Which do you think most laymen are more pleased with, cash or coins?

Hi Dynamike
I think it varies on the effect. e.g If it's a change I think Paper Money would go down well e.g $1 - $100, if it's a transposition in the specators hand I think coins would work better. Just my thoughts, what about you? |

I agree it depends on the effect. But cash excites laymen more to me. A lot of times they request me to turn a one dollar into an one-hundred. Extreme Burn is the money effect I get most applause for.

There are of course way more coin effects than bill effects. But I think there is a better variety of bill effects-transformations, vanishes penetrations, appearances, restorations, levitations are all straight forward with bills (most could be done with coins as well--but I think its fair to say that most coin effects consist of a vanish followed by a reappearance--with the reappearance sometimes being in the other hand or under the table, or of a different color coin, etc.) For me coin tricks start looking the same after a while. A true master of course can put together an act entirely with coins, but for most of us, one or two good tricks is all you need... On the other hand its within the reach of any intermediate magician to put an act together entirely with bills.
Finally cash has interest because you are performing with something that's valuable, while ordinary coins are no longer perceived by most as valuable, at least not here in the US. -Rob |

I think it really doesn't matter with what object you are dealing, the effect is what makes them appealed to. If you turn a 10 dollar bill into a blank piece of paper, I don't think they will be pleased. If you can produce tons of coins bare handed and sleeved up, and into their hands, they will be very pleased as well.

What material the coins or notes are made of matters sometimes.
Here in New Zealand our dollar notes $5, 10, 20, 50, 100? are made of plastic. The notes don't fold easily, springing undone. I have to store my folded notes in a thick book to make sure they don't spring undone in between busking sessions, otherwise they would make the sleeve cards bulge suspicially for viewers who are just a yard or two away from the cards.
The presentation makes the magic.
