"Magicians Tokens" 

written by F. William Kuethe, Jr.  is the official guidebook and reference for the 

Magic Token Society!

Magicians tokens are coins and palming disks that are made specifically for magicians.  

They have been made of many materials like copper, silver, brass, bronze, nickel, 

base metal, wood, plastic 

and even paper.

They are often stamped with the magician’s name and likeness. If they were also used for sleight of hand, they would be made with special features. T. Nelson Downs for example, were unusually thin and well-balanced for easy palming 

and manipulation.

Tokens have been produced for as long as magicians have been performing coin tricks. These were often handed out to the audience as mementos. Other were advertising pieces and souvenirs.  Many magic stores coined their own tokens to promote themselves.
