Scotch & Soda (Mexican Centavo / Half Dollar)

Most likely the most popular coin trick in the world.

Requires very little and can be learned in 5 minutes. The first coin trick by everyone that ever was interested in magic. If you want to have fun, make friend and money this is the trick for you. The coins do all the work.

This trick takes its name from the countless “Scotch and Soda” bets won with it. Magician shows an American half dollar and a copper colored Mexican coin. He places the coins into a the spectator’s hand. The spectator puts his hands behind his back. With his free hand he removes the half dollar and places in on the table. He brings the closed hand, holding the copper coin forward. The magician takes a quarter and clenches it in his fist. The coins trade places and the copper coin is found in the magician’s hand and the quarter found in the spectator’s hand.

Sterling supplies a basic routine, others are possible. you receive the gimmicked coin and the Mexican Centavo…some routines may require other regular US coins that are not supplied.

Approved for the “beginner”.
