Universal Coin Purse by Larry Becker

This was the first version of Coin Purse released by Larry Becker that he derived from El Duco’s Houdini’s Escape.

It was a great item, but Larry went on to create an even more impressive set with Lee Earle call the Becker Coin Purse Mysteries which were beautiful.

Effect: Using five new golden U.S. dollar coins, the performer purchases five $1 bills from members of the audience. Any spectator freely selects and quarter folds any one of the bills which is placed in the spring-top leather coin purse that previously held the golden coins. The purse is then held between the palms of the spectator’s hands. Without hesitation, using clairvoyance, the performer records a serial number on a drawing pad. The spectator then opens the purse and removes his freely selected bill. Unfolding the bill, the spectator calls out the serial number, one digit at a time, as the performer records it beneath the number he previously wrote on the pad. Believe it or not, BOTH NUMBERS ARE IDENTICAL.

The spring-top Coin Purse, beautifully crafted by England’s Roy Roth, is available for Just $40 plus $3.50 via priority mail. Overseas, please add $10 for airmail postage. Other killer routines fully explained.
