Effect:

Two coins, one is a half dollar and the other is a chinese coin with a whole right through the center. Your spectator chooses a coin, let's say they say to start with the Half Dollar... you then take the half dollar out and set it on the table. You magically wave the card over the half dollar and it instantly changes into the chinese coin. Then you show that under the wallet (included) is the half dollar! They switched places!

Another variation is to do it with just changing the Half into the Chinese coin, leaving your friend holding the chinese coin.

Why we like it:

It's super-easy to do, the special cards and special gimmicked coins will do all the work. It's also magical, because people don't see odd Chinese coins all the time, so it makes it a memorable trick. It's really visual, and make it look like you're a sleight of hand wizard, even though, let's face it, you're not!
