1KJ Inner circle Warning: We will run out of new tricks in 4385 Posts |
I have this, and it is definitely my favorite coin set! They are high quality and should last a lifetime. I love the fact that they have different colors, making them very easy to follow.
If anyone has these, you will know that Mark shows how to use them using one of his pockets. I like that you start and end clean. I have mine in a small leather pouch for storing and performing. However, I can't decide whether to start out with the gimmick coin in my pocket separate from the rest of the coins in the coin pouch, which requires a quick "set up", or to simply have all the coins in the pouch, come out with the pouch and either palm the gimmick coin or place it back in my pocket along with the pouch. Any thoughts? KJ |

In many cases, they are the "go-to" source for Asian-made magic. I have always found them to be professional and reliable re-sellers. That said, Asian magic (with the exception of the high quality manufacturers I listed above and some others I didn't list) suffers from a somewhat deserved reputation of cheap and flimsy materials used in construction, low quality knock-offs and poorly thought out effects. As with everything, caveat emptor. Alan |

I was watching one of the BOB SHEETS Does Hospitality DVDs and Bob has a really good CSB routine where he starts with all the coins in a coin purse, making it more convenient than Mark's way of starting with the gimmick in the pocket. The only thing is Bob's routine ends with the gimmick in the pocket and the purse to be examined. Maybe not so bad as he could put the purse in his pocket, slip the gimmick in, and close the purse. I use a more rustic looking sort of raw leather coin pouch, but I think it will work.

Sounds good! Especially since you're in Alaska!
I was stationed in Fairbanks for 3 years. I miss it. Although, no magic shops. |

I have found that the gimmicked coin is very obvious in close up. It is thicker and the s***l is obvious from the top
