Received my Morgan blackout a couple of days ago and I gotta say, this is an amazing tool. The quality of the coin is exceptional and Brian goes over all the r and d that went into making it on a section of the DVD. A lot of thought and research went into this gaff. It really doses look like real magic when you see brians handling. I like the way he teaches too. A very laid back and charming style he has. Best of all is that most of my shirts and tops are already black!
Does anyone have a routine with the margins worked out? |

So I don't fault them for that but I'm certainly not going to go into a pricing war with them on my own item. It's one reason we sell the silver coins exclusively from our site. Sean, I'm glad you're enjoying the Morgan.

I just thought that perhaps your price might possibly reflect the right, and or permission to join in on the “Tips & Tricks” discussion on your site. Posted: Jun 24, 2010 5:41pm Just ordered the Half Dollar one. If it works out well perhaps I'll then order a Quarter Coin. Of course, now that it's summer I hardly, if ever, wear black considering the heat albeit black is my favorite color for shirts and other various apparel.

Thanks CasualSoul. Yeah, I'm sure you are correct. I think they just feel too small because of all my practice time being done with half dollars.
Thanks again! Jim |

There are not many coin gaffs I suggest folks explore - this is one of them.
If you have the curiosity and $$ - ask for an [ blackout. Think of what that means when you ask a peer for a coin then stuff happens.

Jonathon,
Does that exist currently? Or are you suggesting that someone request it to be made? Thank you. Jim |

Just received my Blackout Kennedy Half Dollar and all I can say is wow!
Although I could easily surmise what the coin was before I ordered it, I can now easily see just how much work went into making this special coin and trying to make one yourself would be pure folly. I haven’t played around with it too much as of yet, but I’m looking forward to doing so when time allows. If after some needed practice with it, and it works out smoothly, I might very well also purchase a Quarter Blackout. Great work Brian on bringing an ancient magic principal to the present time, and something that is easily usable in a very close up situation.

Figure a custom Morgan Blackout might be possible?

Just recevied "BLACKOUT" today. I am really impressed with the gimmick and DVD. I am very new to coin magic and this seems like it is going to be a lot of fun to perform. Can't wait to try it out! The DVD is very informative and now has me interested in picking up some Roth coin magic DVD's.

Custom work seems to be no problem for Brian and Mike. I just ordered a blackout barber half. Good customer service with these guys.

Man, I'm so glad that this string continues to live and evolve. Just goes to show you how truly great Platt's "Black Out" is. Right from the beginning here, didn't I tellya it was the truth?

Anyway, I'm not at all too clear on what a Blackout ] would be, or what purpose it would serve. After having a Blackout coin I can imagine what a Blackout ] would possibly look like, but I can't fathom how it could be made. Obviously something that can't be discussed here for fear of giving away anything. Patiently waiting for the weather to cool down here when I can wear something black. Being in the 90's and humid beyond belief, if one were to wear black it would be a signal to have one hauled off to the Twinkie farm! Other than that, if you have some question as to the gaff you are interested in simply PM Brian. Then again, maybe you already have.

I've had the quarter gaff for at least six months.
And posted some of my findings using the gaff on this and other threads. As well as mention of showing a couple of applications at NEMCON back in March. I'm waiting for word on if they would be up for making a gaff in the other coins I use and at what price.

Just received my custom order in barber half dollar. Really nice work. This has gotta be the cleanest way there is to totally vanish a coin. Does any one use this for a cleanup in VCA? This would be a good way to end clean with 3 examinable coins.
Kind regards Sean |
