Stumbled on this video today on how to make a hollow penny that you can rip in half. A nice little gimmick for an awesome trick at minimal cost. I got to thinking though, once you hollow the penny, one might consider filling it with metal shavings and glue or something of that sort to make it magnetic . Perhaps one could even fashion a disposable penny shell. Lots of magical potential here. Check it out and decide for yourself.

You know that here at PhatusMagic we are always looking out for your best interests, and that even includes your game with the ladies. Thats right fellas. I am by no means an expert when it comes to women but there are two things I have learned over the years. #1 All women love to dance. Not just some, but ALL!! And #2 Chicks dig flowers!
Anyone who has ever performed magic for people will understand that its not just the illusions that captivate the audience, but rather its the entertainment that makes or breaks a performance. That being said, here is a link that will show you how to easily craft a napkin rose to break the ice with that hottie at the bar next time you get the nerve to approach a female, or for you youngsters to bust out on that cutie at lunch time. I don’t care who ya are, you could be the biggest dork in school, but whip up one of these babies for her and it will be no time at all till you have a partner for the upcoming dance. And remember what I said about women and dancing right? Enjoy fellas!
P.S. Throw in a little invisible thread, and you’ll be smoother than David Copperfield in Vegas.

This is a real simple DIY from Instructables user Blobmaster. The end result is a self made gimmick deck of cards that seem to magically vanish in the box. One could certainly embellish on this idea to craft a very high quality gimmick. Check out the tutorial video below.
