If you live in Canada and you want to know how to read the date on a spectator's freely chosen coin from their own pocket, send me a PM and I will hook you up. This only works for Canadians, sorry! This information is so useful when bending coins. I am looking to find the originator of this effect. I'll tell you how I came about this information and what it involves.
Talk to you soon, - Dan |

Hi Dan, I don't live in Canada but go out there to visit family and friends annually. Do you think it will be worth my while to learn?

Yes, it's worth it. Because of the potential for this effect to stop working if / when they mint some new coins, I want as many people as possible to take advantage of this effect.
Thank you everyone who PM'd me, check your mailboxes and enjoy! Please try it out, and post your comments here! - Dan |

I PM'd you, too. However, why does this not work with US coins? I don't know much about US coins, and I'm just curious.

You can increase your chances to almost 100% by using the additional method of multiple coins with several spectators. If it didn't work for you, you just got unlucky. Keep looking at the coins when you come across them and you will see just how high the percentage of that particular date really is!

Thanks, Daniel. This is something I once heard of before, but forgot about until you reminded me. Another reason it's good to be Canadian.

I am looking to find the originator of this effect. Derren Brown had something like that with UK coins, though I have NO idea if he originated the effect. It's on his lecture DVD, though it is not explained. |

That's right, you can do Derren's routine with this. I just want to make sure I credit the right person who discovered the type of coin and date. Those of you who PM'd me know the back story to how I found out the type of coin and the date. I've done everything I can to track down the mysterious man - this was back in October. Nobody else was paying attention when the mysterious man revealed the type of coin and the date!

Tried this out the other day, walking from work with a couple people and one of them stopped and bent over to pickup a coin that was on the street beside the sidewalk. I asked her to focus on the date on the coin, being careful to not let me see it. I asked her some non-sequitor questions and then started revealing the date number by number, no misses. it worked wonderfully, good reaction.
Thanks Dan! |

In my ebook The Big Bumper Ebook Of Serial Number Revelations there is a bonus effect where you can divine the date of a UK banknote. Works with the £5 £10 and £20 notes.
Its totally hand off and 100% Impromptu. *Shameless Plug again!* Peace & Love Matt |

I have discovered new information regarding this effect! The new information allows you to handle a potential miss. It also uses the power of observation to note certain details that can come in very handy! The original effect does not use a loonie in case you're wondering, for that particular coin you will have to help me out in this thread!
