Kungfu Coin - Bluether Magic y Raphael

Magic, this ancient and profound art, has a wide variety of forms of expression. From the delicate close-up magic to the spectacular stage performances, each one emits a unique charm. In close-up magic, magicians are good at using daily items like playing cards, coins, and Rubik's Cubes to create magical miracles that amaze the audience.

Among these, coin magic has always been famous for its strong visual manipulation sense, but it often feels difficult to master and out of reach. Many practitioners think that coin magic is too limited and hard, with relatively few practical performance routines. Precisely because of this, the emergence of various coin magic props has greatly reduced the difficulty for magicians.

As the saying goes, “Sharp tools make good work.” In the world of coin magic, these props are exactly the “tools” magicians need. From the Coin Shell invented by J.N. Hofzinser in 1847 to the Flipper Coin created by Eddy Taytelbaum and Flip Postma 70 years ago, they have become indispensable for coin magicians.

With more “tools” appearing, magicians began to pursue highly visual coin effects, such as coins instantly turning into rings. Among these, the slow penetration effect is perhaps the most baffling: when an object gradually merges into and penetrates another, it subverts any audience’s sense of physics and remains unforgettable. Luciano Chun, craftsman of Raphael Gaffs, created such a visual coin effect that even Tobias Dostal (the “god of creative magic”) and Rubi (the talented Spanish coin magician) said, “This is the f***ing coolest coin magic we’ve ever seen.”

About five years ago, inspired by Joel Givens’ works, Luciano Chun first posted a performance clip of the Kongfu Coin on Instagram. The post immediately attracted worldwide attention and inquiries. However, Luciano Chun himself felt that version wasn’t perfect and wasn’t ready for sale—it still needed big movements to cover small ones, which weakened the effect.

After five years of refinement, he optimized every aspect of the coin:

• Coin compatibility
• Impromptu performance without external objects
• Displaying the front and back before the effect
• Maintaining original coin thickness
• Handling upper and lower supports before and after the effect
• Ultra-tight fitting treatment
• Rationalizing the position and size of wire cutting

Details about the Kongfu Coin that you care about:

• Impromptu performance without external objects: Unlike other versions that require a cigarette or marker to hide the secret, the Kongfu Coin lets you simply have someone pass their finger through the coin—no external props needed.
• Displaying the front and back: Traditional finger‑through‑coin tricks hide the back of the coin. The Kongfu Coin’s split‑type secret mechanism lets you boldly show both sides. The audience can even take the penetrated coin for inspection.
• Thickness change & ultra-tight fitting treatment: Despite its split mechanism, the coin’s thickness remains identical to an original half‑dollar. The front and back surfaces are flat, with no strange protrusions, thanks to precision concave‑convex fitting.
• Rationalizing the position and size of wire cutting: After extensive testing, Luciano Chun determined that only the half‑dollar coin offers the optimal size and position for the effect.
• Choice of position: The hole is placed in the central area of the eagle’s radiation lines on the back. This alignment avoids using magnets (and any telltale clicks) and leverages the lines to mask slight misalignments under typical performance lighting.
• Choice of size: The hole diameter is designed to fit most fingers comfortably. It won’t pinch or let the finger look empty, and you can perform anywhere—no more cigarette‑through‑coin or pen‑through‑coin limitations.
• Handling upper and lower supports before and after the effect: Unlike other versions that require hiding extra coins and complex finger changes, the Kongfu Coin lets you simply show the coin, perform the penetration under the audience’s gaze, then make one support change and hand the coin out for inspection. The process is effortless and natural.
