Introducing Threaded, Avi's interpretation of the beloved coin magic routine "Charming Chinese Challenge" by Troy Hooser.

Meticulously designed routine addresses the original's limitations, offering clean and convincing moves with captivating audience participation. Prepare to be astonished by Threaded's unique kicker and climactic finale, which left audiences spellbound during Avi's mesmerizing live performance at the 2022 Las Vegas S.A.M Con Gala show.

Threaded has brought Avi remarkable opportunities, enabling him to deliver lectures of varying scales in over 11 countries and 17 cities. Through these experiences, he has connected with magic enthusiasts and shared his craft on a global level.

Beyond the magic itself, Avi's vision is to inspire and infuse your own ambitious journey with luck and skills. Let Threaded be your trusted companion, unlocking new realms of possibility and filling your life with the enchanting power of magic.

With the blessing of Troy Hosser himself, we successfully filmed the project in Singapore back in 2021. Threaded also marks Avi's final project with Skymember Presents before his departure. At that time, Avi didn't have a dedicated Chinese coin set linked to his work. In honor of Avi's significant contribution, we've embarked on a mission to develop the best Chinese coin set, not only for Threaded but for any coin magic routine. Shan Gui stands as our heartfelt tribute to Avi and his invaluable contributions.

What you will receive:

  • Threaded coin set: 3 x Shan Gui coins, 1 Shan Gui gaff coin, 2 pairs of ribbons in red and blue.
  • 30 minutes ONLINE MASTERCLASS.
What's Shan Gui Coin?

To us, Shan Gui is the BEST CHINESE COIN FOR MAGIC TO DATE.

Two years in research and development by the engineer Calvin Liew, Shan Gui transcends a mere coin; it is a WORK OF ART.

DESIGNED TO LOOK AND RESEMBLE AN ACTUAL COIN FROM ANCIENT CHINA, as if holding a mysterious power... and luck.

MADE FROM PURE COPPER, the coin not only has superior quality, but it also possesses... the ideal weight for everyday coin magic and fidgeting.

Our coin is PRECISION-CRAFTED USING THE TRI-FACE CNC PROCESS, involving the front, back and edges, to create an ASTONISHING DISC-SHINING EFFECT that cannot be achieved through molding or standard polishing processes.

The coin has been treated as a SOFT COIN, meaning that VERY LITTLE SOUND IS PRODUCED when coins rub against each other, but it will produce a BEAUTIFUL ECHO when you flick it.

To aid in your performance, the provided gaff is also meticulously engineered down to the finest details. This means that you no longer have to worry about anything other than your magic, giving you not only security but also the CONFIDENCE TO PERFORM - something that working professionals would undoubtedly appreciate.

With proper care, OUR COIN SET WILL ENDURE FOR YEARS TO COME. IT WILL LITERALLY OUTLAST YOU; it's AN INVESTMENT FOR A LIFETIME. If you are looking for the best Chinese coin magic or coin set, this is it.

Are you ready to take the leap of faith? If so, welcome to Threaded by Avi Yap.

The Gimmick Is Garbage! Stick With CCC! Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on November 8th, 2023
First thing first… The coins shown in the video are NOT the same coins that you receive. The coins in the video are clearly much higher quality. The coins themselves that you receive are still very nice, but the gimmick is a cheap piece of garbage to be 100% honest! For starters,, the edge of the gimmick does not even match the edges of the coins. Most importantly, within a very short while of practicing, you will find that the gimmick starts sticking just like any other cheaply made gimmick of this type. The video claims that the coins will last a lifetime, which they probably would. However, the gimmick will work properly for maybe 2 hours before you start having problems with it. If the gimmick was of much higher quality and reliable the routine itself would be doable, though a couple of the moves will take a lot of practice to perfect. The only reason I gave this 2 stars is, because this really is a superior modern advancement on the classic CCC and Avi Yap definitely makes it look like magic. Sadly, the gimmick that you receive is so unreliable that there is no way that anyone could perform this out in the real world on a regular basis without things going very wrong. I will stick with the good old dependable Charming Chinese Challenge routine and I advise you to do the same…

Good Routine, Bad Coins Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on November 10th, 2023
The routine is very good and amazing. The tutorial is very detailed and clear. I will buy the routine alone for $20.
However, the coins are in very bad quality. The edge on the hole is rough and shape, which cuts the ribbon. The ribbon cannot move smoothly along the hole.

Overall, I think this product is overpriced. The coins are bad and do not worth more then $10. I will switch to TCC Chinese coins to perform this routine.

Great routine to keep striving for perfection Report this review
Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on October 28th, 2023
This is a great routine that for the last 2 weeks Ive been trying to smoothen out with the goal of having it look as good as the trailer in due time; which is indeed possible but you gotta be prepped to put in some serious work. I've been tackling this phase by phase and I'm now getting to the beginning of part 3 and while it's no joke to do, it's a fun challenge as when you get proficient, it looks incredible in the mirror.
video teaching is outstanding with multiple angles and walk-throughs to see at speed and in slow motion. The gaff is so well made i constantly have to search for it and mistaken it for a regular coin. They're nice and heavy and easy to manipulate. The ribbons provided are the weakest link of this product, my gaff tore a ribbon up within 30 min of practice so be ready to have a nice decorative ribbon on deck should these really thin/small ribbons tatter on you. Lastly, other routines of CCC flow a bit better IMO mainly Joshua Jay's to me, but you can't beat the challenge to make this version flawless as it looks simply impossible if presentation wise it may not punch as hard, least i think so
Is a fun routine, well made gaffs, excellent teaching so it's worth it's price as long as you're willing to put in the work when you're sitting in front of the TV and wanna work on your sleights. it is possible to get that smoothness down and you'll love how it looks in your hands when you get there, good luck 👍

Buone Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on December 15th, 2023
Questa è la seconda recensione che scrivo.
È oltre 1 mese che utilizzo queste monete e mi trovo davvero bene.
La monete gaff si è rivelata meglio di altri set che ho.
Sicuramente ne prenderò un altro set di queste monete.
Sarebbe bello se producessero un set in formato mezzo dollaro.
L unica cosa che non mi piace è che è difficile produrre l eco quando la si colpisce,mentre le altre monete lo fanno .

Belle...ma... Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on November 7th, 2023
Ho varie monete cinesi, ho voluto provare questo set...e non mi è apparso così bello come la presentazione.
Rispetto ad altri set, sono più piccole, più spesse e più pesanti.
Le scritte sulle monete sono taglienti ed il cordoncino si rompe facilmente.
La gaff coin, è identica come qualità a set meno costosi
Mi aspettavo di più...
Forse, devo abituarmi a questo set?
