Oh, please tell us what you think when you have time. $29.95 is darn cheap considering its claims ( and the other costly methods out there ).

I think:

The price is cheap, I’ve seen it at $26. The claims seem to be real but I’ll look over them after I type what I think.
I watched the dvd and bent every coin I could find in the house, somewhere at 25 coins.
I think the bends look better then I thought they would look. Muscle strength varies. Pennies are a cinch, quarters are harder but much easier then other benders I tried before. I’m on the skinny side so easier bending is a BIG plus for me. It might be top 3 most important things because I don’t want to look like I’m having a baby when I’m supposed to look like I’m not doing anything.
You will need some extra things but you probably already have them like I did. I will get the ‘something’ to camouflage it whenever I go to the store again. This was one disappointment for me, but there is no reason for them to include everything because you can get what you need anywhere, pick whatever kind you want and total at under $5 if you don’t have anything. Even with my disappointment, I would rather buy what I want to pick out instead of something I can get myself included with the trick and have to pay $40 for the trick instead of $29.
Watching the live performances looked great. This was another BIG plus for me. The teachings were good, but I had to pause and rewind to see something again a few times.
Some of the routines need practice to look good. This is another thing for the con list. You could probably do it without practice and still pull it off, but I wouldn’t. Nothing is what I consider difficult, but practice is needed in some routines.
A few routines are close to idiot proof. These are without a doubt the EASIEST coin bends you will ever find.
Coins don’t have the blatantly obvious lines on the coins like superman and coinvexed either...BIG plus.
Don’t miss the live shot of the girls on the menu. Lol.
Claims-
Adjustable bend intensity– some coins I notice this more then others. It seems better for adjusting to different sized coins to me.
Invisible bend- not all of the routines are invisible bends. They are still unnoticeable by a spec. but aren’t invisible like the others are.
Easier bending and less movement- I agree. It doesn’t take near as much strength or movement as other benders I’ve tried. The gimmick can be modified to be stronger or smaller.
9 routines – I count 10 or 11
Bend with people watching you – yes you can.

The most important thing is that the thing works and it does. To bend coins at this price, I will recommend it without pause. It is much better then Superman in every way I can think. I would even recommend it over coinvexed. The camouflage is better with coinvexed, but the absolute coin bender is much cheaper by $120!!, bends easier, better dvd, and much better routines.

I'm interested to see how Absolute Coin Bender compares with QB 2.0.

QB 2.0 = $750

ABC = $30

Comparison: $720

They both do what they have to do. You decide which one you want to pay for.

I've never seen a QB2 go for $750.
They retail for $500.
I've seen a used one occasionally go for around $400.

Remember when computers with 1 gig cost 4k and now....lol.

This may or may not be as good as other benders, but it is possible.

More reviews and comparisons if possible would be great.

It won't be as good. But there's nothing wrong with exploring new methods!

I don't have any of the expensive bender devices, so I can't compare. My thoughts will be based just on this product.

I got this as well. ? as well. I was lucky enough to be able to compare it to some other devices. I don't have an opinion as of yet.
