This is a pretty great product overall. Quality is great. Everything works as it should. It’s
absolutely imperative that you take care of this gimmick. There’s three main components that all
work in conjunction to make this effect possible. Only one of these components is fixable if you
break it. This is not to say the gimmick isn’t sturdy, it is, but if you damage certain parts, game
over.
I’ve performed this effect a couple dozen times and there’s never any heat on the
gimmick during performance. Especially since you’re likely closing a coin routine with this, the
gimmick becomes an after thought, a mundane item that’s being used simply out of convenience.
Wonderful.
I’ve seen a couple reviews on social media which claim this effect is not a
strolling effect, unless you’re table hoping a restaurant, and certainly not for a street magician
as you have to carry a glass or clear cup around with you. I’ve heard it argued this is not
practical. I found a simple solution to this buy utilizing a TCC clear card case. Most of the clear
cases sold on the market have one side that is held together by magnets and you just remove it and
drop the deck in. During performance you can use the clear card case as your “cup or glass”. Being
able to use the case that you transport the gimmick in, as the “cup” the coin penetrates, is
practical and opens the door to street magic.
