Arraignment by Josh Janousky & TCC Magic

The magician shows a coin and a one-dollar bill. The display is clean and fair. The portrait on the coin vanishes completely. The spectator opens the bill they have been holding the whole time, and the missing portrait is now printed directly onto it.

The secret gimmick stays completely invisible, even in plain sight. When the performance ends, everything can be handed out at once for full examination. The bill can also be left with the spectator as a unique souvenir.

The props are built for real-world performance. The included gaff coin is made with high-precision casting technology. The reeding, the color of the patina, and even the sound of the metal clinking are nearly identical to a real coin.

The shell is crafted with Artisan Coin’s exclusive technology and fits smoothly and precisely. That level of craftsmanship lets you perform with confidence, even under close scrutiny and in high-pressure conditions.

Arraignment is a complete, highly versatile system for real-world workers. The tutorial teaches several independent ways to transfer the portrait to the bill, with different skill levels and display options.

You can work with pure sleight of hand, gimmick-assisted handling, or a handling built for maximum visual impact and absolute cleanliness. The methods are modular, so you can separate and recombine them for different conditions: standing, surrounded, or performing for the camera. Each performance can take on a fresh shape.

Note
