Hawaiian Punch

A mind-boggling triple prediction using a handful of change. “Hawaiian Punch” by John Bannon is deeply fooling and unbelievably easy to perform.

John Bannon is a master of proving that the difficulty level of a method has no bearing on how impactful a trick can be. With “Hawaiian Punch”, he offers a new approach to a classic mentalism principle that once again proves how a self-working and straightforward routine can be a truly astonishing experience for every audience.

“Hawaiian Punch” starts by introducing a handful of pocket change. You can bring it yourself or even borrow it from a friend. You also give out a prediction before any choices are made.

A spectator is then invited to shake up the change so all the coins are in a completely random order. Any coins that are ‘heads up” are removed. This process is repeated until just one coin remains. It's super fair and they do all the work.

You then return your attention to the prediction which reveals that you not only knew the last coin would be a quarter, but even knew what year it was minted. As a final kicker, you reveal that the prediction is written on a postcard from Hawaii and that the final remaining quarter is also a commemorative state quarter honoring the state of Hawaii.

As we mentioned earlier, “Hawaiian Punch” by John Bannon uses an old concept. As you read this description, some of you may even have a basic understanding of how the core idea might work. But, the way John has put it all together into one cohesive routine with an amazing kicker ending helps transforms this basic self-working idea into a true showstopper. The insights both he and Erik Tait share in the video instructions are worth their weight in gold.

Each “Hawaiian Punch” set come with a premium quality gimmicked coin made by Roy Kueppers, a beautiful, custom-designed postcard and online video instructions teaching you everything you need to get huge reactions during every close up magic or street magic performance.
