There's only 1 option for getting extra stickers as add-ons. How do we specify which size we want?

If the former, then I think this was a video of just the outside, which is real. Could you show a video of the inside, with the stickers clearly shown in comparison to the real coin? |

Bond,
the above question is the same question that I asked earlier, but is asked in a more "Layman's Show Me" way by tonsofquestions. :o) Many of us own DFSTC so maybe a direct comparison with DFTCS may help us understand better. Thus, can you confirm that the CSTC configuration (Sticker side vrs non-sticker side of each of the 3 wafers) is the same or different as compared with DFSTC? If additional photos is too much exposure, then your clear explanation can be another option. Also, sometimes videos and pictures may not show us an accurate depiction of the product given lighting, distance, etc....

I'm not entirely sure how to interpret your comment.
I probably would have asked it more subtly the first time, as well, but since we're not getting the answer we're looking for, it's time to be more clear. I would personally prefer a video than text, though perhaps both would be nice. If it's too much exposure, then we could move it to an appropriate thread in secret sessions. |

Hey guys,
Concerning the gimmick, one side of the coin is made with the same materials of the normal Chinese Coin, the other side is metallic stickers. It's like Double face super triple coin. Quote:

I'm hyped about this project, and ended up buying a ton of stickers to hopefully last me many years, just wish the regular coins were cheaper. I can get 5 dollar sized coins from AliExpress for $8, but a single one on the KS is $9.

Yes, you get what you pay for. :o)
and Based on Bond's answer related to "each side of the wafer", I interpret that the 3rd option in the bundle (ie..rainbow option) will be similar to Paul Richards Shang Hai coin "configuration" (which I own as well). Note: just referring to the configurations and not the coin faces between the 2 products referenced. Bond, thanks for the clarification. You have been very helpful throughout these questions. Looking forward to receiving the coins. :o) caL

Hi Everyone
Bond Lee wanted to let you know that he's going to be at FISM and he's going to have some sets of the CSTC - Chinese Super Triple Coin with him for sale so if you're also going to be there and you'd like to purchase a set and to save on the shipping cost you can purchase it directly from him there. Have a nice day. Regards Corporate Magician |

Set Purchased:
I purchased the dollar size V1, V2, and V3 sets. Tutorial: Seems the tutorial on the vimeo link is not yet up. However, you will not need it if you are familiar with this type of gaff. Overall Look: The actual set looks much better than what is shown on the video that Bond provided of the prototypes on May 17th. Sticker Quality: I am impressed with the black stickers as they have a shine to them. When manipulating the V1 set, it can be hard to tell the difference between the metal side vrs the sticker side. Time will tell how long the stickers will hold their shine with consistent usage. The stickers actually look like metal and are much more convincing than the Johnny Wong STC stickers. Ease of Sliding: Slides much easier than the original Johnny Wong DFSTC but not as good as JJ's Coin Coalition. The Law of physics still apply to this set: - Metal on Metal slides best but is more noisy - Metal on Sticker slides well and is less noisy than metal on metal. - Sticker on Sticker slides sufficiently but has a small amount of friction to overcome to get it started. This can be mitigated by placing your finger of the edge of the gaff and thumb on the face of the gaff (or visa versa) providing a push/pull effect which will help overcome the friction. Chinese Coin Quality: - CSTC coins have the same quality as with the N2G CCS and RBG sets. Bond Lee and team did a good job with these sets and I am happy with my purchase. I will practice with them and report back later. caL
