Since the Johnson Scotch & Soda sets don't come with a non-gimmicked 20 Centavo coin, where can I buy one?
Appreciate your response. |

I think the best source to get any coin you want is Ebay.
I found lots of 20 centavo coins in reasonable prices.

Great idea!
I just checked and there are several offerings. I'll just need to make sure its matches my gimmicked Centavo coin. Thanks. |

You could find a Centavo with Johnson's Silver, Copper, Brass Transposition. It should match with your gimmicked one.

I certainly wouldn't want to buy the JOhnson SCB set just for the Centavo.
Ebay has several offerings, but I have to make sure it matches both the date and the physical condition of the gimmick. Thanks |

I would imagine your local coin store (if there is one near you) would have plenty of these coins on hand. No shipping charges!

Hey Ron...
I use scotch and soda ALL the time with the centavo, and it doesn't have to be a match at all, after vanishing the gaffed centavo, I just produce the extra centavo and no one has ever asked to see it....I show it cleanly with no cover, so there is no heat on it |

There is no way anyone will be checking the date on this coin.

I got one at ebay for 99 cents plus $1 shipping.
I agree, the subject will be stunned and not check dates. As a magician, I love to watch other magicians work. I don't care how they do it, but approach the show with an open mind wanting only to see a competent performer entertain me. I am a great audience and enjoy myself rather than try to act smug and check everything. Gaff or not, the power of a talented performer is what I paid to see and enjoy. |

You can also pick up plain centavos at most online magic shops, inclusing The Magic Warehouse, click HERE to view. MW sells them for $2 each. If you buy two, you'll have a spare.
I am frankly amazed that the Johnson S&S Set doesn't include a staight centavo, but I guess everyone is trying to cut costs these days . . . SETH
