Contents:

• Introduction: some tips on magic with jumbo coins
•  Penny-Penny Who Has the Penny?: Magician holds a penny while the spectator holds a silver dollar. Magician states he will transpose the two coins, but the spectator doesn't feel a thing. When her hand is opened, she is holding a jumbo penny
• Heads or Tails?: In the process of playing a heads or tails game, the penny grows to a large size
• Penny Thru Hand: a penny is pushed through the back of the performers hand and grows into a jumbo coin in the process

• Undercover Inflation: a penny is covered with a handkerchief and turns into a jumbo penny
• Magnified Coin: a penny is viewed through a magnifier and when the lens is taken away, the coin is now jumbo; two versions are presented
