The magician asks the spectator to take a coin (this is made for use with any half dollar size coin) and place it into any one of the three available positions in this chest and close the lid followed by snapping shut the hasp. Without opening the chest (wouldn't be much of a trick if you did) the magician is able to correctly divine which position in which the coin resides.
This handsome little chest is made in the style of a hump back steamer trunk. The chest measures 3 1/8 inches wide x 1 15/16 inch high x 1 15/16 inch deep with brass strapping. Coin not supplied. Includes instructions. A signed piece.
