Hi all,
I have a scotch and soda set with a Houdini coin - I'll post a photo when I can but I thought someone might have an idea about who makes such an item? It's a Kennedy half dollar and then a copper-colored coin with Harry on on side and what appears to be two sets of handcuffs on the other. I have to say it's far an away the best set I've ever seen. It was in a junk drawer at a magic shop in England and was given to me last year, but I'm lost as to who manufactures it. It took ten minutes of staring at the Kennedy half before we realized it MIGHT be gaffed, pulled out a bang ring, and sure enough, out popped Harry Houdini!

I always flip my coins in the air to make sure they're not gaffed. That's how I found my magnetic Kennedy half!

Andrew, It sounds like it was manufactured for a Houdini anniversary. Nice find!

Andrew, I'd be interested in seeing a picture of the coin. Sounds pretty cool.

I'll get a photo of it soon and post it - I'm in the midst of organizing all my magic cra-er-high quality items which is why it's taking me awhile.

Looks like that's the one - the back of the coin is even cooler (I'll get a photo of that one.) I can't believe it's less than 14 quid - it is SO well made. My set has a nice patina on the coin which makes it look even better.
Thanks Laurie!

You're welcome, Andrew. Please do post a photo of the back- I'd be interested in seeing it.

Here's what the Zanadu coins look like, not as nice as the ones Laurie found.

The one at Elmwood Magic does not appear to be the same set, as it does not have a Kennedy Half Dollar coin.
