Few tricks totally fool well-informed magicians. This excellent routine by Bill Spooner has taken in some of the best! In effect a half dollar vanishes and reappears in an uncanny manner time and time again. Spooner’s neatly illustrated manuscript shows you exactly how to handle the hook coin in the expert manner, which has fooled so many magicians. No less a coin expert than J.B. Bobo said, “You have done more with this gimmicked coin than anyone I know, including Bobo! It contains some important new information on the subject that should be in the hands of every coin worker. If he does not have your treatise, he is missing out on some clever stuff.” Nuff said!

Quotes from the 1974 publication release:

J. B. Bobo: "In your excellent treatise, you have done more with this gimmicked coin than anyone I know, including Bobo! It contains such important new information on the subject that it should be in the hands of every coin worker."

Appendix: bibliography of Hoo Coin references

A half dollar is clearly placed in the hand. It completely vanishes. Both hands are shown absolutely empty. The coin immediately materializes. The routining, misdirection, and psychology will fool the experts. Absolutely no tossing motions. The booklet fully describes 10 effects with a "Hoo" coin, including three routines, suggested patter, and illustrations. The most complete treatise ever published on the hook coin. Edited, illustrated, and printed by Ellison Poland (author of Wonderful Routines of Magic).
