This is Regow’s House of Enchantment’s version of Len Belcher’s and Harry Stanley’s “Wun Fang and His Chinese Coin” originally released by Harry Stanley c. 1954, and released in America with permission of Harry Stanley.
And what a great effect it is. The patter would need to be tweaked for modern day audiences but otherwise it has it all. Colorful props, a clever vanish with a great sucker piece and a wonderful final reappearance to really seal the deal. It is also easy to do once you have laid out the props and read the instructions.
Effect: “Far away in the ancient Chinese City of Pekin,” begins the magician, “there once lived a Chinese Dentist named ‘Wun Fang’ . . . because that’s all he had!” In this vein the performer unfolds the Laughable Story of this character who preferred to keep all his savings in the form of a GIANT GOLDEN COIN. The Coin and its adventures, form the basis of this EXCELLENT NEW TRICK.
During the routine, the Coin, which is a LARGE SHOWY PIECE (6 inches in diameter), mysteriously DISAPPEARS AND REAPPEARS, accompanied by some fine Comedy Patter. Also in the course of the action, WUN FANG HIMSELF pops up UNEXPECTEDLY, providing you with a grand SUCKER GAG, guaranteed to bring fast and furious laughter.
