The matchbox triangle coin vanish? Pentro Penny - it's a magic shop item.

Yep, one of the very first things I ever picked up from Lou Tannen's Magic Shop near NYC's, Times Square when I was a boy. Wonderful old trick and what a nice little routine to present the props. Might have to get that old one again.
*Hey, and I enjoyed that old video...Love good magic talk about the art's progress...Thanks.

Nice presentation. It sure seems similar, but the addition of the card changes things a lot, unless I'm completely off about how the Pentro Penny works - other videos have the box connecting directly to the coin...

Yep, and that's why this is a really good little presentation of the old trick...Actually the best I've seen in all these years.
So now, what's old is somewhat a little newer again for me.

It is a completely new effect with the addition of the card. Thanks Jonathan, thanks guys! Even rarely I like gimmicks, this trick has a retro feeling that I love!

Also, taking away the element of the coin penetrating the box, bringing no focus to all that, really helps the effect and creates a better experience. It's really much better presentation this way. I like it!

Also, taking away the element of the coin penetrating the box, bringing no focus to it at all beyond as a holder for the matches, really helps the effect and creates a better, more fuller routine & experience. It's really a much better presentation that way.
Funny, I've never seen it done quite like that. Not sure about the usage of the card, as I seem to remember something like this using a card, matches??? Hmmmmm...Oh well, I like it now more than I ever did, and this video has to be 20-30 yrs old. WOW!

Oh, that's a much clearer video. I was right about how I thought it worked. Watching the original video again, I see a cut around 9:15, which was a very important moment. I'm not sure if it was intentional, but I'd missed it the first time around. Excellent use of time misdirection!

At the magic shop it was demonstrated in combination with a dime... foreshadowing the Leipzig routine ... pocket change showing the Penney is in the matchbox as you put away the triangle can be an afterthought.

Well, as the great Paul Harvey used to say, “And now we know the rest of the story.”

Thank you, Juliano for turning our eyes back toward an old gem...One that to me, as seen in the video you showed, gives the little trick a new life as an even more engaging closeup effect. Been looking for a little something like this...And who knew, it was right here all along right beneath our eyes.
If I can't track down my old one, I think I will be picking a new one up real soon, and ready myself to present it in the right closeup situations. Thanks again.

I have a version from Supreme which has a miniature Chinese idol and plastic circle replacing the matchbox and triangle. Werry is not credited.

I have really been inspired here...
I couldn't track down my old Pentro Penny, probably lost forever somewhere in all the many years gone by...So, I decided to get myself another one after all this time. I will happily display it with some other old magic tricks I used to do when I was a boy growing up in NYC. The only change to it is that whenever I present it for people now, I will do it the way the old video Juliano posted above shows it. Love the little story of the routine, and that it was not over-done to include the old impossible finale of the penny reappearing inside the matchbox. The vanish really is magical enough and just sorta leaves you wondering as to things. Great little presentation piece. This will be a good one to spring on my grandson one day, and other kids of all ages.

Anyone carrying a matchbox to perform the matchstick puzzles? (Word and number figures)
Or the Downs three match vanish trick? Or up to producing a matchbox brand car from the box? Maybe a different keep it trick with a box of different color matches and you predict the color they remove from the box ( play on name of prop- match box) Micro-magic. If you’re okay carrying matches.
