The fourth item in Thomas’ Egyptian Series is a very perplexing penetration with exotic looking props.

5 out of 5 For more details on Willi Wessel’s unique Alan Warner collection click here. The method for this prediction is quite straight forward and not as clever as one of my favorite prediction effects from Alan called Checkmate, but the props themselves are bright, colorful and interesting and more than make up for …
One of my favorite Alan Warner effects is Mini Mental and I still think it is one of the cleanest and cleverest pieces of mentalism that Alan (or anyone else) has produced.

However, what appears to be the exact same effect and method was featured in Supreme …
The first version of this effect was released by Floyd Thayer as Coin Go c. 1926. However, as far as I can ascertain, that version was permanently attached to a palming coin rather than the gimmick provided here, which can be added and removed in an instant and works with many coins.
