Petersun Pillar of the Community Canada 1700 Posts	Posted 03/02/2012 3:28 pm Hello to all: I am a Canadian coin collector who just started to collect US circulation coins. Here's what I found: when I was reviewing the magic show in the 2010 CCTV (Chinese Central Television) Chinese New Year Festival. Here's a YouTube Video: bH0QoWtbNv0 I am sure that not all of you understand the language, but notice the coins that the magician used: is it a half dollar? Enjoy! Report this Post to the Staff

unholyroller Pillar of the Community United States 1903 Posts	Posted 03/02/2012 3:39 pm OK, I could totally follow the slight of hand with the magnetic nesting coins and the magnetic rings he had on, but the arm through the glass.....that I don't get Report this Post to the Staff
bpoc1 Rest in Peace United States 4078 Posts	Posted 03/02/2012 3:58 pm 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. Report this Post to the Staff
unholyroller Pillar of the Community United States 1903 Posts	Posted 03/02/2012 4:00 pm 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 Report this Post to the Staff

unholyroller Pillar of the Community United States 1903 Posts	Posted 03/02/2012 6:50 pm 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 Edited by unholyroller 03/02/2012 6:50 pm Report this Post to the Staff
CelticKnot Bedrock of the Community United States 12804 Posts	Posted 03/02/2012 7:07 pm 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=ukPkBwYP5Po Can anyone make out that coin at 0:58? :) Report this Post to the Staff
Petersun Pillar of the Community Canada 1700 Posts	Posted 03/02/2012 7:33 pm 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.) Report this Post to the Staff

Petersun Pillar of the Community Canada 1700 Posts	Posted 03/03/2012 6:11 pm Anyone here on Coin Community who is also from China, like me and understand one or more of its languages? Report this Post to the Staff

wquinn Pillar of the Community United States 2295 Posts	Posted 03/06/2012 09:06 am 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. Report this Post to the Staff
