As I'm interested in the effect I thought I would pick up Triad just to get a feel for the routine not to compare with Todd's work which I already know is excellent as I've managed to purchase a couple of items off him now. Having said that when I got the Triad set it was just horrible, when the coin is as a single unit it looks rubbish and when performing a coin roll with it you can hear it rattling about. It wasn't reliable when it come to un-nesting etc it was just really bad in every way. Obviously I'm not saying Todd's workmanship is bad far from it but if Triad works in much the same manner it makes me wonder if a more expensive gimmick would still have the same issues. When you mention the Transient Coin triple coin I have JJ's Coin Coalition which is great but not suited to the routine I'm interested in adding. Once again just to be clear I'm saying the workmanship for the Triad set that I purchased was dreadful I'm not saying anything about Todd's work |

You could easily do a coin roll with a Triple Threat, and a lot of people do, but I’m not sure I would without switching out because as I said, the tolerances are scary perfect and a drop might result in a shipment back to Todd. If that is a dealbreaker, go elsewhere, but don’t compare a Triple Threat with the Triad. I’ve seen the Triad up close with Joshua and the only advantage it has is price. If someone can perform with a Triad, well then ... great! They have saved some money and as tejavoo found out, the routine looks awesome to a spectator. By the way - nice video, tejavoo. However, your complaints about the Triad do not apply to any of the Triple Threats I own. |

Noise and thickness can be an issue at times with triad coins, but when done swiftly with a little bit of background noise, its essentially a non-issue. I really love the way this set unnests compared to triple TUC. This is by far my favorite coin trick to perform.

I need some help with pulling this off.
I am trying to pick up 3 coins from a box , make them vanish one at a time, and have them re-appear in the same box I took them from in the beginning. How can I do that? Any ideas on what kind of box I would need ? |

I guess using the gaffed Triad coins, you’d start with the regular coins in the box, switch them out with the Triad Coins and load into Okito Box at the same time (ala David Roth) - do you vanish sequence and dump coins out to conclude. A nice sequence as the coins could then be examined by the spec at the beginning and end of the routine.

I would likely use the box in a more formal setting. Ideally, I'd rather use a regular appearing coin envelope (take coins out, make them disappear, and show they have come back to the envelope...). |

If it were a box, I was thinking something along the lines of this product (link below), but on a much smaller scale. Not sure if something like that already exists? http://www.penguinmagic.com/p/S17655 |

Great job! I have a problem at times smoothly nesting them and the end vanish is tricky for me to look natural, but I rarely practice, just impromptu stuff for friends. Your routine is smooth!

Quick update:
I recently bought Triple TUC. Triad coins is way better for this kind of effect in my opinion. |
