![]() My current obsession has been Quarter Pounder by R. The hopping halves is a great classic effect that screws with people, one of my favorites, but afterwards folks naturally want to interact with the "strange coins" and I didn't necessarily like to keep a half dollar and an english penny handy for sw*tches the US penny and quarter variant makes this a more convenient and less suspicious carry. I found a hopping halves set with a quarter and penny from Tango and let me tell you that was a tremendous find. First off was Imagination Coins by Garrett Thomas (what a game changer that was! Such a powerful routine with so little effort), then Coinfusion by Greg Wilson (a fun visual brain teaser, great mind over matter routine), I even dug up my old Ellusionist Twister quarters for a neat visual effect. It wasn't long until I rediscovered the impossible things you can do with quarter gaffs and expanded my horizons. Not long after that, I even started doing more mentalism with the pocket change, like the Common Cents Prediction by Drew Backenstoss, Max Maven's Positive Negative, Tequila Hustler by Mark Elsdon and basic Equivoques. Quarters were just such a perfect coin: easily accessible, easily recognizable, and just big and small enough. I revisited some effects I'd learned in the past, like 3/4 Across by Greg Wilson and Daniel Garcia's Micro Dissolve (easily my favorite little coin transpo). I totally was stuck on quarters after that. It's a terrific routine from his free Hiding Place project. The love affair really started with Tyler Rabbit's Modular Coins Across. So, I started prioritizing pocket change effects and fell in love with quarters in particular. I got some terrific recommendations from the community and I've also rediscovered the strength of coin magic with pocket change. I recently mentioned on another post that I've been every day carrying Exact Change by Greg Wilson and wanted to learn more pocket change effects to perform as a follow up.
