Vintage Magic Trick – Nickels to Dimes Coin Illusion

Vintage Magic Trick – Nickels to Dimes Coin Illusion

This is a classic vintage magician’s coin illusion commonly known as Nickels to Dimes. In performance, a single nickel visibly transforms into a stack of dimes, creating a direct, visual effect that plays big despite its small size. This is a time-tested trick that has been used by magicians for generations.

The prop itself is a mechanical brass coin gaff, precision-made to match the size of a U.S. nickel. Hidden inside is a stack of thin dimes that allows the transformation to happen instantly and cleanly. This is an authentic vintage piece—not a modern reproduction—making it appealing to both performers and collectors.
