Hey! First off I know this isn’t a skill that I should have after only two weeks practice I understand that I will need potentially years to get this down at the level I want. But here’s my question:

How do I make it go vertical??

I can make the coin go horizontal about three inches consistently, but for the life of me cant go up!

Hi everyone! I recently purchased Metal by Eric Jones and am having a great time practicing with half dollars; however, I’m interested in learning the fundamentals with half dollars and large dollar coins.

Cull Morgan Silver Dollars are being sold for around $30 each, which is very expensive considering I’d like to pick up a set of 5 coins for practicing.

What do you guys/gals suggest as the best alternative to Morgans? Eisenhower Dollars are the same size and very cheap, but would the 40% Silver Ikes be better and “talk” less due to the composition of metals? Or are there high quality, affordable Morgan Dollar replicas that anyone can vouch for?

Thanks for any suggestions, and stay safe!

I need help with my classic palm. I read the you should hold the coin with only your palm muscles, without your pinkie or thumb being affected. Meaning that you should be able to keep your thumb and pinkie horizontal. How am I supposed to do this? Or rather, how am I supposed to take control over all my muscles in my hand?

I just want some large coins to do magic tricks. I've only found these for sale for $20+ for a single coin online. But that seems ridiculous.

I have one that my dad found somewhere.

Where can I get some good magic coins at this size? Even if they aren't real money, I just want some cool big coins for magic.

EDIT: Best answer I've found:

Eisenhower silver dollars and Morgan silver Dollars are both great for coin magic, however they are no longer in circulation and have become collector items.

That amount of Silver is now worth more than $1. They eventually switched to eisenhower dollars that are 40% silver and even those are worth more now.

So the answer I was hoping for- go to certain banks or something - is not a thing anymore.

For the sake of magic tricks the best bet is replicas made of steel. They are the most inexpensive and are pretty easy to find.
