I was at the Magic Castle last night and saw Bill Goodwin perform a wonderful effect where he puts a signed quarter on top of a deck of cards and it slowly melts through about 20 cards and stops at the spectator's chosen card. It was a beautiful routine and actually had people gasping. Does anyone know where to read about the method for this effect?

Sounds a lot like Sankey's "In a flash". Minus the flashpaper ofc. Or am I way off here?

"Me three" - sounds like "In a Flash", except for the "slowly melts through" part... I'd say it's more a "violently burns through the deck" effect...
He's running a special on it this week, though I find his "new and improved", "more realistic" cards to be less realistic than the old style, or the set I made myself. |

Not to get too off topic, but I too wish he could make the old style cards. The new "realistic" cards, to me don't look as good as the old.
If anyone has a source or some old decks in the old fashion, let me know please! David |

There's a new item in Magictao.co.uk that has pretty similar to what he describes. No flash paper.
He only stated "melts" so not sure if the coin left a hole on other cards or it just somehow penetrates the cards and stopped at the chosen and signed one.

Alakazam has a trick called "Break Thru" in which a signed quarter goes through the deck and drops into a glass.
Not sure if this can be adapted to stop at a chosen card! |
