10
amazing routines using the ‘dynamic
coins’ gimmick.
Dynamic Coins is an great prop which has one very
well known effect - the appearing and disappearing
coin routine. The prop is a pair of brass caps which
can be shown empty, and a normal brass ring.
Inside the two brass caps are shells - false stacks of
four coins. A genuine coin of matching value is placed
on top and the five coins can be made to appear,
disappear, penetrate and move invisibly. Some newer
versions of this gimmick can be handed out for
examination. This manuscript contains effects
designed for those, but if you have one which cannot
be examined or closely viewed, just skip any
audience participation or examination
sections in the instruction.

The first 4 effects should have come with your prop. They can be
performed as separate routines, or all together as one. The next 6 routines
are all new effects.
The original effects.
1.
Appearance.
Effect - two brass caps are shown empty, and one is
placed inside a brass ring. When it is hit on a table
and lifted up again, a stack of five coins has
appeared.
Method - Set up your Dynamic Coins as to start a
trick, with the two shells (false stacks) inside the caps,
but with a genuine coin hidden as described in the
introduction.
Display both caps as empty - and the ring.
Place one cap inside the ring and tap them onto the
table. Lift up the cap to reveal the stack of coins.
2.
Penetration.
Effect - the coins are placed on top of the empty cap.
Another cap is put on top, and the coins pass through
the lower cap onto the table.
Method - Remove the ‘unloaded’ cap from the table,
as it is now actually empty. Leave the coin shell on
the table.
Take the ‘loaded’ cap (the one with a shell), and use
the ring to carry out the appearance move, but without
lifting the cap afterwards.
Carefully, so as not to show the hollow shell, lift the
pile of coins which you already had on the table, and
put them on top of the loaded cap.
Now, put the unloaded cap over the visible coins and
press it down so they vanish.
Lift up the whole thing and the coins have penetrated
the solid brass cap.
3.
Transposition.
Effect - the coins jump from cap to cap, however far
away they are.
Method - Have a shelled stack of coins visible on the
table, as well as a loaded cap and an unloaded cap,
plus the ring.
Turn both ‘empty’ caps over, one inside the ring, and
one covering the coins, but not enough to vanish
them. Pick both caps up again and slam them down,
being careful to land them in exactly the correct
positions so the change takes place.
Then, after a dramatic pause, lift both caps to reveal
the transposition of the stack.
4.
Vanish.
Effect - The coins vanish from the table under one of
the caps and the cap is still empty.
Method - Show both caps as empty, but have a
shelled stack visible on the table. Cover the stack with
the unloaded cap and press it down - not too hard
though, because people realise there’s something
dodgy going on. Lift the cap to reveal the vanish, then
show both empty again. As you hold the caps and let
their disbelief soak in, press the shells hard into the
caps with your thumb.
Hand the separate parts out for examination, but each
to a different person.
The new effects.
5.
The lost coins.
Effect - the stack of coins is placed under one cap,
and they are both moved around. The spectator is
asked to guess where the coins are and they are
always wrong.
The coins are produced from somewhere unexpected,
like a matchbox or glass.
Method - Have a genuine stack of five 10p coins
hidden somewhere, in a matchbox or a glass or mug.
Make sure they are not visible or nobody will touch
them until the end of the trick.
Use the appearance move to get a shell stack, and
then display empty caps, quite far apart so nobody
notices a difference.
Cover the coins with the unloaded cap and vanish
them without revealing the vanish.
Move both caps around as if trying to confuse the
audience.
Tell them they can keep the coins if they can tell
which cap they were under.
Lift up the one they point to. It isn’t there. Mix them
again and do the same again. It is still not there.
Oh wait - lift up both caps - the stack is gone! Direct
the spectator to where the genuine stack is and get
them to take out the coins and examine them.
6.
The 5ps to 10ps.
Effect - a stack of five 5 pence coins are placed on a
table. In one swift movement, an empty brass cap is
brought down on them and when it is lifted they are
gone, replaced by the same number of 10 pence
coins.
Method - Have a genuine stack of five 5p coins on the
table, and an unloaded cap under the table, on your
lap.
