I'm looking for a good gimmicked coin effect for a beginner in coin magic. I'm experienced with cards but not coins. I was thinking the bite coin or superman coin bend would be a good start.

Your experience with cards should tell you that gimmicks alone aren't nearly as effective as the combination of sleights+gimmicks, and that some gimmicks are useless if you can't use sleights to mask their existence, or ring them in/out. Coins are no different. |

If you want just one Coin Gimmick/Set to start out with,...Johnsons Hopping Half Set is a very good start.(you get a Shell,Expanded Shell and a Copper/Silver Coin all in one)Many Coin Routines use one or more of thease items.

The gimmicked set I use regularly in my restaurant work that gets good reactions, leaves you clean, can be examined in the beginning and the end, and doesn't require a reset is C/S/B. Copper, Silver, Brass transposition. I have a Johnson set.
Scotch and Soda is a good trick, if you don't have to consider a reset. I've scared people with this trick. Ha! Hopping Halves, as mentioned, is good too.

Welcome to the Magic Caf'e.
The Hopping Half is a great Suggestion & Scotch Soda.The Scotch & Soda you can do over 50 tricks with it. How much do you want to spend?...There is Johnny Wongs Super Triple Coin & T.U.C Utimate Coin By Tango.Both of them you can do many tricks with.Like Matrix, Coin Across & 3 Fly. You can watch all these tricks on YouTube. Paul |

Hopping Half and Bobos would be my recommendation. As mentioned above HH gives you several gaffed coins and a great routine, while Bobos will offer so much material that you can do with the HH coins. Good luck and welcome to the Café!

HOPPING HALVES. Your choice should already be made.. Out of this you can do SO many great routines. You get a regular expanded shell for literally hundreds of coin routines, as well as one of my favorite; coins across. Then with the copper half, you get an expanded copper shell, and a sun and moon in the inner shell, technically. Theres SO many things you can do with the things from the hopping halve set, it's mind boggling. With just that set, you can go a whole life time practicing different POWERFUL, routines. However, I do advise AGAINST the Johnson set. It's alright.. But Johnson's expanding process is very poor, and they use an extremely new half dollar so it's not going to match the halves you get from the bank. If you really want to make an investment that'll give you a run for your money and last a life time if you take care of it.. Get one from one of the big coin makers. Budget is a big part in this one.. Johnson isn't bad, but I couldn't stand using it. The shell stands out like a sore thumb. Maybe I just got a bad set. Who knows.. But the shell was so bad in my opinion, I just gave it to another magician.

The only coin work I find myself doing nowadays is Profile, by Garrett Thomas. It's all about showmanship. And it is very, very simple, mechanically speaking.
Weird is part of the job.
