Coin in can effects are great - but if they’re visual, where you throw the coin inside, then they’re usually not inspectable.

If the can is borrowed, your spectator usually can’t hold the can the entire time. The magician needs to.

If they rely on electronics, they can be temperamental - and won’t work 100% of the time.

So James Keatley set out to find my own solution - and came up with this… A practical coin in can effect that the spectator can hold, shake or look inside before the effect starts. It looks empty. It sounds empty. They’d swear to a judge it’s empty.

But with this gimmick and with minimal sleight of hand - and with them covering the opening - at any time, you can cause that coin to penetrate inside the can.
