A one-in-six choice becomes a prediction engraved in steel and immortalised in enamel.

"Challenge coin is about as strong and practical as it gets. I love it so much"- Jon Armstrong

"Based on Vernon’s “Dai’s Die’ (1963), R. Paul Wilson’s new variation adds a novel prop as part of the procedure which many will enjoy carrying with them for those moments where an interactive gaming - mind control experience would be well received by their audiences."- Brad Henderson

Six cards and a single coin form a prediction that can never fail and a bet you can never lose. This has lived in R. Paul Wilson’s pocket for years, and now it can live in yours. Your audience makes a single choice, and you can prove that you knew the exact choice they would make when you show them your prediction engraved on a piece of steel and immortalised in enamel. This is Challenge Coin by R. Paul Wilson.

Here’s what happens:

You lay out six playing cards in a face-up and face-down orientation. Mix them up until you are happy, then introduce your challenge coin. A coin used to make a simple bet that has rules engraved on it so that you cannot deviate from the procedure.

You have your audience select a number from one to six and place the challenge coin on the selected card. This card is revealed to be the only red card, and then the challenge coin is turned over to reveal your prediction that they would land on the only red card.

Challenge coins have been used throughout history to bond people together, whether it's a ground of friends, family, or a military unit; the challenge coin represents a strong bond that nearly any audience can relate to. The procedure for the effect is permanently engraved on the beautifully manufactured challenge coin, so there is no doubt that everything is above board.

There are no moving parts or complicated apparatuses; it is just an incredible routine that R. Paul Wilson teaches you in careful detail. You receive the coin, the cards, and everything you need to perform this powerful effect, ready to go right out of the box. Rise to the occasion with Challenge Coin by R. Paul Wilson.

Absolutely Brilliant!

Bought this after Alex reviewed this on his Saturday show on YouTube. It's perfect for my style of performance, a small packet of cards and a coin. The tutorial is brilliant and if you follow the suggested wording while performing to your spectators this effect is absolutely mind blowing. The spectator makes all the choices and yet this effect works each and every time. I love this. Highly recommended.

Perfect for strolling

A really nice development of a classic magician's tool. The coin/medallion is very nice to handle with weight that makes it a quality item. As someone that loves a powerful packet trick without all of the misdirection of elmsley counts, false cuts etc this one is great. Everything really is decided by the spectator and by the end of it they will be tracking back and scratching their heads. I have blended this a little with my other 'audience choice' effect - LorD and it is getting some really strong results. Worth a look for sure...

As always exceptional customer service and postage!
