I've been a fan of coin slide magic since I got the little box-in-box-in-box-in-bag children's trick
in the 60s. I bought this hoping for something new to advance my coin slide work; there was not. The
gimmick is a portable version of the modifications made to suitcoats by magicians back in the
20-30s. Of course, the plastics available today were not available back then, so a little
advancement.
The gimmick is clumsy, but does appear to work. It might be more useful for a
ring vanish-transposition. Before I'd use it for that, I'd refine the gimmmick quite a bit.

The gimmick is clunky and not thought through to address several issues. By clunky, I mean designed
in a way that makes it non-practical, the color of the top of the gimmick is simply wrong. Due to
the material, there is a noise issue (which can actually be heard in the instructional video) and
did I mention it was clunky. I had to totally rework it and add something to reduce the noise
issue, which should have really been thought through, to begin with, in my opinion. Additionally,
there is only one bag for the coin, there should have absolutely been two, for reasons I can't
explain here. Great concept, bad execution.

Like this guy a lot and big supporter of Latin America magicians.
But this falls short, same or
better reactions with best of wallets.

When I first opened the box, I told myself. "Man this is a pile of crap'O'la"
It must have
been made by a LOONY!
Butt then I looked at it again and again. AND realized that it
wasn't that great AFTERALL!
Save yourself a lifetime of loathing and self-pity.
Save the money for another GOOOOD trick here on Pengvin!
(I'm purposefully writing "Penguin"
like a german professor!
Butt really, it's STUPID. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY. I DID!
I
guess that I was stupid once upon a time.

Haha, I don't normally wear suit coats but this will definitely be my go to for wedding invitations,
etc. Any place i need to dress fancy this will be my walk around. Easy to setup and totally
convincing. OH! And I did not have a standard wallet either. You will need one of these. I recommend
a rather large sized wallet. Wonderful quality and a very straightforward gimmick with little to no
sleights.
