vanishing Coin effect.

Coin is made from a real U.S. quarter.

You supply an ordinary U.S. quarter.



History and Trivia
 
J.N. Hofzinzer invented the Coin Shell in the mid-1800s.
 
Conrad Haden invented the Expanded Shell.
 
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."
