The thing is just so angle sensitive, and seems so fragile, I feel like playing with a Shin Lim
gimmick, but for coins. I don't do magic for cameras, I do it for people in real life!
Most
of these routines I would never do for more than one person at a time. And even then... I mean, the
time it will take you to master your angles in order to appear clean, when watching the tutorial it
just makes me want to practice more with real coins instead of using this.
I'm not a fan
of sticky tape stuff. And now what happens when the tiny thin plastic thing breaks? Sometimes you
have to ditch the gimmick during the routines. I'm not sure it will pass the test of time. It's
already twice as loose as it was 30 minutes ago when I opened the package, so the angle has changed
already. I feel like if I use it, I will constantly be looking at it to see if it's still holding,
and if I'm looking at it, the spectator will too. And that's not good...
The 'coin' part of
the gimmick is high quality though! It's made from a real Kennedy Half.
But! The thing could
have been sooo much more useful if it had been machined like an 'expanded' instead of just being
'empty'. Would have been a great improvement and offer much more possibilities afterward.
23 minutes DVD. No verbal explanations and constant annoying music loops.
Real
coin-workers should avoid this product. Beginners in magic might enjoy it.
