Which one do you prefer to use the J.G. Thompson Coin or the Slotted Box? I have been having some issues with the J.G. Thompson Coin at times. Without the right amount of pressure it will not appear. The Slotted Box is much easier. The advantage with the J.G. Thompson Coin is it can be shown clean without hiding anything.

Could one not use both?

It all depends on how advanced and manipulative one want to become.

Can anyone share a resource for additional routines with the J G Thompson coin and the Jo Pro Box?
Thanks |

Speaking of the J.G. Thompson coin... does anyone know where I can purchase one ? Possibly one with a Walking Liberty ?
p.s. Although I'm pretty much a coin box novice, I also recommend Coin Box Concepts 1 and 2 |

Daytona Magic appears to carry it. Being a standard inventory Johnson Products item, however, it only comes in Kennedy half (clad).
For a supernatural chiller mixing magic (prestidigitation, legerdemain) with Magic (occultism, mysticism), check out my novel MAGIC: AN OCCULT THRILLER at http://www.amazon.com/Magic-Occult-Thriller-Reed-Hall/dp/1453874836

I've got a few old JG Thompson coins with brass backs (the ones I see at Daytona and Midwest appear to be silver in color - aluminum? steel?).
PM me if interested and I'll dig them out and send some pics. |

I'm going to try and make my own JG Thompson coin with a Kennedy. Does any one know where you can buy a brass plug to fit the half?

Good idea Rick. I hope it works out for you.

I was going through stuff from a friend's estate and found a set of 4 coins. Three are half dollar-sized brass coins which look like the bottom of the okito box, and the fourth is brass on one side and a half dollar on the other. Is the Thompson coin the one with the half/brass, and are the all brass coins part of a set or just extras? And is there a routine that uses all of the four coins?
S.E.M. (The Sun, the Moon, and the Earth) is a sun and moon routine unlike any other. Limited to 100 sets, here is the promo:

Michael,
Im no coin gaff expert, but the JG Thompson is essentially a C/S one side half dollar, the other brass. This idea is if the coin is in an Okito type box with the brass side up, it is "invisible" No idea how 3 brass slugs are used... |

The JGT coin is also magnetic if it comes from Johnson. They sold it to go with the Magna coin box(?)
