Hmm,...

this looks very, very similar (maybe too similar) to an old marketed effect called Blasted.

There are two versions (original and Jr.):

If this is the same method, than somebody has some explaining to do. Smile

I would like to emphasise one important side-advantage to most "coin thru glass" effects.

Since a duplicate coin is required the process can serve to switch out a gaff coin,
leaving you with one that can be handled.

Vinny's effect is included in the book "T.U.C. Appreciation" for that reason.
After using a TUC in an effect you follow with the Glass Pentetration and then use the new coin in another effect.
The gaff coin is later ditched with any suspicion of a special coin averted.

Many effect can serve the same "switch-cover" function, but the highly visual nature of a glass penetration seems ideal.

For the Atomic Glass Penetration (look my Atomic Glass Penetration Video Version 2: https://vimeo.com/54166973 ) you don't need duplicate coin, or a gaff coin.
You need only two regular coins.

??? you seem to miss the point of my post entirely. I never said you "needed" any special coin, just that this is an opportunity for a switch if desired.

Obviously, your effect uses a gimmick (as per ad) -- and it could allow for the switch of one of the coins if that was helpful to a later routine, i.e. the two coins at the end do not have to be the same as the original two.

"atomic" (or other name) does seem to be a very visual demonstration. Vinny's method accomplished the same thing without any gimmick and is free for the asking,
but does require some practice and skill. So, atomic might be a good choice and the tray usable for other things as well.

An impromptu coin through glass with no duplicate coin is Ross Bertram's "Coin in a Tumbler" One place it can be found detailed is "The Art of Close Up Magic Vol 1" by Lewis Ganson. I used to do it a lot many years ago.

I always thought this version looked the most magical for the stand up performer, but out of my price range, lol.
