ProCaps







One of the most iconic magic tricks of all time just got a major 21st century upgrade. Perform miracles with a stack of coins and a bottle cap.
The classics are the classics for a reason. But, sometimes, they need a makeover.
"Nickels to Dimes" (aka "Dynamic Coins") is one of the most popular magic tricks of all-time for good reason. It's so much more than just one of the best magic tricks for beginners. It has stood the test of time because it's:
- Fooling
- Visual
- Extremely easy
So, why don't more professional magicians perform it? Because it's also always looked like a magic prop. There was nothing organic about it. That all changes with "ProCaps" by Lloyd Barnes.
What is "ProCaps"?*
This stealthy set looks identical to a normal bottle cap. Yet, it allows you to easily vanish, produce, transform and teleport a stack of coins...right under your audience's nose. The "ProCaps" take care of all the hard work for you.
No detail was spared in manufacturing "ProCaps":
- Cross-continent research was done to make sure the color and design was a universal as possible
- intricate precision sizing allows for a one-size fits all design for both UK and US coins (10p and Quarters)—and other similar small coins
- You get two different colored caps (Red "Coca-Cola" style and Blue "Water" style)
- Even the bang ring has been re-designed to look like the safety seal around the cap on a plastic bottle
Simply put, everything about "ProCaps" looks and feels normal. This immediately amplifies the beloved close up magic effect to new heights.
"ProCaps" are super easy to use and require essentially no sleight of hand. The gimmick takes care of all the hard work for you.

"ProCaps" FAQ
Is this only for beginner magicians?
Absolutely not. "ProCaps" is built upon a time-tested, audience-proven concept that any magician can benefit from. It's easy enough for a beginner and powerful enough for a professional. It's a great magic EDC for any close up magician or street magician.
Are the caps branded?
The "ProCaps" were meticulously designed to look identical to many of the most popular bottle caps found around the world. They don't have name brand logos, but instead are designed to have a generally familiar and recognizable look that could be any number of brands. Unless you happen to perform for an avid bottle cap collector, nobody will ever suspect these are anything but a normal bottle cap.
Why does the coin stack look slightly different than one found in a traditional "Dynamic Coins" set?
To have the most realistic bottle cap possible, the coin stack had to be disguised in a special way. As such, it has a slightly wider bottom than normal. This is easily covered by moving the top coin slightly off-center as well.
Customer reviews for ProCaps
Update: I tested this on my 2 best magic testers - my kids. As expected, my 5 year old was relatively fooled, but my 8 year old, and I kid you not, instantly asked me/accused me, "are those coins all connected!?" So unless you are doing this on little kids, I don't expect you will get away with fooling many people with the extremely poorly constructed fake stack.

Jessie asks: Will this fit on a normal bottle? (Doesn't have to screw on just curious if you can look like you are taking it off a bottle)
- 1. Alan responds:It works on mine.
Kenneth asks: Million dollar question: where can I purchase an additional bang ring separately? BTW mine arrived last week! It is such a worker! I'm a full-time working pro, it fry's people!
- 1. Jim responds:The ring is not available separately. Sorry!
Johnny asks: Hi, same question as John’s above - can the cap be screwed onto a normal bottle? Thanks very much.
- 1. Peter responds:The cap is slightly smaller than a regular cap so no, at least not for the bottles I know of won’t work.
- 2. Johnny responds:Ok. Thanks very much, Pete.
John asks: It looks like the caps are threaded. Can you safely thread them onto an actual coke or water bottle either with or without the stack in place? Thinking that one might start by removing the cap from a bottle at the outset. Thanks.
- 1. Don responds:I would photocopy the lid on my copier using photo paper.Cut out and glue to a red coke cap so they both have the recycle symbol.I unscrew the regular cap and put in pocket.Finish drink.Remove trick cap and quarters.You shouldn't grab the wrong cap since the gimmick has metal it should be slightly heavier and the plastic will not be the same either.
Douglas asks: Does this come with both a Quarter stack and a 10 Pence Stack? Can either Cap be used with either stack?
- 1. Vanishing Inc. Magic responds:Yes indeed!
Robert asks: The “extra wide” bottom looks like a larger coin. I can’t imagine how moving the top coin off center could possibly hide that. Are there any photos of what that look likes and how it compensates for it because it looks pretty glaring for a spectator.
- 1. Vanishing Inc. Magic responds:To have the most realistic bottle cap possible, the coin stack had to be disguised in a special way. As such, it has a slightly wider bottom than normal. This is easily covered by moving the top coin slightly off-center as well.
