Does anyone know this effect/trick. An alternate name for it? I received it with a lot I purchased and it's definitely coin related, but cannot even find an effect anywhere. If I had the effect, I could probably figure out the method (though not 100%) from the coins.

Well, as usual, I come to the Café as a last resort, because I've searched everywhere else and you guys know this stuff the best. NOTE: Reason I don't post here first is because I don't want to ask an "easy" or "obvious" question.

Thanks for taking the time to read (and answer) my question.

Um don't know.... Ren Ken Jutsu is an anagram for 'enter us junk' though, sorry I can be no other help.

Ren Kin Jutsu (The Japanese Alchemist) is an old effect by Haruhito Hirata and put out by the Magic Touch. It is Hirata's "astounding coin effect of transmutation of metals. A silver half dollar changes to copper. A copper English penny changes to silver. The metals of the coins actually change! Finally, a half dollar placed in a spectator's hand changes to real gold!"

Adam-wish I'd have thought of that anagram! LOL

Mitch-Much appreciated! Definitely explains what I've got (the coins are as described with slight variation). I'll look around for the full effect/method/patter! You've made me once again recognize the power of this forum! Thanks
