This is a comedy gamblers routine. A very magical routine that convinces them you've got a killer bottom deal. Easy to do (no bottom deal needed).

Scotland's top sleight-of-hand artist gives up one of his pet routines. It looks like real magic. A copper coin changes to a silver coin and back several times.
Surprisingly there are no really difficult moves. You will need a copper and a silver coin, but the spectators only see one at any given moment. And Paul's clever handling eliminates the thought in the spectators mind that there could be two coins.
Recorded live at the Convention at the Capital 1999.
