Interesting In the arm through the glass. He hides his arm going through with his other hand. The other arm is behind the table. My guess. Not sure if they are half"s.

Look close...about halfway through the "arm through glass" he takes the second hand away...and it is an overhead shot so it would be obvious if his arm was behind the glass

It's quite an entertaining use of Kennedy halves. I love the sound of the Chinese accent as well. Thanks for sharing the link! |

Actually of you follow the act, there at least 5 coins total in the routine. All appear to be made of steel or have steel inserts

I like the David-Copperfield-esque dramatic music as he plunges his arm through the glass. Nice. And those do look like shiny Kennedys. I don't have the energy to do the research to tell if the clinking sound on the glass is accurate to a Kennedy on glass. Reminds me a bit of this one... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ukPkBwYP5PoCan anyone make out that coin at 0:58? :) |

Well, two weeks after the show, someone in China found out the mystery under the coins. The slowed down the video for four hundred times, and what I saw was the magician had a half dollar in his hand while two of the half dollars on the table were two plates: one obverse and one reverse. They were magnetic and one smashed onto the other when the magician slapped the table. (That's when he opened his hand and shoed the half dollar in his hand.)

Anyone here on Coin Community who is also from China, like me and understand one or more of its languages?

I live in China but don't understand much of the language, I'm learning, slowly, though!

Very impressive magic and they look like silver Kennedy halves. Not sure what their year is though. On that link, selling the halves, none look silver though. There was some similar magic on AGT last summer, about a magician pulling out a goldfish in a fish tank filled with water, by putting his hand through the glass and he pulled out the fish. That takes magic to a whole new level. |

Yep, those are magnetic "nesting coins."
The time he picks one up from the guy on the left, he nests them and already has one palmed in his other hand. And when one "disappears" it's the two halves of the nesters snapping together. :-)
The glass is a sliding pane (note the table is circular), and he was hiding the hole with his other hand. Perhaps some of the people behind him were plants who helped move the glass? :-)
However, he's quite the showman. My hat is off to him. :-)
