I got this in the mail today and was super excited to try it out. I did the very minimal (and
reasonable) assembly according to the video. All is well until it came time to actually perform the
trick.
I start the very short process of setting the trick up as per the instructions and
feel a snap. Go to check what just happened since I’ve barely done anything at all and another snap
takes place. Keep in mind this wasn’t done under any pressure and I wasn’t in a hurry at all. It
completely broke by simply trying to do the absolute simplest move you have to do with the gimmick.
Looks like the supplied material to make other coins is really just repair material. I’m
going to repair it, but sadly I don’t think you can really trust it to last. You have to be
ridiculously gentle but sly at the same time. I feel like it’s more of a liability than anything
else since you WILL worry about it falling apart during any performance. Very disappointed, and the
only reason I gave it 2 stars is because I at least have two Morgan dollars I can use to practice
coin magic now. $40 for that though feels like a punch in the gut.
Great idea, and would be
awesome if the gimmick was stronger or at least reliable.
