Get 480 VI Points for this purchase.
The Sun and Moon set is an expanded English penny shell with a double-sided half dollar / English penny insert.
There are lots of possible routines that utilize these gimmicks. The most famous of these is Albert Goshman's "The Sun and Moon" from Modern Coin Magic by J.B. Bobo.
In effect, two coins are shown - a half dollar and an English penny. The magician takes the half dollar and puts it in his pocket. When he open his hand, both coins are in his palm again. Then, he repeats the action taking the English penny and putting it in his pocket but when he opens his hand - both coins are there again. The magician repeats the action once again, and once again both coins are in his hand. Finally, he takes the English penny but when he opens the hand there aren't any coins there. The last coin has disappeared.
This version of “Sun and Moon” is quite nice. I believe all the parts are made from actual US Kennedy Fifty Cent pieces and real English Pennies. I’ve always liked this trick. I purchased a cheaply made version for my son several years ago made with obviously replicated European coins of some sort. Those were way too shiny and suspicious looking. These will definitely draw less suspicion.
