Tyler Sutter: Coin Thru Nose Review
One DVD, one effect and $35 bucks. Is it gem or is it rubble? Stay tuned to find out.
Effect
Two effects are taught. Both result in a coin really coming out of your nose. One effect is that a quarter is swallowed and then a moment later pulled from your nose with a pair of forceps. Another effect is that a dime is jammed into your eye and then without using your hands, the coin appears to make its way to your nose. It eventually falls out of your nose into your hand.
Method
The effects really are that . . . ahem . . . clean, if you will. The coins really do come out of your nose. Of course, their journey form mouth (or eye) to nose is not real, but it looks real. Using the methods taught on this DVD will convince your audience that you really did cause a coin to travel through your face (under the skin) to its final destination: your nose.
You really will be shoving coins in your nose. The DVD gives multiple warnings about the risks and dangers of doing this. I would certainly agree with their warnings. This is a dangerous thing to do, but of course, that's your call. As far as the methods go, this is 100% legitimate, however, you must be 18 or older, according to the DVD, to do this.
Ad Copy Integrity
The ad copy is beyond accurate. If anything, the video trailer under sold the effect. Due to the weird special effects that were applied to the footage, there were a few moments of the routine that were obscured. Usually this is done to make the effect look better. But in this case, you don't really experience how clean it truly is. The illusion is perfect, and unfortunately the video trailer doesn't do justice to how clean it is.
Product Quality
The DVD is very well produced, and everything you need to know to do this effect was taught in extremely close up and nauseatingly graphic detail. You'll become very intimate with the inside of Tyler Sutter's left nostril, and I'm pretty sure I'm now more familiar with the inside of his mouth than his dentist is.
In addition to the two different versions of coin to nose, an extremely powerful vanish is taught by Lonnie Lyeria. This is an amazingly clean bare handed, no sleeves vanish of dime that is impossible seeming. It's used in the context of a switch in this case, but whether you do the booger coin trick or not, you'll be learning a poweful coin vanish.
Final Thoughts
This effect is totally disgusting, and I would never in a million years do it. However, that has nothing to do with the quality of this product. It is exactly what it claims to be. It looks even better than the video trailer shows. The method makes the effect seem like the real deal, not a magic trick. The question for you is whether or not you want to do an effect like this, and if it's worth $35 bucks to learn it.
Final Verdict:
4.5 Stars with a Stone Status of Gem.

Coin Thru Nose will freak you out. It will also make your audience cringe uncomfortably when they witness this routine. This bizarre trick is not for every performer, but it will stun any audience. In fact, in furtherance of full disclosure, after watching this excellent instructional DVD (twice) I decided against trying this shocking method and effect. Truth be told, I am willing to try a lot of things but prying a quarter out of my nostril with medical forceps is not one of them – and the quarter actually comes out of your nose in the end of the routine. Because of the method, the DVD starts off with a warning: “this DVD is not suitable for anyone under the age of 18…there is a potential risk of injury…buyer assumes full responsibility…for any ill effects…”
The Coin Thru Nose DVD teaches two methods; placing a marked quarter in your mouth and then removing a marked quarter with a hemostat (a long surgical instrument that looks like a scissor) from your nose and an alternate method in which the audience sees you place a signed dime in your eye (yes, your eye) and after some painful contortions, having a signed dime drop out of your nose. The effect in both is disturbing and unbelievably amazing.
The DVD production and instruction is very good, very detailed and painfully specific. It covers all questions that you could possibly have. The first handling in which the spectator seemingly swallows a marked quarter and then removes it from his nose with the hemostat is taught by Tyler Sutter (with Jeff Kaylor acting as the videographer). Anton James joins Sutter and prepares for and removes the quarter from his nose for the first time. The second handling in which the audience sees a dime (signed or unsigned) being placed in the performer’s eye and then drops out of his nostril is performed and explained by Lonnie Lyerla. Both effects are great. In fact, there is a good likelihood that your audience will not see it as a magic trick, but an inexplicably strange reality.
Dr. Jeremy Weiss was credited as the inspiration for Coin Thru Nose which is appropriate as the fundamental idea here is the exact idea that Weiss published, although the routine and patter are different. Ben Seidman is credited for iVanish and Joshua Jay is credited for his watch vanish.
The promotional video does not really demonstrate the effect and seems more like a trailer for a horror movie with bloody torture scenes in it. The ad copy is accurate when it says that the effect is “truly shocking,” but it would be more accurate if it said that the audience sees the performer swallow a coin, rather than the coin “is placed on the tongue and swallowed.” This trick is not hard to do, you just have to be willing to do it.
Despite the fact that I did not audience test this trick myself, as I always do, I give it high rating based upon my clear understanding of the method and the 100 percent guaranteed results. This is a great trick for those willing to delve into the bizarre world.
