A Charming Chinese Challenge

Troy Hooser devised one of the finest effects possible with coins. What makes it so special is that it is so different from other coin tricks. No coins traveling or disappearing or going through a table: just three Chinese coins penetrating a ribbon. It combines the best elements of ring and string with some of the prettiest coin sequences in the literature.  

Based on a trick by Nathan Lane, “A Charming Chinese Challenge” is perfect for the close-up performer. Consider: 

  • No table required
  • Almost angle-proof
  • No gaffs
  • No difficult sleights
  • Plays big

In short, this is well worth your time and effort.

Includes explanation booklet, four Chinese coins and a satin ribbon.

Joshua's handling of this effect went straight into my working repertoire after seeing him perform this at Blackpool 2009. After a few weeks practice this effect has become one of my favourites combing both the elegance of magic with a strong visual aspect this effect leaves the audience overwhelmed. Beautiful magic.

Bought this elsewhere years ago but noticed they were selling it here and thought I would add an over the top review. Basically the add copy is entirely true. Not too many tricks you can say that about. I consider it one of the finest "coin" tricks ever and not terribly difficult with variations available for different skill levels. Really, really good.
