The Coaster, a practical on-the-go accessory for coin through glass effect.

Penetration, the seamless passage of one solid object through another, ranks among magicians’ most cherished magic effects. Within the realm of Penetration effects, the Coin Through Cup, owing to its use of everyday items, has secured a special place in magicians’ hearts.

Although numerous ideas exist for this effect, concealing the gimmick within a coaster stands out as a popular solution. However, many coasters available might raise audience suspicions due to their unusual appearance, excessive sleight of hand, or the presence of peculiar bulges.

Hence, we’ve collaborated with Terry Chou to introduce an everyday carry coaster prop – The Coaster.

As shown in the trailer, this ordinary coaster can facilitate the illusion of coins penetrating through its surface and ending up in a cup. Its appearance integrates seamlessly into everyday scenarios.

In the tutorial, there are two routines included, one from Terry and one from Jay. Therefore, you can perform the Coin Through Cup effect regardless of your skill level.

Features:

• Portable and convenient
• Easy to set and perform
• Coaster can be examined
• No peculiar bulges, electronics, or mechanical structures
• Made from black walnut

Coin Requirement: Please be aware that the Coaster does not come with the coins needed. To perform the effects shown in the video, you will require either one gimmicked magnetic coin (like a magnetic half dollar) or several regular ferrous coins (coins that are attracted to magnets) (British 10 Pence coins are recommended).

If you use ordinary ferrous coins, please note that they will only stick to the suede side of The Coaster. In contrast, gimmicked magnetic coins can be attracted to both the leather and suede sides of The Coaster.
