This is a gem of a gaff along with a brilliant handling. I figured out the climatic move to make the final coin disappear, however I was stumped on the reveal. Now that I'm in the know, I'm still scratching my head as to just how clever this is! Yes, you will fool other magicians and most importantly you will amaze your audience!

Hi. Thanks for your review. Can you use other coins or are you limited to quarters? I would like to use foreign coins when I travel.

So you are reviewing this just by watching the tutorial?

Just because he's in the know and bought it doesn't mean he's actually used it yet. He could be commenting based on the tutorial alone, which weakens his argument.

With all due respect to the creator, I really find the edge displays unnatural and a clue to how the gimmick works. It's a weird handling, imho, and also limits how many can actually see what's supposed to be happening. Glad some folks are getting some bang for their bucks.

jbauman I do agree with you to a point. But, I really don't see how holding the coins between the fingers gives way to the methodology. The coins are displayed in a flat position to begin the trick, which should reinforce the number of coins being used. The whole routine should last no more than a minute at the most. You've got to keep this one moving! As far as an unusual grip on the coins, I think you may be viewing this with "magicians eyes". This may seem like a strange way to grip the coins to "us" but they know they are watching a magic trick. I really don't think this will raise even the slightest suspicion..thanks for your input on this...

When I got this I was a little disapointed...actually very at $40. Thought to myself this will never work. Thinking will a spectator be able to distinguish one edge from the other. Once I started messing around with it... I found out boy was i wrong. It has gotten great reactions. This is going with me everywhere. Absolutely worth it. Will make you look like a coin wiz.
