Hey guys a few months ago someone showed me what I thought was a Johnny Wong super triple coin set, and I was pretty impressed so I finally got around to ordering one and it's totally different than what I saw. Basically the set I saw you could definitely show all sides of all coins at all times. Not so with what I got my hands on.. so does anybody know what I saw? It was basically Johnny Wong super triple coins but you could show all sides of all coins..

To clarify, I'm not talking about the set where they change from silver coins to Chinese coins. Talking about three gaffed Eisenhower dollars...

Hey, Tyler,
I'm not entirely sure what you're asking. You could show all sides of all coins, but they don't change from silver to Chinese? What was on the other sides, then? Another Ike? Depending on what you saw, it could be a handful of things. Wong makes his double faced STC, but that uses stickers, as you probably know. It comes with them in chinese, but you could get Ike ones separately, and use that instead. Or maybe you're thinking of John Jurney's Coin Coalition: https://www.jjmagiccoins.com/home/shop/u......alition/ which doesn't use stickers, and has Japanese coins instead of Chinese, but again, not Ikes everywhere. There's Gemini Coins, but I think it's hard to find, and is only two coins, but you could always get two sets (harder to find) to get a triple. Or there's Triad Coins (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=um6hYNiXze4), which does a very convincing job of showing both sides of all coins ... but not at all times. And I don't think it comes in Ikes. Do any of those fit? Otherwise, if you can give a bit more about what you remember, we might be able to help better. |

Thanks TOQ, hmmm am familiar with the sets you mentioned..
I'll try to clarify: what I saw was basically three thin eisenhowers that are 'attracted' to each other and you can show both sides of each- heads and tails.. with the JW Super Triple Coins, you can only show one side of each coin... |

Oh, yes. I forgot to mention the Triple TUC. Excellent point.
It's so newly released (is it even available yet?) that it slipped my mind, though would have to have been an early copy if his friend had one. That said, it suffers from the same issues that Triad Coins does, in that you can only show both sides of nested pieces. |

Meir Yedid has had that Triple TUC for quite awhile, but he called it the Super TUC. He had a download of routines for it that he came up with that was available to purchasers of the Super TUC on his website. The routines looked beautiful and squeaky clean in the demo videos - it seemed as though you were always seeing the Ikes on all sides, due to a combination of clever routining and the clever gaff. None of that, including Yedid’s routines, has been available since Tango decided to manufacture and market the gaff set as the Triple TUC. I think some of Yedid’s routines were supposed to be included on the Triple TUC video instructions, but don’t know whether they were
Now appearing nightly in my basement.

Just to follow up.. I never did figure out what I saw. Maybe it was a dream.. Am enjoying the STC set though! Just not what I was expecting.. Will order a triple TUC soon as well. Thanks for the info guys.
