The Crated Coin by Mark StrivingsIn 2022, a single appearance on 'Penn and Teller Fool Us' created a small firestorm. Wes Iseli performed an effect using one coin that filled the entire auditorium with mystery and involved literally everyone in the audience.

In 2022, a single appearance on 'Penn and Teller Fool Us' created a small firestorm. Wes Iseli performed an effect using one coin that filled the entire auditorium with mystery and involved literally everyone in the audience. Not only did the effect impress (and FOOL) Penn and Teller, but they also added it to their Las Vegas show. Easily the highest praise possible.Here's the basic effect. The performer shows a coin, and a helper comes on stage to verify everything. He then has everyone in the audience stand. He demonstrates a basic coin toss and instructs his audience to raise their hand if they think the next toss will be heads, but to leave their hands down if they think it will be tails.
The coin is tossed. Let's say it comes up heads. Everyone who left their hand down, indicating tails, is instructed to sit down. This is repeated until just one person in the entire auditorium remains standing. It is then shown that the performer predicted exactly who that person would be ahead of time!
lseli's effect was ultimately released as an instant download, and it has spawned a handful of variations, including what you now have.
As much as I loved Wes' effect (and yes, I bought it, along with other variations), I couldn't do itin my shows.
There were two primary reasons why this wouldn't work in my shows.
First, and this is the big one, there is stage lighting when you are on stage. These lights can be blinding, and catching a tossed coin can be a genuine challenge, at least for me. The last thing I wanted to happen was to lose sight of it, have it bounce off my hand, and roll off the stage not exactly entertaining.
Second, and this is a minor issue, the audience cannot see whether the coin toss ends up heads or tails and must rely on your on-stage helper to confirm what happens. While this is not a big deal, it would be nice if the audience could confirm what happens, even from the cheap seats.
There are other issues as well, at least for me, but all of them pale in comparison to these two. If I could find a solution to just these two issues, I would be a happy performer.
Inspired by an effect from the great Gaelan Bloom, I am pleased to say that I have solved al/ of these issues in a practical and straightforward way.
Allow me to introduce you to ...
The Crated Coin
By Mark Strivings
From the moment I saw Wes perform 'Flip' on Penn and Teller Fool Us a few years ago, I loved the concept. But as I just mentioned, I quickly found that there were potential issues for me personally when it came to performing it. I investigated other versions and found many of the same issues. I couldn't help but feel like I was at an impasse.

Just What I Needed for My Home Office
Color: Black
I’ve been very happy with this office chair. It was straightforward to assemble, feels sturdy, and offers excellent support for long hours at my desk.
The adjustable lumbar support, armrests, and headrest make it easy to customize for a comfortable fit, and the mesh design helps keep the chair breathable throughout the day.
Overall, this chair is comfortable, ergonomic, and a great value for a home office setup.

OK for basic Office chair
Color: Black
Positives:Comfortable chair, decent lumbar support. Negatives: no height adjustment for seat or tilt. Handles spin to sides with the slightest touch. Will try to figure out how to securehandles in place. Period good entry level office chair, should have ordered more of an upgraded chair.

Great daily chair
Color: Black, Color: Black
This is a great chair and very comfortable. I'm hard on fabrics and the material is excellent for me. I didn't think I would like the headrest (because I've never had one), however, I enjoy it's use at times. The wheels roll very easily and the seat height is perfect. The seat is easy to keep clean. I've had this chair for 3 months with daily use and it looks brand new. I would buy this chair again.

Cheaply made but functional
Color: Black
Pros:
The headrest is highly adjustable. Even if you're tall you'll likely be able to tilt it so that you can rest your head on it while reclining.
The instructions for putting it together are easy to follow.
It's perfectly serviceable as a desk chair with no glaring defects.
The mesh material keeps your body cool and dry even when sitting in it all day.
Cons
It's obviously very lightweight and cheaply made. This does make the chair easier to move, but this doesn't really feel like a $180 chair at all. More like a $120 or even $100 chair.
The chair back is attached to the chair seat by a plastic bracket. Nearly every desk chair I've had in the past has had their back attached to the bottom with a metal bracket, and even those start to bend out of shape after a year or so. While reclining a good portion of your weight will be resting on this plastic bracket, and I simply cannot see this cheap plastic lasting for very long supporting anyone's body weight over a long period of time. If you buy this chair, make sure to get the warranty.
The armrests are closer together than on most chairs, which creates a claustrophobic feeling of being squeezed by them. You get used to it eventually, and you can just put the armrests up if you want to, but a way to adjust the armrest width would have been nice.
The lumbar support doesn't really do anything at all. It only presses against my back at the most intense setting, and even then not very much.
There is no incremental recline setting. Either you are fully reclined, or sitting fully upright. Luckily the full recline setting is about perfect for me, but for a $180 chair you'd expect a bit more settings here.
