The magician places a borrowed and signed coin in the center of a hollow wooden frame. Both sides are covered and sealed with transparent sheets, securely locked with 4 rubber bands.
The entire unit is then wrapped in a handkerchief. In an instant, the coin escapes from its shackles, appearing in another location.
Known by various names such as "Coin Escape" and "Crystal Coin Case", this effect has a rich history and is easy to perform, making it a staple in beginner's magic kits.
With an ebony wooden frame, the Coin Shackles becomes a better version suitable for gifting for beginners or long-term performances.
Note: Measurements are taken manually. There may be slight size variations that do not affect functionality
