Sensation Coins is a prop that does come up every now and then on the auction sites and e-bay.
The method is cool and visual and I think wouldn’t be too hard to make at home, or a variation of the method, maybe even - dare I say - a remote control method, because God knows we need more electronics in magic!
Anyway, there’s no electronics used here, no clockwork mechanisms, pure analog magic… and yet coins visibly appear and disappear on top of a small skeletal stand.
Well worth putting inside your knowledge bank…
