Interesting! This one intrigues me. I first thought this one is similar to Marvin's Magic The Energised Coin but after reading your discription a few times I think i'm wrong :)
Does it require sleight of hand or is it basically self working?

It is self working as to the coin appearing but sleight of hand to dispose of coin on disk (finger palm). The
gimmick will hold 2 coins or rings separately :D

Talking about portable holes, here is mine :)

It's actually an art piece from Ben called The first portable hole.
You can even open it to remove the hole :)

Thanks for the info Pete. Do you own Marvin's Magic Energised Coin? I think it would be possible to make up a routine with your older trick :)
Here's a demo (in French but that's not a problem because you only need to see it actually, and if you want me to translate something just le me know ;) ) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UV4iFc3wS10

By the way, that is the NEW version of Energized Coin, there was a version before that which used a large UK coin (50 p to be exact) in stead of a poker chip, and actually that previous version was a bit more devious because there was an 'extra' feature ... . Here's a clip, however you can't see the whole routine with the 'extra' feature: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XzVVDsCgGi8

By the way Rob, is that a magic trick or some novelty item? Good for a laugh for sure :lol:

You should have/make your own blog Pete: Pete's find (discovery?) of the week :) Pete shares some old forgotten magic that he found in his forbidden closet of mistery every week and shares it with us :)

No magic trick David, an art piece, of the playful kind. I have it for ages.

By the way David, on the first video you see clearly that he palms a second coin, that's a bit sloppy. He puts that coin under the chip.
The tray , I have it, it's a great prop to let that coin suddenly pop up.

Great idea for Pete to show a rare gem every week, love your treasures Pete!

I agree, but be honest, were you thinking as a magician when you saw this? ;)
