This effect was made by the English coin craftsman Eddie Gibson and sold by Mephisto (manufacturer and dealer from Belgium, now known as Mephisto-Huis), Hank Lee and others. It should not be confused with Eddie’s more famous bolt effect called Twist Off. The method appears to be basically the same as B.I.O.N. though I think the original B.I.O.N. effect is a little stronger with the padlock.
Two effects are included and I like the first effect with the Chinese coin removal. However, I don’t care for the second effect and the card penetration as it seems easier to deduce the method. Also in the first effect it mentions covering the bolt with a handkerchief (not included) but I don’t believe it is even necessary and it is much stronger without the handkerchief of course. Let’s hope the Speed Demo comes to the same conclusion 🙂
