I think one issues with using Euro is the coins are actually made of two different pieces tightly put together. To get a shell to that diameter may not be viable to make to ensure the shell doesn’t fall apart. The US coins are built with one solid piece that allows for the ability to make into a shell.


In Germany there is a 2 EURO Shell available but I think it is more costly to produce

In addition a customized China coin > Set probably become much more expensive

I see vanishing inc has some euro coins 50 cent and 20 cent euros, but do agree it would could be more costly to produce.

Apparition reminds me of a deluxe set of Dave Loosley's Envision, which I always felt was a wonderful routine.

That is a nice routine. Looks similar except with a pen.

I was surprised this wasn't continued as it was a great effect.

They are in fact different gaffs and routines but I'm happy to say we will be re running Envision later this year.

I hope this helps

Is there already a definite time window when this trick will be available again ?

It's marked for the release either the final quarter of 2023 or first quarter of 2024.

Already sold out ! I waiting for the second batch from Alakazam. Any owner can let me know inside the shell is a metal shim or a thin magnet ? Thank for your help.

I got my set delivered yesterday. The coins already rattled in the box. Fortunately, nothing was damaged.
The work of Roy is once again quite excellent. Not quite as great is the Chinese coin. It could be a little heavier,
but will do the job. Feels cheap, but looks good. I was a little disappointed with the purse. The adhesive strip
has already come off, it has also only been used a tiny little bit. Will have to fix somehow

The video of Craig is once again absolutely great. I love his work.

Thanks for the kind words! We decided to stick the magnet in place with tape so that people could move it if they wanted to. There is a flap on the inside just pull it back and use some more tape. I would suggest carpet tape as that is very sticky! I actually like the Chinese coin but you could switch it out if you want to!

If o can help with any advice about routines etc please let me know

Thanks

Craig

Same with mine. The magnet was out. The flap was out.
I contacted Alakazam. After emailing them 2 times. Finally after 2 weeks I get a response
“ This can simply be repositioned using a little extra double-sided tape and your good to go again.”

Very annoyed w Alakazam taking a long time for the response. I’ve been a huge customer of theirs for years.

They really need to throw in a paper towel or cloth. To prevent the coins and purse from shaking around during shipment. Like when dvds would break from shaking. I would add a paper towel to prevent it.

I’m a HUGE fan of Craig. Love this release. This isn’t on him. I’m still excited and motivated to learn and work this. It’s awesome!!!!

I’m going to use carpet tape as he suggested.
The magnet is huge. I may try using a strong smaller one. That would minimize the “dent” created. NOT a big problem as no one is going to examine MY purse. I just don’t let things like that happen.

Just sucks I have to go buy tape. And that my email gets ignored until I email twice to wake them up.

And yes. I’m busy too. But I don’t ignore my friends’ emails.

Hope this is a one time occurrence.

That’s not great news… pre-ordered a while ago, hopefully they’ll resolve this…

I experience something like this often and it often takes a lot of patience and time to give not up

But fortunately there are also dealers who are very accommodating and try to help fast

Thanks for your kind words, I really appreciated.

I know that Alakazam’s customers are very important to them. I’m not sure why the email didn’t get answered quicker because they are normally quite on top of stuff like that. I would recommend using the online chat on their website as that is manned and you get a very quick response.

Regarding the magnets, I did try smaller magnets and varying different diameters, and I settled on the one that was used in the purse as that provided the perfect suction for what I needed. However, the reason we made the magnet removable with so that people can experiment if they want to. I know it’s frustrating having to change tape, but I honestly think that’s the best solution as different people want the magnet in different places and doing it. This way was the easiest way to make sure that is possible.

I hope that helps, and once again, thank you very much

Craig did this for me in the Ruskin and it was fantastic. There is a slight noise when the coin contacts the purse, but it's only significant if you're in a totally silent environment.


Well if you are going to do a coin routine with a little noise the Ruskin is definitely the place to do it

Thanks for the hint with the Mirage Coin Set. I already have 2 Sets and I love it. The question now is why is there a photo on Alakazam with a different color of the box.
