An old trick for a new day
Nickels to Dimes is a fundamental trick to so many magicians. I remember putting on a cape from a Batman Halloween costume and performing a magic show in my living room using my newly acquired magic kit. Nickels to Dimes was my favorite effect that came in that set. It might have been the only thing that actually fooled my parents.
Today, it's harder to justify performing this classic effect. Magic has been trending away from props that only exist in the context of magic. Luckily, we teamed up with Lloyd Barnes to make Procaps, a Nickels to Dimes that looks just like a soda cap.
The organic form-factor makes it ideal to perform anywhere. The bang ring is even cleverly disguised as the plastic seal from the bottle.
Performing Procaps is the perfect way to honor magic's history, while pushing for the continued advancement of the art form. I know just seeing it brought me back to my parents' living room. I hope it transports you as well.
Procaps is available at any Murphy's Magic dealer, or you can check out with our featured dealer, McFly Magic! |
