The Gibson Chinese Bit - "what I consider to be the finest coin trick in magic today. The apparatus supplied has been produced by one of the best coin men in the business today - Eddie Gibson. I met Eddie about five years ago and the "Chinese Bit" was one of the first tricks I purchased from him. Since that time we have met on numerous occasions, but I have never ceased to be amazed by the precision with which each of his coins is produced." - Sylvio Dokov

Three previously examined coins are used: an American Half Dollar, an old-type English Penny and a Chinese coin. The Penny and Chinese coin are placed in the right hand and the Half Dollar in the left. Without any suspicious moves the coins are shown to have transposed, the Half Dollar appearing in the right hand and the Penny and Chinese coin in the left.

The Penny is then placed in the pocket, but it instantly returns to the hand, while the Half Dollar vanishes from the hand and appears in the pocket. The Chinese coin is placed in the pocket, the Penny in the left hand and the Half Dollar in the right. Seconds later the Half Dollar is seen resting in the left hand while the Penny is in the right hand.  

This is repeated once again but this time the Chinese coin appears next to the Penny in the right hand. The Half Dollar is then placed in the right hand and the Penny and Chinese coin in the left. Both hands are closed and instantly opened to reveal the Half Dollar in the left hand and the Penny and Chinese coin in the right.

This is repeated twice more and then the coins are handed out once again to be examined.
