Hey everyone. Can someone help me out. I lost my ring from the Scotch and Soda trick and I'm not sure how to split the coin. Can anyone suggest a way to split the coin without the ring.
Thanks.

Tango makes a bang ring for half dollar size which is sold separately, $6.00. This should be available at magic shops or online. I hope this helps.

Just search for "bang ring magic" on Google.

Of course... if you S+S is made from local Australian coinage, then go back to the source you purchased it from, it's going to harder to find a replacement for other coinage other then US half dollars.

I remember years ago someone told me to shake the coin in a glass. Never needed to do it and with today's expensive sets it would be a last resort.

Lassen posted these on his blog a few weeks ago, he said that this little plunger is a great tool to remove your stuck coins from shells. Says it it's perfect for half dollar size coins.

I would trust the plastic cup more, over the glass... Glass might dent up the [

I'm not sure what it is about these things, but every time I put one in my pocket I seem to lose it. As a previous poster pointed out, Tango makes a replacement. I also have one from Johnson and the two are pretty much indistinguishable.

I have used a plastic shot glass in a pinch without damage. I wouldn't use it on a regular basis.
