Custom Australian penny/walking liberty Hopping Half by Johnson Products

The Hopping Half is perhaps the most popular set of gimmicked coins ever with the first ones available in the 1960s.  Easy to perform, with no palming and minimal sleight of hand. The Hopping Half is also the most versatile coin set one can buy, especially for someone coming aboard coin magic for the first time. The gaffs can be used individually for other effects as the most important gaffs make up this set.

The best mass produced hopping half was by far the Johnson version which is no longer made.

Not only is this a beautiful mint coin set, but it is a custom-made set and very rare. I have never come across another set that was made from an Australian copper penny!!!!!

Includes: one real silver walking liberty half dollar

One real silver walking liberty expanded shell

One Australian penny expanded shell

Sun and moon set: consists of a copper/silver coin showing an Australian petty on one side and walking liberty half on the other

And finally one Australian penny shell to fit over this copper silver coin, completing the sun and moon set. Everything is in mint condition. No dents or dings

The classic effect: Two coins are shown, a Half Dollar and an English Penny. One of the coins is dropped into your pocket and it immediately reappears back in your hand. The other coins is placed in your pocket and it too hops back. The effect is repeated again and finally, when the poor spectator is about to give up, you open your hand and to his astonishment everything has vanished!
