Chinese Bit by Eddie Gibson, Ken Brooke, Joe Riding, Sylvio Dokov
(c. 1972) (Submit Review) (Submit Update)Chinese Bit was invented and created by Eddie Gibson c. 1972 as his wonderful variation on the popular Connie Haden effect Copper, Silver, Brass and it was popularized by Ken Brooke and Joe Riding also later with a wonderful multi-phase routine by Sylvio Dokov.
Effect: Three previously examined coins are used. an American half doliar. an old type English penny and a Chinese coin. The penny and Chinese coin are placed in the right hand, the half dollar in the left. Without any suspicious moves, the coins transpose!
The penny is placed in the pockel but instantly returns to the hand. The hall-dollar vanishes from the hand and appears in the pocket. Next, the Chinese coin and the penny transpose with the remaining coin in the hand.
This is repeated, with variations, but iat the end of all this series of bewildering surprises the coins are handed out for examination again. You will be amazed at the precision with which these coins are produced.

Andy Martin –
Wow even better than Silver, Copper, Brass Transposition!
Perhaps my favorite gimmicked coin effect is the standard: Copper, Silver, Brass Transposition. I like it because it is visually easy to understand, you start clean and end clean, and there is zero reset.
When I first received Chinese Bit I was thinking it was basically the same effect, but with different coins. It turns out that you can do the exact same moves and routine, but due to the differences in the gimmick you can do a whole bunch of other sequences, because unlike the normal Silver, Copper, Brass gimmick, you can show this gimmick on both sides.
So this now is my new favorite coin set. I don’t know how many Joe Stevens has but I suggest you order one now.
Highly Recommended!
