This is for all the performers that really like to do changes, transformations, vanishes etc with coins and other items that have Control. There are many that cannot afford to buy both and are looking for further clarification. And so Darryl has provided insightful clarification for all, as well as provided his simple Control Mod. This is also to Clarify exactly what Control is capable of that it can do all this and much more, as it has the needed Strength to perform PK effects, penetrations etc as well as the changes, transformations, vanishes with other items etc. Thanks Mike

Ok Mike so when I receive it I take the instructions from the your Café post above to
make it up ? Will once I have made like this will it still be able to do all the other effects or is a kind of secondary gimmick I will be making or just adapting the first so it does everything ? Best wishes Tarik 🙂 |

Really, the mod is just a specially cut piece of fabric with tape. Not that that discredits it! I actually gave it a go last night, and I did find a bit of an issue. The dimensions provided for the fabric are correct, but I found that around 50% of the time I would do a vanish, the coin would clink directly onto the gimmick before settling on the fabric part, thus making a noise. I've made my fabric cut a lot wider, personally, to try to alleviate this. |

Excited to say the least, By the sounds of what Others are saying it looks like Control can do Everything SA can do And A lot More. Strange to hear your experience with SA, I have had the exact opposite experience, and have really worked it, I am not Incapable by all means and I have great knowledge on how stuff should and should not work. Glad it is working for you, but It is Useless for me. Placed in the "Non-Usable Item Drawer" LOL |

Xavium Can you explain what you had done and what diameter and thickness of shim you used exactly - so that all get this correct. and if you are using a Sh@#L ? A normal steel coin will Make a Clink Sound do to the amount of Solid steel material inside it. Thanks Mike

Technically, they were just tests with the size of the fabric. I was actually using proper coins for this. My main intention was to pick up a shim sh**l quarter. Figured that would work just as well as taking a sh**l and sticking my own shim in it, yeah?

A bit more stiff and little thicker than standard craft felt, Ill Have the proper dense felt noted here soon for all. You could always double up the flesh colored craft felt and stick together with the double sided carpet tape and flatten a bit before cutting out your felt strip. Mike

So the shim is .005" thick? I think there was a typo in your correction Mike.
I could be wrong. Cheers |

.003" is the thickness to use. Here is a link: https://precisionbrand.com/products/0-00......00-roll/ Note--The link shows .007" pictured, but read description-They supply .003" as well. I think they go down to .001" as well. Click on the drop down menu of page. Then click "Distributor Locator" to locate nearest Distributor near you to either walk in and pick up, or order online. If your nearest distributor does not carry .003" inch thickness steel shim. They can order it in for you. You want the steel shim in "Green Box" Mike

Pretty scathing review. To say they hated both products seems an understatement.
