The coin set(s) include are absolutely top notch and if you were to use this for a standard Cylinder and Coin routine, it's fantastic. Now in general I do like the leather cylinder and cork that's typically used but the idea of using a dollar bill to make the effect seem really organic is also a great idea in my opinion.

Now the deduction of a star from my rating has to do with the final reveal. I love the idea of a final load for this and a shot of liquor seems like the perfect choice. But the star deduction comes because in order to perform the routine as Josh does, you really can't do it close up and you'll find yourself in a very angle sensitive position. If you watch Josh perform this in the video, that is the ideal distance and angle to be performing. It would probably work well in a parlor setting with people seated 5 or 6 feet away but if you're looking for something to do seated at the same table as you, you would need to find a different method for the final reveal. That being said, the trick has enough built in misdirection that coming up with an alternative method for the final load wouldn't be overly difficult but it's something people may want to know before buying a fairly expensive set.
