Johnson Expaned Coin Shell

Hello friends,

If you do close up and you do not yet have a Johnson Expanded Coin Shell, you are missing out on a wonder coin utility.

This is a precision engineered apparatus that is always ready to go and resets fast or instantly.

I exclusively use the Half Dollar Shell out of long term habit but it is also available in Quarter & English Penny styles.


The included routine is the Coins Through The Table (my favorite thing to do with this coin).
Classic Coins Through the Table Routine...Four Quarter Coins are covered with a shot glass. One at a time they pass through the table in the fairest possible manor!

But that is not the only effect you can do with it. You can do a Matrix Coin Assembly or a simpler Coins Across, appearing coin, multiplying coin & other penetrations.



J.B. Bob's book, The New Modern Coin Magic (available at www.ronjo.com) has a whole chapter devoted to what you can do with an Expanded Coin.

You can purchase a Half Dollar Shell in Heads or Tails or you'll get one in Heads (only) included with a the Hopping Half (a great coin set).

Hopping Half
A true classic piece of coin magic made by Johnson products. Done with a half dollar and an English Penny.

You clearly show the half dollar and English penny in your hand and then remove the English penny and place it in your pocket. Open your hand and the penny is back with the half. Now you remove the half dollar and place it in your pocket.

Open the hand and the half dollar is now back. Now you cleanly place the half on the table and show that your hand only contains the penny. The half is again placed in the pocket and again returns to the hand.

Finally you give the spectator a choice of either coin. You remove a coin from the hand and show it very cleanly and place it in your pocket. The hand is opened and the other coin has vanished. This is the Johnson model using the "expanded" half dollar gimmick rather than the "cut down" half. This enables you to use the gimmick in other half dollar effects.

Enjoy!
Pete
