Descripción

Ghost Coin Illusion is a handcrafted wooden magic trick where a coin appears to pass straight through a solid wood post. It is a close-up coin-penetration effect, one of the oldest families in magic, rebuilt as a self-working wooden prop that needs no sleight of hand.

The effect: you slide a grooved plate holding a coin through the slotted wood box, then push the post through the middle so the plate jams against it. A moment later the coin has passed clean through the post and out the other side. The method lives in the prop, so a first-time performer can learn it in minutes and still fool a room. Load one of the four ghost coins, or a standard US quarter.

The box measures 6 by 3 by 1 inches, small enough to pack for a trip or a party, and each set includes the wood box, the coin plate, the post, four ghost coins, and an instruction sheet. Because no sleight of hand is required, it makes a strong first magic trick for kids and beginners. We can also laser engrave a name, date, or short message on the back, a nice touch when it is headed out as a stocking stuffer, party favor, birthday gift, or white elephant pick.

Handcrafted by Creative Crafthouse in our family workshop in Hudson, Florida, USA. Ships from our Hudson, FL shop.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Ghost Coin Illusion?

It is a handcrafted wooden magic trick in which a coin appears to pass straight through a solid wood post. It is a close-up coin-penetration effect, built as a self-working prop, so the magic is in the box, not in your fingers.

How does the Ghost Coin Illusion work?

You slide a grooved plate holding a coin through a slotted wood box, then push a post through the middle so the plate jams against it. A moment later the coin has passed through the post and out the other side. The exact method ships in the instruction sheet.

Do I need sleight of hand to perform it?

No. It is self-working, which means the prop does the work. A first-time performer can learn it in a few minutes, so it suits kids and beginners as well as hobby magicians who want a quick-reset close-up piece.

What is included?

A wood box, a coin plate, a post, four ghost coins, and an instruction sheet.

What coins can I use?

The four included ghost coins, or a standard US quarter, which fits the plate.

What is it made of, and why does that matter?

Solid wood, cut and finished by hand. Many coin-penetration tricks sold today are molded plastic or brass gimmicks. A wood prop feels substantial in the hand, holds up to repeat performing, and looks like an heirloom object rather than a throwaway toy.

What size is the Ghost Coin Illusion?

The box measures 6 by 3 by 1 inches, small enough to pack for a trip or a party.

Who is the Ghost Coin Illusion a good gift for?

Kids and young magicians learning a first trick, beginners who want an impressive self-working effect, and anyone who likes a well-made wooden novelty. It works as a stocking stuffer, party favor, birthday gift, or white elephant pick.

Can I personalize the Ghost Coin Illusion?

Yes. The Ghost Coin Illusion can be personalized with a custom laser engraving. Add a name, date, or short message when you order. See our laser engraving page for details and examples. For a custom logo or artwork, request a quote for custom work.

Where is the Ghost Coin Illusion made?

It is handcrafted by Creative Crafthouse in our family workshop in Hudson, Florida.

Where does the Ghost Coin Illusion ship from?

It ships from our Hudson, Florida workshop, with standard orders on their way within one business day.
