I have been performing Jay Sankeys in a flash since it came out. Great trick. However, every once in a while the quarter will not lay flat in the hole, but rather "lean" on the side. I have taken Jays advice from his DVD to merely shake the deck to giggle the coin into place, but was wondering if anyone had another suggestions to alleviate this?
By the way I use the older version with the round holes. The newer version with the "realistic" holes made this issue worse as the edges were "jagged" I also tend to place the deck on the table and light the flash paper. thanks in advance for any suggestions! David |

I perform this daily. I've switched to nickels for that exact reason. It doesn't alter or take from the effect at all. I wouldnt be caught dead shaking anything .. that I feel takes away. I also put all the cards back in the case and melt the nickel through the whole deck (and case). A reputation maker for sure.

Using a nickel is an excellent suggestion. Thanks for sharing the idea.

I could no longer stand the quarter getting stuck and having to shake. You'll see that everything will be resolved using a nickel.

I have thought about using a nickel however, the hole would "appear" too large... at least that was my thought. Are you using the older version with the perfectly round holes, or the new version with the "realistic holes"?
thanks, David |

I'm using the newer version. Nobody has ever commented on the size of the hole compared to the nickel. I have rebuttels prepared anyways. Heat expands. Of course the hole will melt a bit larger as it burns. But Ive never had to say anything. Just watch their jaws hit the table and enjoy the confidence of knowing a quarter will never be half in half out again.
