I found a dvd for Alex Lourido's butter coin at a thrift store (nothing else good unfortunately), does anyone make a coin like his still? All I've been able to find are bite coins.

I've got several folding halves and quarters.

The issue is when they fold in half it's very visible, I know typically it's handled by covering, but a few of the techniques seem to benefit from the lack of visibility and the coins are cut without the intent to hide the seams but to be similar to a flipper.

You mean like a profile cut on the face of the coin? A bunch of manufacturers come to mind which do that. I recall Roy Keuppers specifically advertising that at one point, though I can't find mention of it on his site anymore. r are you suggesting you would prefer a straight cut - as I believe the original butter coin was?

Yeah, I was looking for a replacement for that gimmick since I didn't have one. I suspect I'll have to have one made to try it out unless I can "borrow" some bandsaw time at work to see if I even care for the gimmick.

Lots of manufacturers do - just ask whichever magic store you're buying from and they'll be able to point you in the right direction.

Will any of these 3 work for you?
