Review on "Artifact coins" by Ellusionist

But you can do the exact same thing with normal looking props and you would end up with the same if not better reactions. If I would do a one coin-routine with a 2 euro coin over here in the Netherlands, I get better reaction than if I would do it with an American half dollar because people don't recognize that over here.

Even if they can examine everything and can be sure it's just a regular coin, there will always be a subconscious suspicion when using props they have never seen before, as little as it may be.

that's true... For unfamiliar things like the Artifact coin, I guess it's better than nothing in terms of patter, if you absolutely had to use that coin. and it's a 7 dollar coin, it'd be a waste not to try it out :P
