Who makes a quality nickels to dimes.
"The New York Papers," Mark Twain once said,"have long known that no large question is ever really settled until I have been consulted; it is the way they feel about it, and they show it by always sending to me when they get uneasy. "

Otherwise, the shell is inserted upside down and you can see shiny side facing out (instead of the brass inside). The cup method mentioned before works, but I find an easier method is to stack two bang rings on top of each other - then you can bang it out with a little extra force as above. -JoeJoe

It is a nice trick and I am told it was developed by Walter Gibson, who is one of my favorite magic writers.

Wife and I have been together 8+ years and the first trick I showed her was nickels to dimes. I used a TT(loaded with my nickels) and borrowed her nickels placing them inside a small cloth bag. Pretending to forget to have her write down the dates of each nickel, I poured the nickels from the bag (TT) and she wrote down the dates of each nickel. When I turned the nickels into dimes, of course each dime carried the same date as her nickels. To this day she BEGS for me to tell her how I did it and I love hearing her tell the story to her friends!

It takes considerable pressure to make the cap flush with the shell and even then a little bit of the shell is still exposed most of the time. Any advice on how to loosen the fit a bit? Any lubricants ? Though I doubt that is the way to go. TIA Phil |
