I am looking for the inventor of the trick called "Quarter Squeeze" although I am told it is sometimes performed with nickles or dollar coins. It seems to have appeared on the magic scene around 1998. The trick is made by various manufacturers, but none of them advertise the name of the creator. Any clues?

The best way to describe it is to watch the video demo:
http://www.dudethatscoolmagic.co.uk/acat......eze.html I had never even heard of this until FunSway brought it to my attention in his newest e-Book release (called NeckLacy) where he has cleverly worked in this coin effect to a rope routine, of all things! But I want his e-Book to be complete, so I am helping him to add the credits for Quarter Squeeze, if they can be found.

That's interesting. It kinda looks like a Brema prop.

Yes, the Professor was a big help in "fleshing" out the documentation with citations and recommendations for "logical flow." With a view that many now producing Video Downloads should provide written support as well, possibly he can be of service for some consideration -- even trade, or listing your "downloadable masterpiece" on his site.

It was invented prior to 1998. I had one in aluminum and I estimate it to be from the 70s. It looks decidedly different than the one you posted the link to but it operated exactly the same. It used a half dollar to separated the upper and lower tubes and quarters then penetrated.

If I might add my 'ten penneth'. I bought a very neat version of this in Hong Kong about 1986. The effect was marketed as 'Miracle Coins' and was made to work with old Hong Kong 10c peices. The instuctions that came with the props looked as though they were produced in the 1970s.
I still use this with UK 20p pieces - a great little trick. Regards, Philip |
