"This is as good as magic gets!"  -Michael Ammar

"Scotch and Soda was one of the very first tricks I performed professionally, so saying I am excited to get the Arcade coin in my hands is an understatement. The tutorial is filled with excellent routines and handlings. It was the easiest purchase I've made in a while." -Ryan Schlutz

Coins vanish, transform, and even melt through your spectator's hands. The Legendary Scotch & Soda effect has astonished millions of people worldwide because it is one of the best coin effects ever created. Now, you can perform it with a quarter, an arcade token, and incredible new routines that will thrill your audiences and make you look like a real-life pinball wizard. This is Arcade Coin by Penguin Magic.

Here’s what happens:

You show your audience an ordinary quarter and a classic arcade token and tell them that you will scam them like you used to scam the arcades in high school. They take both coins into their hand and hold them in a tight fist. You remove the arcade token from their hand, leaving them firmly holding onto the quarter. You ask them to tell you what coin remains in their hand; you’d even bet them a game of Galaga if they got it right. They say the quarter, but that’s when you remind them that this is a scam. When they open their hands, all that is there is a worthless washer. Best of all, everything is immediately examinable.

Arcade Coin is a precision locking coin set hand-made from actual currency by the professional machinists at Penguin Magic. A magician quality-controls each set to ensure that they are some of the best coin gaffs in the world. Along with the coin set, you will receive an instructional video featuring FISM winner Erik Tait, who teaches you some of his pet routines that he’s been dazzling audiences with during his actual walk-around work. Apart from the classic Scotch and Soda routine, you’ll learn to make a coin vanish from someone’s hand and re-appear underneath their watch and even learn to melt a coin through the back of an audience member’s closed fist. Put astonishment on top of the scoreboard when you perform Arcade Coin by Penguin Magic.

Arcade Coin Delivers - (almost) Report this review

I had high hopes for Arcade Coin. I always liked Scotch and Soda but was always bothered by the orientation of the assembled gaff. Hand it to a coin collector and all they have to do is turn the coin over in their hands and they know something is not right. I know, my brother collects coins and burned me on this early on.

Penguin solved that problem by making Scotch and Soda with an arcade game token and a quarter.

You get the gaffed game token, a real quarter, a washer with a hole in it, and a bang ring. It took a few minutes of looking at the token to decide which side to put into the bang ring. And... I got it wrong. So, high points for that. I thought maybe it would be a stamped shell, but no, it's a nicely machined shell. When you stack the gaff and drop it on the table, it sounds like a solid token. No tinny hollow sound. My favorite thing to do is to pull the assembled gaff out of my hand, drop it on the table, and ask what's in my hand. It sounds so good.

The only negative: the bang ring sucks! It's flexible. Sometimes the coin gets wedged in sideways when banging the coin to separate the gaff. Otherwise this would have been 5 stars.

All in all, I'm pretty happy with this purchase. I even just ordered a spare.

I have always loved scotch and soda. It was one of my first trick coins I bought. The problem with the old one is no one has seen a centavo. This fixes that problem because everyone has seen a quarter and an arcade token. Once again, Erik's teaching is top notch. He is so calm Everytime he teaches you. You will learn all three routines in a clear manner. The gimmicks do not feel cheap. I was worried about that, but after reading another review I took that chance. In the package you will find the gimmick coin, a quarter, a washer, and a piece to reset your gimmick. Resetting the gimmick couldn't be easier. No more hard surfaces, just use your hand. This is perfect for walk around. Imagine doing some table hoping, with an older set you'd have to reset the trick by banging hard on a table, this would draw attention. Not with this set, but don't be fooled because the set will still lock tight enough so no one will suspect a thing. If you love a good scotch and soda routine, bring it up to date with this trick. You'll love it.

I was a little concerned when I read about using the arcade token instead of a “real” coin. My concern is that it would “feel cheap” or hollow….. well my concerns quickly vanished, when I received it in the mail. It is very well made and will pass inspection.
It looks great, it feels great.
It is so good I bought two of them, I love the scotch and soda premise, the one flaw is that I have found is that very very few people have seen a centavo or an English penny, they just are not that common.
Excellent release!

Well made, fun to perform Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on November 27th, 2024
This is a fun to perform coin trick with a very high quality machined gaff coin. The tutorial is also very clear and easy to follow. P3 and Penguin produce high quality video tutorials and magic gimmicks, so I’m happy to see them continue that with Arcade Coin.
Great patter to this trick and it takes a classic coin trick and changes a not so common coin for something more recognizable like the arcade coin. Easy to learn, but with some practice it can be even smoother. You’ll be doing some light misdirection, patter performance, and coin handling. Fun coin trick.
I do recommend.

The fit and finish on the arcade coin is great, pairing it with the washer and quarter provides plenty of routines for any beginner to take off with. Nice to have a unique type of coin that is familiar to a crowd versus an English penny or Centavo, excited to see what other types coins will come out of the Penguin lineup in the future.

When I received the email to preorder Arcade Coin, I did not hesitate. I had a Scotch & Soda coin set a long time but eventually it fell apart. I was looking to replace it with another set or look for something entirely different. Arcade Coin was the different I have been looking for. The props are high quality and come with everything you need to perform the different ways Arcade Coin can be performed. The premise is still the same but with such a modern approach that is completely motivated, you can’t lose with buying this and adding it to your repertoire.

Additionally I was not expecting it to arrive this early as the ETA was November 4th. I was surprised and happy to see Arcade Coin in mailbox the other day. PenguinMagic does not disappoint with their fast shipping and product quality.

Finally, the tutorial is easy to understand and follow. The routines taught will definitely get you started and also cause the creative juices to start flowing.
