First, it is not wrapped in a bill. They bring out their own coin and mark it. You put their coin in your palm then remove your wallet which is momentarily placed on top of the coin as you open up the wallet and get out a card. I believe the card has some sort of symbol which they stare out. You now take the coin and hold it at your fingers and "bend it visibly". The wallet helps you do the necessary manuever in a totally natural way.
Now, will I use it? No, but then I don't use anything but the standard switch of coins. It's worked for me for over two decades so I don't see a reason to start changing things. Of the various other methods I've seen around I immediately like the Quantum Bender and Neil's use of his Xpert in a coin routine. But I still use my old reliable way. Could you use the Terminator to devastate someone? Probably. I could see it as a great way to do a spot on TV where everything is done clean and right on camera. I'm sure Paul will sell a bunch of them because it's really well made... and I only saw a prototype, but it got the job done... and there's a market gone wild for bending things. Greg

Greg,
Is Terminator wallet and Quantum Bender two very similar devices? Sam |

No. They both allow you to bend a coins, but use a different prop & handling to get them done.

You DO NOT have to wrap the coin in a bill... but it is the way I like best.

What size coins are ideal to bend? I found QB had a limitation on the coin size, although with how much effort was put into bending a larger coin. I'm guessing you don't open the wallet with any visible strain or exertion in the hand or face. That would be pretty funny.

Remeber when the Predator was first released and it had "problems"? I would never buy something this expensive on it's first run, only to find out 90 days later " it's been improved".

If I had to choose I would go with the Quantum Bender merely for the fact that it uses it's gimmick in a steatlh way and for the intended purpose of supposedly making the event more impossible... marking the coin. I've seen it in operation and you do have to hide a bit of the "action", but it was negligible in comparison to things I've seen in the past. The wallet brings in this particular prop by way of introducing a card that they will stare at. Now, the way it is built does completely hide the "action' of bending the coin. So when the heat is on it looked like you were doing an action that was pretty normal to bend the coin in a hidden manner. As I said before, my choice: skipping all gimmicks and using the old method of switching coins or dumping the ones I need into the pile of coins. It's worked for me for over 20 years so I'm only going to switch if someone comes up with a way to really bend them using psychic powers. Greg

No vid demo, sorry. I will tell you this, the "First Run" is really about the fifth run... they have taken the time to get all the bugs out and tossed away THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS worth of early versions.
There are ONLY 35 made. Hurry!
