The change of canned soda mouth sizes has made the Sinful trick by Wayne Houchin more difficult to do with a quarter as some of you probably know. The quarter has become too large to fit in a pretty big majority of can openings so Wayne proposed using a nickel for most performances, which I don't like as much because a nickel seems too small visually and generally not quite as accessible as quarters. So I've been trying different cans and have found that Monster Energy drinks have a perfect size opening for quarters (I picked up an empty monster drink off the ground and discovered this). Has anyone tried the trick on someone with a monster drink? The can is a lot taller than standard canned drinks and I haven't tested out how foamy the drink is when shaken up. I'll test out the foaminess next time I have a monster. But any general thoughts on how effective this alternative is? Handling-wise and visually for the spectator? I love Sinful, the effect and method of the trick are both so simple and impromptu but packs such a punch. It's definitely on my top 3 tricks list along with Recap by Gregory Wilson and Invisible Deck.

Thanks for the tip about the Monster drinks. I will check this out. I also used to really enjoy doing this effect but have pretty much ceased for the reason you mentioned. I also don't really like the idea of using nickels (but I guess it works). Just not as popular of a coin and less visible as already stated. I guess I could have continued to search every can made but just sort of let it go... Thanks again.

I used to do it then stopped - not because of the can size - don't know why really. Its a great trick. Thanks for the tip - I may have to start working that again.

Update... Monster drink cans are no bigger than current coke cans and do NOT take the quarter either.
