I am selling my tricks as I cannot perform shows anymore.
This is a nice bucket to use with the Misers Dream trick. I put a regular can of beans in the picture, for a sense of size.
I woud reccomend that anyone doing the misers dream do so by the slieght of hand method. This bucket can only be used with the sleight of hand method. You can find books that show how the sleight of hand method is done at the library for free, too. The thing that makes this bucket stand out is that the metal is spun like in the manner of manufacture for a bell. This means that a coin dropped into this bucket will cause the bucket to ring like a bell, and it is loud. A coin faling onto another in this bucket will not only create the "ching" sound but also magnify that "cha-ching" sound because of it's bell-like nature and the sound can truly lead one towards a sense of avarice and greed.
The load of coins held in the bucket hand even if dropped from that distance, still causes the bucket to ring loudly, causing eyes to sparkle and eyebrows to go up. Harlan Tarbell in his course in magic, gives a very nice misers dream routine- that is also great sleight of hand coin manipulation practice- that was made for this bucket. Because of the sound not as many coins need to be produces to get a sense of production because each time that bucket rings is enough to establish the illusion that many coins are being produced.
This is the Misers Dream that allows you to pluck coins from children's ears and sneeze a small cascade of coins from their noses. This is the misers dream that allows you to go into the audience and have one grasp an imaginary coin and holding their wrist after showing your hand empty guide their hand into the bucket and instruct them to drop- as that coin rings in this bucket. The one that allows you to have someone in the back throw a coin and as you watchthe arc of it's invisible flight, are able to catch it, with a resounding ring, in the bucket.
There is no need to prove the amount of coins since just shaking the bucket once or twice with its population of coins sounds as if it is full of a bounty. The "ring" of truth, that saying so called because of the sound silver coins made that differed from counterfiet in medevil times.
As an after-bit I would pour the coins into a crystal box labeled "Bank" that was loaded with spring bills saying I needed to convert this into cash. I would pop the box, the spring bills would open and I would take those out and stuff them into the bucket and elave as display, a bucket full of cash. even if the spring bills looked fake, it made a nice display.
I only accept pay-pal
