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! 鉁ㄢ湪
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 馃憤
