Thanks for posting that magicblademan!

Split Happens is my latest DVD and like Flipped Out concentrates on effects with one particular gimmick - The Split Coin. For those of you who don't know what a split coin is it is also known as a Clone Coin (by Merlins of Wakefield) or a Supercoin (by John Kennedy). The original version was created by Johnny Wong and packaged in his effect Coin Through Bill. We have included 11 routines with the Split Coin all of which are really cool workers that have never seen before. The DVD is 2 1/2 hours long, includes a huge sleights section, as well as how to use the coin properly. Myself and DAvid Penn sit down exactly how the coin works, its properties and how you can get the most from the material on this DVD. We have even been given permission by Johnny Wong to explain his excellent coin through bill using the split coin gimmick.

As a bonus anyone that pre orders the DVD gets a free DVD of your choice including my best selling Flipped Out!

I have copies the ad copy below but if anyone has any questions just ask!

The Split Coin is one of the most under explored gimmicks in magic. It goes under several names such as Clone Coin, Super Coin and Johnny Wong's Split Coin each version being as clever as the next. On this DVD Craig Petty reveals 11 killer routines which are only possible with the Split Coin gimmick. As a special bonus Craig has been given permission to perform and explain Johnny Wong's brilliant ‘Coin Through Bill'. Join Craig Petty and master magician David Penn has they discuss the Split Coin and all its applications.



Throw Coins Across

One of the cleanest coins across routines ever! Four coins travel from hand to hand one by one until inexplicably all four coins have gone across.


Mexican Split

This is the perfect coin routine for walk around conditions. Three coins are produced and examined. They then travel from one hand to the other and finally vanish into nothing. Pure Magic!


Split Fly

Imagine producing three coins and then performing a three fly routine where each phase becomes more astounding. Well, imagine no more because Split Fly is here.


Hopping Split

Hopping Halves is a classic of magic performed by magicians worldwide. This is Craig's handling of this classic routine using the split coin gimmick. All you need is the split coin and you are good to go - no shells to worry about and an instant reset as well. As a bonus the performance includes the side splittingly funny World Magic Shop presentation.


ESimPossible 2

One of the most baffling mentalism routines you will ever see, this is a killer version of Al Koran's ‘Medallion' routine with nothing more than a Split Coin, a notepad and a shot glass.


Hanging Split

A killer Hanging Coins routine with a kicker ending that will leave your audiences speechless.


Breakthrough

This routine has been described by many top professionals as the ultimate coins through table. Three coins are shown and then one by one pushed though the table. The spectator decides where the coin penetrates and the hands are shown empty after every penetration. As a finale the three coins are pushed up through the table all at the same time.


3 Coin Flurry

3 Coins are produced, vanished into nothing and then produced again. Each phase gets stronger and stronger leading up to the kicker ending where 30 coins are produced and cascade into the spectator's hands.


Sponge

This is the ultimate transposition routine that has to be seen to be believed. It also has an ending which is as strong as a jumbo coin production. A coin and a sponge ball change places over and over again. Finally, the ball and coin are placed together and fused into a metal ball.


Bonus Effects


Printing

A slow motion production of a coin and subsequent vanish, this one is a worker. First the inside of the coin is produced followed by the outside of the coin. This is one you will use.


Johnny Wong's Coin Through Bill

The routine that started it all. A slow motion penetration of a coin through a spectator's borrowed bill. Best of all, it's really easy!

Craig

What is the quality of the coin that comes with this set?

I believe there are 3 versions of this gaff and was wondering how good looks and operates.

It seems like a nice alternative to a shell.

Craig, for those of us who already own several of the split coins, will we be able to purchase a lesser-priced DVD copy sans the extra coinage?

Thanks,

_richard

You can Purchase the DVD by itself. We offer a discount when someone purchases the coin and DVD together.

The quality of the split coin supplied, (half dollar), is excellent.

IMO The Split Coin is the best gaff of the three, certainly what I use for all my routines now. There is so much potential with this gimmick - I have put some killer magic on the Split Happens DVD but anyone with a little creativity will take what I have taught and come up with their own material as well. Some of my favourite routines can be found on Split Happens,

Craig

I found one fault with the DVD, namely, there is no tab for the sleights. So I put the DVD on my computer and found the sleights to be located right after the performance of "The Two Coin trick." I then put the DVD back on my player and got to the sleights by choosing the "Play" option and fast forwarding to the sleights. IMO that is a rather unwieldy way of getting to them.

Why weren't the sleights tabbed?

Don't know- I never did find them- Thanks for finding them!
Does anybody use their split coin? If so, has anyone ever busted you with the look of it? Of coarse with some good audience management- this can be avoided- i.e hold the coin below specs eyes so they don't get a side view of it, but I have been busted a few times just by a spec noticing the coin in the middle of the routine. Though, I really like the effects Craig does with this.

RNK

In Nightshade Craig strongly warns about not letting the spectator get a a good view of the edge of the coin. He shows how to always avoid this happening.

Looking good!
:kewl:

The problem with the Nightshade set is that they don't have to get a good look at the side of the coin to get suspicious. The inner gaff looks odd just from a top view.

Can transient coins by Roy Kueppers or casino triple split coins be used for this dvd?
