Well I want to buy the raven, and I thought that it would be a cool way to make some quarters (lol). So, is there anyway that I could shim a REAL coin, so I could use the raven on it? btw, im from usa

And also (separate question) is there a way to move straws that are inside of glasses/cups, and be able to move them out of the cup while someone is holding the cup? And being able to do this spontaneously

Thanks guys

take a small magnet from walmart and some magician wax and stick the small magnet the coin. only show the side that the magnet is NOT on. The raven will pick up the coin because the magnet in the raven will atract the one stuck on the coin.

1. Canadian coins are magnetic...you should be able to get some at a flea market that sells coins.

2. I.T. to make straws move..elastic thread loops etc
