Hopping Half Help
Hey everyone, yesterday I bought a street magic kit, and when I opened the Hopping Half, a coin that was a bit loose fell out. Now the shell is stuck on the two-colored coin and I can't get it out.
I've tried what's explained in the course to fix it (twisting it to expand the shell a bit), but I can't get it out.
I don't know if anyone knows how to fix it, as I practically haven't even had a chance to use it yet. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks everyone!

Based on the photo, I think you might be able to get the tip of the smallest precision screwdriver in next to the 'V', and then slowly work your way up that side. From what I can tell in the picture, that looks like the tightest spot.
Obviously, only a precision screwdriver will fit, and it'll be a super snug fit, but you've got nothing to lose by trying. A precision screwdriver is usually about 2mm wide or a little more, and less than a millimeter thick. If you combine that with what Zeta mentioned, I think you should be able to sort it out.
Hope you have good luck with it!
Huge thanks to you both, I followed both suggestions, and I've got the shell out. Happy New Year to you all and to the whole magic club! ✨✨
First off, happy new year to everyone!
Now, about what you're asking: based on what you describe, I'm guessing the edge of your shell has been damaged, getting dented and oval-shaped. If that's the case, find the spot where it's slightly more open and try to gently pry it outwards with something thin (like a precision screwdriver). But be really careful, or you'll ruin the shell (if you haven't already!).
I hope this helps, and if the shell is beyond repair, you'll just have to get a new one.
Hey there, Happy New Year to you too. Just wanted to let you know that I don't think any screwdriver or anything will get into this. I guess the shell won't come off, and I'll have to buy another one. Thanks a lot for your help anyway 👍
