In the 1950 Ireland Yearbook, p 5 we find a quick routine called Dime, Penny and Cap using the Dime and Penny gimmick.
A bottle cap is shown and laid mouth down on the table. A dime is placed on top of the bottle cap and over it is slid a penny. When a spectator picks up the penny, the dime is gone and it is discovered under the bottle cap, everything can be examined. The method is simple: use a duplicate penny in left finger palm. First table the two elements of the dime and penny gimmick and show the cap and have it examined. Now pass it to the left hand (over the penny there) to be able to call attention to the two coins on to the table that are slid forward with the first and middle fingers of the right hand. Now take the penny and table the cap for the right hand to be able to pass the penny to the left and be free to take the dime (in transit action). Place first the penny on the cap and then the dime (shell) over it as you look up asking the spectator to take up the dime. As he does he realizes that the penny has vanished; ask him to lift the cap. You have a solid through solid effect. Now this idea can be carried further: replace the cap with a sugar packet, do the effect as described and then switch the two coins for another opened dime and penny set before offering to repeat the effect: this time it seems to have failed but the penny instead of having traveled through the sugar packet has traveled inside it. The explanation for this second phase is in almost every coin magic book (Slydini's though is probably the best version).

Christian,
Sounds very much like a variation of David Roth's Fugitive Coins. Thank you. Jim |

Hey Jim you're right!
I have an old VHS Roth tape with that routine on it, but haven't seen it in forever. Looks like I was definitely subconsciously inspired by Roth again which again is another testament to his great mind for coins and teaching skills. I will say the gaff makes this much cleaner and easier....for me anyway. Thanks for pointing that out! Christian |
