Scotch & Soda/Dime & Penny

Gimmicked coins can be a lot of fun. I certainly had a lot of fun with scotch and soda, as well as dime and penny. The coins look real! The only thing I didn't like is that the Centavo had the word "Copia" printed on it, which means copy. So if you show that to someone who speaks spanish, just keep in mind that the coin itself is pretty much telling them that it is not a real coin. You could go to the bank and get a real one, if you'd like. I never took it that far.

There are so many tricks you can do with either the Scotch and Soda or the Dime and Penny. If you have these, you understand why they are grouped together. You can make a coin vanish and appear anywhere you choose, have a coin apparently go through any object, or have the coin go to a selected card. With these I would suggest to get a book or DVD showing how to perform more tricks than the ones included with the coins. These are a lot of fun, and the great thing is - they are fully examinable after the trick is done, so you end completely "clean."
