It’s fairly easy to see how to construct a gimmick to achieve this effect if you have an ounce of coin magic experience . Therefore I do not see any exposure in any of the above posts . My advice would be to buy one first and then make one in your own currency if you like it enough and if you feel the need to show your family and friends . Even then it shouldn’t be a concern as if they think you use gimmicks it’s irrelevant anyway about the currency and an adequact switch and a decent story line is all that is needed and if you can’t provide those take up another hobby . It really is a simple as it gets with this one .

I bought this. Was quite surprised by the gimmick. But I watched the tutorial and it really appears quite simple to master.
The difficult must become easy, the easy beautiful and the beautiful magical.

I hear you Warren but it sounds as if you are saying that your family and friends know you use gimmicks therefore a foreign coin is most definitely likely to be one ?

As daft as it sounds the reason I've started to use the odd gimmicked coin is down to all the exposure on youtube as gimmicked coin magic is less exposed than SOH methods, you can tell that most youtube performers lack performing skills as most of their video's rely on background music rather than actual patter and don't even get me started on the terrible tutorials. |

Ok Warren I see you point now but it’s easy to make in UK currency once you have the original imho .

I have no way of making a 10p gimmick.
Is there anywhere I can buy one? |

This is another one I recently added and last weekend and today I used this at strolling gigs and I have to say the crowd loved it. I performed it for as few as two people to up to 12 - 15 people at a time. The Simplicity of this makes this so great. Now I see why Paul said he didn't want to release this 10 years ago when he created and started performing it. For me, it's that good!

I did not read the last 7 pages, but did anyone mention this looks just like something from Dusheck? I don't have Quarter Pounder. I do have something from Dusheck that will enable me to perform Quarter Pounder if I wanted.

The Dusheck coin trick using this gimmick is called "Hybrid Coin" and can be found in his book "Dusheck's Coin Magic" published in 1992 by the American Magic Company.

Got the email today from Penguin about it being back in stock but only 40 units. I saw a sentence at the end that made me laugh a bit.
"Seriously, I'm dumbstruck that nobody thought of this before. You're going to love Quarter Pounder. Acar" Meanwhile, I am dumbstruck that nobody realized that it has been "thought of" and put in print twice before. Exact same gaff, not sure about the "original take" on a past routine or even the gaff. I am not saying this was done purposely. I respect Paul Wilson and love most of the effects he puts out (including "his take" on others effects). I even really like this effect. I just think this fell short on the "lots of research" he did (according to the video). It is the very first item in Steve Dusheck's Coin Magic book (published in 1992) as "The Hybrid Coin" - and again in print in the January 2012 issue of Magic Magazine. I'm not making any accusations here, It very well could have been an "Independent discovery" type thing but I do think Mr Dusheck deserves at least a nod. Even if the routines are different at any level, the gaff is exactly the same.

That's good. Will it show up on the Penguin "My Downloads" section automatically, for those who have it already (like Melt 2 and a few others have over time)?

This has happened to Dusheck before and it would be nice to see a magician and magic creator like him better respected for all he has brought to the art. Think Steve's health is not great now and he may have little strength left to fend off those that would so simply dismiss his contributions, but it's just good to know that there are good people in the know that know better as to the right way as to such things, as to such people. I really appreciate them speaking up here and making people better aware of things, in the true tradition here of "Magicians Helping Magicians." I'm sure Steve appreciates it, and thanks so much.

Either which way, I'm glad PD thought enough to sorta "check the man behind the curtain" on this (A "Wizard of Oz" reference). 🤔 Well, at least this is a start in a better direction. Looking forward to the update you mention from R.Paul. Thanks ted.
