All in all, this trick is amazing!
The DVD is flawless and covers more than enough.
For international buyers;
There is only one thing I can fault. The gimmick is great,
but there are no more coins to complete this trick.
As I live in Australia, our currency is
different and there is no way of getting American coins.. Real bummer when I went to banks and money
exchange places to get 4 quarter dollars/half dollars and none can be found.
I have tried
completing this trick with our currency but 8/10 notice the different coin.
With the price
I payed I expected all the coins to be included. Other wise its a great trick but unless you have
American currency, i'd think twice.
Have you tried going to a currency exchange location like at an airport?
If you go to a currency exchange place, you are not guaranteed to get any coins, let alone the coins you want. Also, there is usually a minimum at these places (e.g., $100), and most of the time you can only request the denomination of the bills, not the coins you receive (there's even a machine that dispenses the money for the teller at many places, so as to decrease the chance of theft). Some places won't even let you choose the denomination of anything to deter con men from pulling "you gave me the wrong change" scam.
I live overseas, so I can vouch for the difficulty of getting foreign coins, but there are ways around it (eBay, etc.).
eBay, Amazon offer American coins. One could also post a request on a magic forum for some.
You can even get them here at penguin.
I live in USA. Send me a few dollars and postage, I will send you quarters. You can reach me at wingandprayer852@yahoo.com.
Ok, without divulging How, has anybody found it to be possible to adapt this more effectively with Australian or otherwise "foreign" (hehe) coins?
The reviewer identified local currency as a problem but maybe people have found workarounds to use this with local currency.
So is this peoples' experience with this effect or is it just as reviewer says no matter what?
