Some magi will know the system that is employed here. However, you cannot appreciate the build
quality until you have it in your hands. I'm very impressed with this. It's simple, effective and
durable. Kudos to Nathan Kranzo and P.M. for getting this out.

This type of trick has been around a very long time. I was 1st exposed to this 50 years ago in a
more simple way. It was accomplished by a something that could be purchased at the craft store for a
dollar. Its in almost every beginners magic set. I have been using this concept for years in my
adult show. I am a big fan of the concept and its various forms.
Pros: What you get is made very
well, what I received was impressive quality. Much better than what Mr. Kranzo was using in the
video.
There are many things you can do with this, he shows some good stuff in the video.
Video is as usual good Penguin quality.
Cons: If performed incorrectly it will talk and he
address that, you have to practice a little.
I preferred a different color, I Ran a " Sharpie"
over it to match all the devices I use like this " Black", took 5 minutes.
I only gave it 4
stars because of NO DVD, I am a collector and this is my ongoing bitch gripe with all the
manufacturers. I would have paid more for the product and would have been nice to have a choice.
This is good for walk around magic. It resets instantly and you dont need a table to work off. I
will use this and I do recommend it.

I’m NOT a coin magician, but I wanted to use this as a closer for FLIP by Wes Iseli (also available
on Penguin), and I was not disappointed! At the end of the routine, I’m able to make the coin
completely vanish in the most organic way, with the perfect distraction, and I am left totally
“clean”. If you ARE a coin magician, there are certainly easier ways for you to perform similar
routines, but you will have no problem using this tool to take your routines to an even greater
level.
This is honestly one of the best gimmicks I have ever seen. The construction is top of
the line and built to last a lifetime. Even if you broke the most critical part. You can easily
replace it on Amazon for less than $10, and the design can be easily replicated (and customized)
once you know what it is.
There are some angle restrictions, and you will not want to perform
this in a quiet environment without creating a little distraction, but the potential with this is
limited only to your imagination and I know that I will find many more uses for it.
Great
tutorial and, although I wish he would have taken the time to only include performances that did not
flash the gimmick, I know that with some practice everything he taught (and more) is certainly
possible with this incredibly well-made device.
Nice packaging and an invaluable tool that’s a
great bargain for what you get. I also received EXCELLENT service from Chris at Penguin with a
question that I had about the device prior to making the purchase. Thank you for sharing this with
the magic community!

Amazing effect but angle sensitive and too risky to me.

Yes, we are all looking for the perfect coin vanishing, but I am afraid I don't think this is it.
There is definitely a lot of angles involved here, and on top of that there is some noise
to consider/manage that would also depend on how you handle it and your performance. As to the
gimmick itself, again, it is just ok, far from being great quality or high-tech.
You can
still play with it in the right settings/conditions... and that's why I think it is a solid 3 stars,
no more. High chances to end up in the drawer.
Enough said.

Very well made, but too awkward to be practical.
Better ways to vanish a coin.

Other than a quality made Pen thru dollar this is my go to effect that I use as an everyday carry.
When I get dressed I take this with me like it’s an article of jewelry or accessory. , What
Penguin has done is incorporate a very quality quiet smooth product For years I have been making
a cheaper easy to make model of this What Penguin has done is transform this into a quality quiet
smooth long lasting version that I will likely lose before it breaks ,unlike most everyday carry’s
which usually break stop working get tired of ,or get lost sooner then you wanted . . It’s pricey
for what it is ,BUT I am sure like me ,you have spent 100s on tricks you hate or never even use
after you receive it.This one you will wear every day. I will. Even say i have people see the
gimmick ,I still perform the effect, and they still don’t put it together. And it’s easy to
perfect. Buy 2.

The Ghost coin is awesome to use in street magic with short sleeves. The coin disappears without
detection.

I enjoy this and want to play around with it more but now I'm on a search for all my half dollars...
I find from doing coin magic in the past I would hold the coins up more to my chest. It's really fun
to play around with but with everything practice is the key.
