Is this gaff completely new in idea and shape or is it a combination of already known devices?

You can read about it on his blog. He has the entire history posted there and a complete description of the gaffus.

I would assume you are talking about Lassen's blog?. . . Got it.
Thanks

Hi Jeff O,
You will have to look in the April Archives! It's At the Botton!

I did eventually find it. Thanks though.

Your Wecome!

Where is the video about Otis using the utility reel, someone was mentioning it before

It will be comeing out when he gets the reels ready! Stay Tooned!:)

Dave,

How far are we from your UWC book?

Hi,
I think we have 3 or 4 left to go! Then we will have to do the editing and The ILL.! So As I have said Before Stay Tooned! And Have A Happy 4Th.

There's going to be some lucky guys in the very near future, I'm told the second batch of UWC will be going out in the next week. Lassen has created the most awesome gaff to date, I think it's only rival is his Triple Threat.

Hey, I'll second you on that. There is nothing out there that compares to the UWC. The effect, routine, and possibilities, plus the time Todd puts into them... he's selling it way too cheap. Seriously... PRICELESS. I'd love to get a second one for reserve. Speaking of the Triple Threat, I just got my 1921 Uncirc Morgan set last week. Perfection.

I showed my wife the video Todd put up on Otis' blog, and she loved it. I've been digging around in my magic cellar looking for ebay fodder to get the money to buy a set. UWC is absolutely MAGIC!

Totally agree with that! (still haven't received mine though... I can't wait to play with it!!!)I did order an extra copper coin! But no fresh news yet...

I feel your pain. I'm terrible about that - I want it NOW But, we all know Todd's a busy guy. I've bought most of my sets on Ebay cause I can't stand to wait! Speaking of, have you seen he's put some of his coins on Ebay? Prices are incredible. Good for him.
Keep us posted on your UWC.

I also meant to mention; you said you bought the extra copper coin -good move. Did you also grab the extra Morgan? I haven't done anything to bring the extra copper into any routines, but use the morgan to go into the Somoya. I guess I should keep playing with them. I'm still watching here to see if David Neighbors gets done with his book.

Did you catch that... David Neighbors... done with the book??

Yes, Todd's a busy man... which is a good sign! Yes I saw he started selling coins on Ebay... And yes, the prices are high!!!

No, I didn't buy the extra Morgan because I didn't feel the need to... I already have quite a few Morgans after all, so I hope one of them will do...

The Somoya routine is REALLY nice. Do you happen to have link to a video btw?
I'll keep you posted when I receive my UWC! Let us now if there are some news concerning the routines in the book!

Cheers!

I doubt the other Morgans will do because these are shaved down and re-milled, re-reeded. Having spent as much money as you did on UWC, you should get the re-sized Morgan insert because its specially matched to your set. If you don't get it and decide you want it later, you will have to send the whole set back to Todd to get it matched. They are only like $35 bucks...

Certainly ordered the extra coins with my UWC order. I think that with the basic UWC set and the extra coins I will be able to do an enormous number of routines. I am anxiously waiting and waiting and ... , well that is what we have to do until the magic day arrives!

Yea---Yea I am working on it! I am wateing on the writer! But it's Geting Closer!
Two routines left to write! And then the Ill.'s.

Dave Neighbor's UWC routines have all be transcribed with the exception of a glass top table routine which couldn't be easily transcribed due to glare on the video. Will meet with Dave next week and complete.

These routines are killer!! My favorite involves a twilight routine with a small mirror through which the coins pass and change places and many of the routines leave you completely clean. I've also transcribed many of the sleights in greater detail which may or may not be included as a separate section. None of these sleights are obsessively hard to perform and there are a fair amount of 'feints' in Dave's work which makes them more magical as well.

Transcribed this book will be quite large, perhaps over 100 pages when illustrations and photos are added in. I'm pretty sure I'm over 75 pages of single spaced typed pages. I think it will be well worth the wait. I apologize for the time taken but it does take a bit of time and rewriting for each routine and I think the wait will be worth it. Since there are a limited supply of UWC's out there I think you'll most likely be 'the first on your block' with these routines.
