Mr. Raymond Iong isn’t just any magician; he’s a living legend over in Macau, China. Back in the day, he was one of the first to introduce a host of iconic magic props to China, which is a fancy way of saying he helped kickstart the local magic scene. We’re pretty chuffed to team up with this magic maestro to bring you Chinese Legend, one of his signature routines that he often showcases in his professional gigs (because, let’s face it, who wouldn’t want to see that?).
Chinese Legend packs a punch with a routine that’s as rich in authentic Chinese flair as it is in visual wow moments. You kick things off with a solitary sponge Chinese coin, then, like a proper magician, you magically multiply it into two. Next, both you and your spectator get to hold one sponge coin each. With a flick of your wrist (and some misdirection, of course), you teleport the sponge coin from your hand straight into their closed palm. And for the grand finale, you give those soft sponge coins a rub, and — ta-da! — they transform into two hefty, solid Chinese coins. (Talk about a plot twist!)
This set is crafted with professionals in mind, featuring high-density TCC sponge Chinese coins that are just the right mix of softness, elasticity, and that delightful hand feel. Plus, you get two 38mm Chinese coins from the Artisan Coin series, which boast an authentic antique vibe and a weight that feels like magic in your hands.
And let’s not forget the custom-designed holder that comes with it, specially made for Chinese coins. It lets you load those coins quickly and silently (no awkward clanking here). Best of all, you can reset the entire routine in a mere 10 seconds — perfect for when you’re doing back-to-back shows and need to keep the magic flowing.
