I just bought a large collection of magic and amongst the items was a half dollar with a bullet stuck through the middle. (Not the fired slug, but the entire unused bullet with cartridge.)
Any guess what that is? There weren't any instructions that would identify what you're supposed to do with it. (I haven't spent much time wiggling it, but I don't believe the bullet comes loose from the coin.)

I've had one for a very long time, and I don't recall if it even came with instructions.

I don't Think so! J.P. Used to sell them!

Now just thinking About It. I use to have one of those Tiny little Guns that Used Bang caps! so I would show a half, Switch it for the

Bullet half as I tossed it in to my hand, Close that hand so the could not see the switch yet! Reach into my pocket ditching the half and

bringing out the little gun. Toss the bullet half into the air, Fire the gun ( Bang )Catch the coin and show the Bullet trou it!

I like that idea. The weird part about this one though is the fact that it's an unfired bullet. (It's also a giant .45 round). Makes any of the logical "bullet fired through coin" tricks yay slightly off. (Unless the average American doesn't realize that the cartridge is a seperate piece that doesn't remain attached to the slug.)
