Description & Effect
Unveiling Hedex: A Modern Classic Transposition
Matthew Wright's Hedex offers a profoundly original and mind-bending reimagining of the classic Copper/Silver Transposition. This isn't just another coin trick; it's a meticulously crafted close-up routine designed to leave audiences utterly speechless. Hedex elevates the genre with an engaging narrative, truly visual magic, and a climax that defies all expectations, making it an essential addition to any discerning magician's repertoire.
The Impossible 'Heads' Switch
Imagine this: a spectator is given an Old English penny featuring the distinct portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, which they firmly hold. Meanwhile, you display a striking Kennedy Silver Dollar, clearly showing the iconic profile of JFK. With a mere flick of the wrist, the impossible occurs. The head of JFK on your silver dollar visibly morphs into the copper head of Queen Elizabeth II, while the rest of the coin remains silver. But the astonishing twist doesn't end there. Upon opening their hand, the spectator discovers that the copper penny they were clutching now bears the silver face of JFK where the Queen's once was. The 'heads' of the coins have swapped places in an incredibly unique and baffling manner, and everything can be immediately examined, leaving no doubt about the magic witnessed.

An Old English penny is given to the spectator to hold. It is fully examined and shown to clearly have a portrait of Queen Elizabeth ii on it. It is explained that this coin is very special as it was minted on the very same day JFK was assassinated. The spectator holds the coin tightly in their hand.
Next, a special edition Kennedy silver Dollar is shown and explained that it was minted 50 years to the day from Kennedys' assassination. It is shown and examined both sides and clearly shows the head of JFK printed on it.
The magician holds the Silver Dollar at fingertips and gives a quick wave of his hand. The silver Head of JFK now changes into the copper head of Queen Elizabeth ii. The rest of the coin is still silver.... Only the head has changed.
The spectator now opens their hand to show the copper coin they have been holding the entire time now has a silver JFK face on it where the Queens once was. The "Heads" of the coins have changed places coin a surprising and unique way.
Everything can now again be fully examined.
