Not only high quality, but stop using small coins for close up work. Using dollar size magnifies the
magic BIG TIME!
Here's a PROFESSIONAL performance tip: instead of showing your hand empty
at the end, have a non coin object. It can be anything, so use your imagination.

Ask them "how many coins are left?" No
mater what they say, you say 'None" and produce the mini Nun!

All I can say is wow.
I've been using these baby's everywhere; stage, parlor, strollin.
Gets a great reaction every time and they look amazing!
I used them at Caesars Palace for
all of December, and let me tell everyone from the head Chef's to the GM at loved it.

If you like Hopping Halfs, but don’t perform it with gimmicks coins because you prefer to use dollar
sized coins; then this should work nicely for you. I, of course, would prefer silver coins, (Peace
or Morgan dollars); but this is an affordable option for having a gimmicks set in a size I prefer.
This one came with the real Eisenhower dollar mismatched from the date on the shell and in the
sun/moon coin...AND the real coin was in rough shape. Luckily, I had an Eisenhower coin with a
matching date and in good shape, with which I could replace the not-so-good coin. It was because I
felt I had to replace the real coin that I give this one four stars. Plus, you have to watch your
handling, as the set seems to “talk” more than the smaller, half dollar sized sets.

One of my favorite effects - an absolute worker - and these coins are beautifully made and a
pleasure to perform with. Be warned that this particular set requires big hands! But the added size
makes it wonderfully visual and even makes a parlor routine possible in addition to close-up work.

I did it in a stand up magic show and the reactions was awesome, I liked it.
Five stars
because the one dollar shell is expanded, you know if you are a profesional magician it´s a great
tool itself.
Thanks a lot.
I gave this a 3 Star because I am not able to do, what I would like to do with a Dollar Size Hopping
Half. My budget can be stretched if has to purchase fro a high end manufacturer (barely). So I
purchased this set a a quarter of the cost, hoping this would be sufficient. But I would give this
set a 1 star for a performance set for myself only because I felt the look and sound wasn't what I
would feel comfortable with being close like in a walk around situation.
But I would give
it a 5 star for being a set to see if a Dollar size would be good for your hands, or to practice
with. But you may also decide it's the one for you.
I will be making another purchase on a
different set for myself though.
So my 1 Star for personal preference, and 5 star for
practice set averaged out to a 3 Star Review.
I've always done the Hopping half. Lost part of my old set, so decided to upgrade to the larger
coins...GREAT! Always an audience hit!
This set of coins is very well made!THE BIGGER,THE BETTER.!
