The preview is exactly what you get. I think the main thing you get out of this is Eric Jones'
style. There are some cleverly applied ideas here and at 15 bucks, it's a steal.
It's not
knuckle-busting. It's just that the sleights and principles are put together very smoothly. Also,
Eric goes over some different ways to execute a few of the phases. I think that there are several
sleights (vanishes especially) in here that the beginning and intermediate coin magician can get out
of this.
That can be done impromptu with any 4 of the same coins. You'll ideally have a
surface with which to display the coins (as seen in the demo). I feel that at the price, you get a
lot out of it.

Brilliant - the mechanics are within anyones reach with a little practice, and you'll also learn one
of the coolest (and surprisingly simple) vanishes you're likely to come across (the one seen in the
preview).
Have only been playing with this for an hour, but based on initial observations,
I think you need to do this with large coins (like the old US Silver Dollars) in order to get the
nice audible "clink" sound. Smaller coins seem less reliable for the audio aspect.
That's
probably the main thing you need to keep in mind... tradeoff between size and sound. Big coins look
better as well of course.
I highly recommend this. Practical, strong, not overly hard.

I'd say that this and Coin Glass (David Stone) are the two best non-gimmicked coins across routines
that I've seen/learned. I have to agree with a previous review that this is very clever thinking
from Eric and that at $15 is a pretty much a steal. Now, I have to say that this is a bit more
than what you see as Eric explains 3 more versions of the final vanish which I think are very useful
at least for me in my situation. anyways Two thumbs up to this one.

I have not bought this. I attended a lecture by Eric in South Africa this past weekend and he showed
the Audio Coins. It is an incredible effect. The retention of audio (if one can call it that) is so
convincing I was fooled and couldn't believe it even when he explained it. In my opinion there is
one challenging sleight that if you take the time to perfect it - it will change your coin magic
leaps and bounds.
Eric is an incredible teacher, friend and magician. This is one to add
to card - $15??? add two.
Your mime skills are required for this one but that just makes it more fun. It's very deceptive and
easy to do. You can't beat a solid impromptu routine, especially at this price.
This effect is a winner because it can be done on the fly with no setup using any coins (although
you will find heavier is better). It will require practice since there are no gaffs but it is not
overly difficult and once you have it, you have something to be proud of.
Awesome. for 15$!! add to cart.
