This was good enough to get a back-up. I have had people say they feel the last coin appearing in
their hand!
The only reason I gave it 4 stars is the fact I had to buy a new one. Because
these are poorly made and scratch up real bad if you actually use them. For the price they should be
made a lot better.

The coins are beautifully crafted, as are the gimmick. After mastering his routine with them, I
thought it was lame...basic...and perhaps even obvious. Then I went off to my cafe to perform. I do
table-hopping magic, and usually go with 5 or 6 routines each night. Well, "knock me down with a
feather." Four Ever is a knockout. I do it exactly as instructed on the DVD, and as a mini-closer.
I do have to reset in private, but it only takes about 10 seconds. I addeda very nice pouch to hold
them; makes them have more perceived value when I remove from my pocket....Xhippee

The prop/apparatus are not high-quality, but adequate.
The routine is a beginner's guessing game
similar to a weak spongeball routine.
The value for me is that the size makes a routine
viable in a parlor setting. It also sets up a series of stories about my China travels and jokes
about the frugality of my Chinese wife.
If you have Chinese-themed bits in your act, these
coins have a place.

I very nice effect and easy to do too.
My only slight criticism is the DVD is very short and it
would have been nice to be given some other ideas for these coins. But, if like me you are not a
coin guy and want an easy to perform visual effect this is well worth a try.

It’s a simple effect, and won’t be a magician fooler, but for lay persons it plays really well.
In effect it is 4 large Chinese coins with 4 matching ] s that are double sided.
Despite its
‘simplicity’ I really like this effect.
The only problem is the quality control. The coins were
poor quality and had damaged edges. The paint finish was poor and not accurate, the painted holes
did not align with the real holes. And overall the coins were scratched and marked. Shame but mine
were returned.

I waited to order this for 5 years. Now downsizing my magical props... I took the plunge. Thia was
expensive.
BUT it is impressive. I can master the move. It is just as impressive as when I first
saw it performed.
The coins are beautiful. Best of all is the drawstring bag that keeps them
"controlled" while waiting for the next "show". The whole effect replaces the sponge balls for me
with much the same spectator contact and amazement. I could not be happier with this compact
treasure (that eases my sorrow at disposing of so much of my "apparatus" stage effects. No room.
Plenty of space for these four jumbo brassy Chinese Coins... forever. The video presentation is a
good learner's guide to presentation and handling. I wish there were print instructions as well as
the teaching disc...but I found the sales presentation on line just as helpful as the teaching disc.
Still yearn for print instructions. New owners will profit from a repeat look at the sales video on
the catalog page. Great presentation and patter leads.
