Hatching

Suppose you could take an egg (Which CAN be borrowed- though where the heck are you going to borrow an egg.) and a coin (which can be borrowed and more likely.) and have both of them marked by a spectator.

You then cause the coin to magically penetrate INSIDE the egg.

A small hole is chipped in the egg, big enough to pour out some of the egg goo, but small enough that a coin, which will be found INSIDE the egg, cannot escape. Spectator can look inside the hole and verify they see the coin AND their mark. Spectator can reach through the hole and grab the coin with tongs or tweezers and pull it out THROUGH the shell themselves AND can immediately verify that it IS the same coin they marked earlier.

No tricky sleights. Yes, there is a gimmick which you will have to create, but this takes less than 10 minutes once you have the knack, and many can be made at once and saved. You receive a manuscript giving you two versions of this effect, one totally impromptu, and another which thoroughly explains the gimmick.

All this is a nice 45 page booklet, complete with over 50 illustrational photo's.

This trick is almost exactly as described in the ads. If you've mastered the ball change, you can blow an audience away. The trick plays best in a parlor setting. The objects, an egg and quarter, aren't large enough to work from a stage.

You receive a manual with 40 pages of detailed instructions on setting up the trick and performing it. No detail is left out. This may deter the casual user but the set up is not difficult. Wate a few eggs practicing and by the end of the first dozen you will have it down. Still it takes time and care to do right. The expression of the face of the volunteer as they remove their signed qaurter from the signed egg is worth the effort. Something different that because of the imposing instructions and setup effort not everyone else will be doing. How valuable is that!
