With nothing more than a handful of loose change, you deliver three perfect predictions—even though the audience makes every decision.
This is Hawaiian Punch by John Bannon.
You introduce (or borrow) a small pile of coins and place a prediction in full view before anything begins. The coins are mixed freely. Any coins landing heads-up are removed. The process is repeated—fair, open, and completely hands-off—until a single coin remains.
Only then is the prediction revealed.
You’ve predicted the coin, the date, and where it’s from.
And just when it feels complete, the final reveal lands: the prediction is written on a postcard from Hawaii… and the coin is a Hawaiian state quarter.
The method is rooted in a classic mentalism principle that’s deeply deceptive, yet easy to perform. The set includes a beautifully gimmicked coin crafted by Roy Kueppers and a full-color postcard that turns the ending into a moment they’ll remember.
Clear. Fair. Inescapable.
Taught in detail by John Bannon and Erik Tait, Hawaiian Punch is practical, satisfying, and nearly self-working—perfect for close-up, casual performances, or anytime you want to hit hard with an impossible prediction.
One handful of change.
One impossible outcome.
