Stack of Pence
From Magicpedia, the free online encyclopedia for magicians by magicians.
(Redirected from Cap and Pence)
Stack of Pence also know as Cap and Pence, the Stack of Quarters and Stack of Halves. A stack of five or six coins is placed on back of the spectator's hand. The coins are covered with a cone. When tapped by the magician they penetrate the hand. Some variations add a surprise kicker where different coins (like pennies) are then found under the cover.
