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!

Don't get me wrong I think the trick is great (and would probably be 4 stars).
However, the
style of ten pence piece used in the gimmick hasn't been minted for eleven years. Hence, the gimmick
instantly stands out. Unfortunately, this makes the trick a lot less useable in a day to day
setting.

I will have to say I love this trick. Going to take a day or two to get use to the handling. But it
is fooling.
As far as the price goes. This should not be $40. I can make this myself and
it cost me .25 cents. The gimmick is well made. You get a replacement you will have to make yourself
and you also get one made that is ready to go. Again I love the trick. Just too over priced. You get
16 minutes worth of teaching. I honestly believe it is worth half the price myself.
Keep
up the magic guys.

I you're the type of magician that doesn't think they are getting their "magic money's worth" unless
a trick contains some kind of exotic gimmick(s) chances are you will not like this. However, if you
appreciate simple, well made props, along with a very well though out routine, then you will
absolutely LOVE this! This will fool the hell out of lay people as well as your magic buddies. A bit
pricey, perhaps, but not to the point of deducting even one star.
...add to cart!

I was having serious fun within 5 minutes of watching the instructions. It is that easy. The
reactions are strong. And, I always love a well engineered coin effect.

First of all the trick is overpriced. Second it’s a boring trick to even try taking time to learn .
I purchased this because I love tricks I can carry with me and required little set up. This was
that kind of trick , but not worth the space in my pocket or wallet.

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.

This isn't a gimmick trick. It's a prop trick that requires a LOT of practice to run it smoothly.
Probably not repeatable for those with sharp eyes.

I like the effect, Paul Wilson teaches it well. The gaff is easy to carry around.
But...
why did they only send the gaff and not the 2 other quarters required? For the price of the effect,
50c worth of coins would not have killed them.
Obviously I am not in USA, but I do have a
bunch of half and silver dollars. Now I need to source some quarters and it is frustrating.
Would have been a 4 star effect if they threw in the coins or taught how to make the gaff.

Minus 1 star--price:
As stated in the tutorial, the gimmick is especially expensive to produce.
I suspect that the cost of the trick is at least as dependent on this fact as on the quality of the
effect.
Minus 1 star--unnecessary gimmick:
As shown in the demo video, the trick is
very visual and gets satisfactory audience response; however, in addition to the gaffed coin, the
trick requires some small proficiency with sleight of hand. I suspect that anyone already possessed
of such coin handling skill could achieve similarly pleasing results without the gaff.
