Also, while using my original Ike set, the Japanese coins got darker with the contrast being amplified. They actually look more authentic. This may actually help with with Morgans. I am not sure because I do not have a Morgan set but it is worth noting. Still a superb set no matter which version it is.

gillesA4 Special user Brussels, Belgium 593 Posts	Posted: Jan 16, 2017 05:59 pm 0 My absolute best buy for years! Just used a permanent marker to highlight the japanese characters, looks a little bit more "real" to me... You can still use a cotton bud and alcohol to remove the ink, if you don't like the result! Thanks JJ! We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them. (A. Einstein)

Thanks JJ! Nice. Would also give them greater contrast with the dollars.

It's possible if you supplied your own real Morgan's he could make you up a set in those. Oh, forgot all about that! Haha, duh My ex-cat was named "Muffin". "Vomit" would be a better name for her.

1KJ Inner circle Warning: We will run out of new tricks in 4388 Posts	Posted: Jan 17, 2017 07:02 pm 0 I just received my coin set. This is the most beautiful coin set I have ever purchased! Love it! kj
1KJ Inner circle Warning: We will run out of new tricks in 4388 Posts	Posted: Jan 17, 2017 07:04 pm 0 JJ, Is there any possibility of you making one of these in quarters? I do a lot of very casual magic and I do a lot of magic with quarters, either un-gimmicked coins and/or using a shell. I would love to carry one of these in the coin pouch in my regular wallet. kj
videoman Inner circle 6750 Posts	Posted: Jan 17, 2017 07:34 pm 0 +1 I would also absolutely buy a set in quarters.

Mb217 Inner circle 9531 Posts	Posted: Jan 18, 2017 09:48 pm 0 Great to see that people like the work so much that they are envisioning it with other coins...Even quarters, I see now. I know John is mapping out possibly doing the halves, but quarters would be even thinner....Hmmmm. Still, if anyone can make it happen it would be John, as he's always thinking about these things...That's how he came up with such a dynamically unique take with these new split coins. I understand the interest in quarters...It's perhaps the one coin of any notable size that most people would carry on them. So it would be easy to ask people for them and then switch in (& out) the gimmick. I can see it...Nice! Well, John knows of this and hopefully the old wheels are a turnin'. In the meantime, he's got some other goodies up his sleeve to hopefully appear in the coming months. Oh, and hey, I meant to also say that dj's presentation (above here) with John's NEW coins looked a little like Samoya...at least it sorta reminded me of it. https://vimeo.com/199390648 Really good piece of work!

I just know he paid upwards of $300-$500 for his set, which were real nice cause I got to work with them a few minutes. I have to say that of all the coin gaffs I've encountered (bought, worked with, or had presented to me) this is the VERY BEST gaff coin set that is available anywhere at any price. This is the first time that I've ever bought ANY trick, gaff, gimmick, or magic device of any kind that was $50 or more and I honestly felt like I got my money's worth AND more!... Thanks again Mb for sharing. Yet another extremely happy customer...

As for the thickness of quarters, if each coin were only half as thick as a regular quarter, that would make the set only 1.5 times the thickness. I would be happy with that. You have to remember, while the one coin would be just a little thicker, that can easily be disguised by the angle of the coin. In addition, if the individual coins had a bit more thickness at half a coin rather than a third of a coin, that would make the individual coins look better. KJ

Couldn't agree more. just performed the main routine for my son and a bunch of his mates, and they were gobsmacked. They think I'm God !!. Not bad for a mere hobbyist and a couple of hrs of practice. I cannot recommendd this enough !! Yet another extremely happy customer...

Yes, I see some similarity there also. Very smooth moves with this set compared to a traditional "Samoya Set" of coins. Looks great.
