Squashed coins have been around for many years at fun fairs and tourist attractions around the world. What Ben Williams has done with ‘Squished’ is produce a set of coins that allows you to reveal playing cards in a startling manner.
Four squashed coins are supplied in the package you receive. Three have an image of a playing card pip on them and the fourth is a standard one pence piece coin. Other currencies are available. You also receive an A5 instruction booklet detailing routines and handlings with the various coins. The booklet is simply laid out with photographs illustrating various moves and methods. A few minutes playing around with these coins though and you should be able to come up with many more routines that include them.
This is an interesting concept that I will enjoy playing around with. Recommended. PS
What’s Hot: interesting gimmicked coins
What’s Not: silver coins (e.g. 10p) would probably have looked nicer
