I have a quiver but not used it in anger yet.....still on fence as to its practicality and the sudden snap shut mechanism almost makes the method obvious.....not saying it’s not good but I’m still playing with it ......spotted this .....does anyone have it and thoughts on how it compares with quiver.

Don't be afraid of quiver just treat it as a coin purse dump out your coins before you use it hint hunt.

Quiver is superb especially if it's used in a subtle way as.

I just bought a couple Quivers for a few ideas I have. I have more ideas than pouches. I would love to have a better understanding of what “The Fooler” is. I have a genuine interest, but the details are sparse. PM?

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I like the looks of it.
Why do you want to use Quiver in anger? There are coin carriers with the open/close mechanisms that Quiver has so it is not strange to spectators. http://www.walletgear.com/hardy-leather-......hzhopChA |

I like the design of Fooler compare with Quiver. It looks more modern looking coin purse.

Sorry if the phrase confused .....its a british slang phrase
To "use something in anger" is a phrase, meaning to use something "for real" - in production, etc. rather than just to try it out.

I guess a more pointed question would be, does “The Fooler” work as well with billets and folded cards as it does with coins. Any help?

I'm curious too.
I'm guessing it has a similar function as the Quiver, but it's actually not clear what exactly the fooler does. I like my Quiver, but had one fail on me recently. I gave it to a participant to open, and she managed to open the wrong side. Worse, she saw the gaff in the process. I'll be opening it myself from now on I guess....

Never had a spec open the wrong side. Great item that old quiver.

I contacted Vanishing Inc and asked what the difference was.
Though there was a bit more in the reply about watching the trailer for The Fooler, George from V.Inc stated, “Quiver allows for the most visual magic but The Fooler is more versatile and easier to use.” |

Thanks for that. Not quite sure what that means, but I guess short of explaining how it works it's going to have to be a bit vague.
The Fooler isn't too expensive, maybe someone will take the plunge and report back.

Excellent review, Kaan! Thank You for taking the time to go in to such detail. It would be fun to have both on the table and have the spec. choose one. Go in to a routine with the one chosen and then afterward say, "If you had chosen this one..." Then do a routine with the other purse with a bigger climax such as revealing a $100 note; "This would have been your prize!"
How many magicians does it take to change a lightbulb? Regardless, for magicians darkness is a time for d'lite.

I have quiver and find it to be a decent gaff, however I would like to be able to discreetly steel or load as you can in the fooler

Thanks Kaan. Well done!
