I was very disappointed with the "Ike" TUC. The gimmick is not exactly what's shown in the video.
You cannot use the gaff for extreme close-up as the gaff would then become very obvious to
spectators as to what it is. It also "talks" and requires some special handling that a beginner
might find difficult. There was only one trick in the DVD that would work exclusively with the TUC,
and everything else could also be done with less expensive gaff sets. Over-rated & over-priced!

A great idea with some tremendous possibilities. NOT a no-practice gimmick. Will require some work
to get the knack. Opens up some new lines of convincing coin magic.

This is a wonderful item, and has probably inspired more ideas in me over the last week than a lot
of apparatus has inspired ever. As an FYI, I use this in conjunction with the slippery shell with
great success. (Why 4 stars and not 5? Because it "talks". This shouldn't be a problem and I can't
imagine a way to construct it so that this problem is solved, but nonetheless, I have to be honest
in my rating and it ain't perfect)

once you know how to open it works well!
Silent opening and putting together
looks like one
coin when together
You can use instead of a shell

The most clever, useful coin gaff since the shell!
It's smooth, quiet and allows for
close-up miracles!
