The method is right what you thought it was. Teaching is a bit.. full of repeating one self. The
effect and routine it self is very noisy and I find it uncharming. I will stick to Filter by Rick
Lax.
Anyway, if you want a cheap coin effect, you get what you pay for here.

This is the first timeIhave written about a trick but I felt cheated by the dishonesty of what they
said about the trick .they advertised it with a big English penny and they said their is nothing in
the hands at the end but it is not possible to use a large coin like an English penny or evan a
QUARTER . Rick Lax,s Filter is so much better.Don,t waste your money.

The method is very simple but it will surprise your audience.

I normally write no reviews - but here I have to make an exception. The reason is, both in the
description and the videos there is stated " ... and there is nothing more in the hands - except the
empty glass and the coin! ... EVERYTHING IS 100% CLEAN... ". This is an open lie, and I'd rather
believed the first reviewer who said that the method is excatly would you would expect. I have no
problem with descriptions that hide the true method as long as there are no plain false statements -
in that case I feel betrayed.
Besides the above I give two stars because the method per se is
not bad however only useable with small coins in the size smaller than a quarter.

I really would like to like this one, but there is a couple of cons that make this trick bad.
First of all, the props. Some bad angles that rely on the properties of the coin, the glass
(That why "ALMOST" any coin or glass) AND your hands. Second, the technique. Not at all polished.
The first one is extreme unpractical as a whole move for this kind of "work". There are a lot better
moves than this one. The second, it's ok, but i have seen elsewhere with better handling.
These
two points make the good "idea" of the trick not work as a surefire. For the camera, great. For
everyday use, not at all.
I really think you should be looking other places for this kind of
trick. Filter by Rick Lax will give you better food for thought. It's one of the best Coin Through
Glass routines that you will encounter.

This is not a revolutionary method but is one of the cleanest one! I recommend this!

Very good trick! I've fooled all my friends with it! The method is very clever and not so hard to
perform. If you are lookin for cool bar and coin tricks - this is one of the best, I think...

It says...
Any glass, any coin
Then it goes on to say...
With almost any glass -
Almost any coin
Save your 4 dollars, this is a complete waste, and as usual a
misleading description. This is NOT the first time Ive been mislead, but I promise it will never
happen again because as of now I'm taking my business elsewhere.

I like this trick. I does take a little practice, but the results are worth it. What I like about it
is that The Fair Coin plays nice and straight forward with just the "1" coin as compared to Filter,
which shows multiple coins.
I only gave The Fair Coin 4 stars because you can end clean,
but not without a ditch.
I love just about anything from Rick Lax, so I'm wondering if The
Fair Coin might not make a nice lead into Filter. You add the coins needed, which helps you with
your ditch from The Fair Coin, and continue with some additional looks to the coin through glass
routine.
