Here follows a cute idea and an insight I gained today.

I performed Karrell Fox's Washington's Wig for a friend. (Found on Coin Clasics Vol 2) She responded quite positively but added that she half expected me to reproduce the quarter - revealing a BALD George Washington! This was such an interesting "kicker," I wish I could smelt my own bald-eagle AND bald-George quarters! Maybe sand-paper or a dremel daintily handled would shear the first prez of his periwig.

I learned to listen carefully to the comments, off-handed suggestions/thoughts and impulses of a layperson. Some of their subconcious inclinations just might smack of magical routining brilliance.

How might one "sculpt" a coin down so as to alter it visually? (for entertainent purposes only of course!)

On Dan Watkins site there are links to sites which offer custom coins made...I guess you could have some made and get your telephone number printed on the back like a metal business card Dan's site is http://www.coinvanish.com I think it will be under the links section...worth check out all the site though great for coin magic!!
