Anyone want to see a silver magic trick?...

[Btoots]

Well, I've found a lot of coins, cool relics, and junk, but never a walking half. Don't know if I can claim this either...Yes, it's part of a folding or disappearing coin trick. I knew something was up after cleaning it, as it has a very small slot cut into the edge and was cut very perfectly with totally smooth sides. Any additional info would be great to hear. Thanks for looking

I have found washers and shims made out of large cents ( and small cents and nickles). Maybe somebody was in a pinch and made this( or used the cutoffs) as an improvised fix?

I'd give you half credit for that lolzzzz...

I do a bit of close-up magic and have a number of 'gimmicked' coins for things like 'coin through table', 'bite through coin' and 'handkerchief/cigarette/pencil though coin' routines. They all have a construction which involves hooks inside in each part for a rubber band to be looped around so the coin automatically springs back to its complete shape when required... so I'm a bit doubtful that's what you have.
