| On library.com https://www.lybrary.com/spinning-coin-p-923191.html very good for gathering a crowd... |
|
||
| Great price for a 100-year-old classic effect. I would like to hear from street performers on this if they have tried it and what the actual audience test has been to draw a crowd. |

"A large coin is made to spin on its edge around the inside rim of a metal basin." Don't understand exactly what is happening here. Is it causing the coin to spin around the inside with centrifugal force??????? |
|

| Yes,the coin spins around the rim of the basin on its edge very fast,almost too fast to see,also,the basin can be handed off to a spectator and he can keep the coin in motion once he learns to move the basin correctly.it causes such a racket,the effect is almost hypnotizing.like nothing they've ever seen.if you're looking for something different that's ez to troup...don't wait for street performers to stumble upon this,take my word for it... |

Thank you Mr Rich :-) I have purchased this from Lybrary and getting a proper basin. |
|
||
| Chinatown, the right basin...also use a large heavy Mexican coin or the Chinese new year themed coins from chinatown... |
|
||
| Looks like a steal for that price, I imagine you could also set the basin out for tips when you've performed for the crowd you used it to gather. |

| Now you're catching on...also,on lybrary.com. look up ELEGANT SCARECROWS,a thin on ancient water tricks.THE BUNDAR BOAT is a middle eastern street running gag from the turn of the century that can be combined with the basin and add quirky appeal to your performance.you get 4 trix for the price...a steal...an act in itself... |
