If it’s not popular you are left with hundreds of pieces of stock with no way of getting your money back. Apparition is not a cheap piece of kit. The coins have to be paid for up front along with the purses, the packaging etc. I have no idea what the costs are but imagine if it cost £40 a set in total. To ensure you had 500 in stock would cost £20000. It’s a lot of money especially when you don’t know how popular it is. And remember Alakazam aren’t a Vanishing Inc or Penguin - outside of the Nardi’s they have one member of staff. Having said that they based how much stock to have on how Mirage Coin set sold which was the previous record breaker when it came to stock selling out. They had WAY more than Mirage and yet still sold out within 2 hours. And bear in mind there were Several other magic dealers that had it on launch as well. They had no idea it would be that popular. I imagine they hoped it would but they were so sore that they cools risk having thousands of units in case it’s not as popular as they thought It’s nothing to do with FOMO. It just makes business sense Does that make sense to you? |

Yes, Craig, it does make sense...I had in my mind similar thought as you described and it indeed does not make sense to have excess stock for something that's not cheap even at cost. I appreciate your fast reply and explanation. Always a fan!

Decided my children’s inheritance can take another hit - dipping my feet in the pond of coin magic and pre-ordered. Never been tempted with coin magic before but this looks great and now super excited! A huge fan of Craigs releases and know this is going to be superb!

Thanks for the kind words! I was talking to Justin the other day and we both agree this is a perfect way to get into coin magic. You can literally perform some tricks with no palming and yet they are still incredibly strong. But the cool thing is the set will grow with you and as you have the ability to do more the set will provide way more routines
When you get one let me knoe how you get on Thanks |

WOW!!
I’m a bit late to the party but that is a killer routine Craig. This could become my favourite routine of yours, Apparition and Key Master look fantastic. I can’t wait to pick this up.

Hi,
It seems that every dealer who had Apparition in stock is now completely sold out. As Craig said we did not produce a small number of the sets but the reaction to it (even though we knew it was great) exceeded our expectations. We are now taking pre-orders for the second batch which is expected to arrive by the end of April. Thank you all for your support and kind words about this project, we are very proud of it. I hope this helps Peter Nardi |

Decades ago there was a marketed effect that used a blue rubber coin purse, a nickle, and a dime. The exact same moves Craig did in the demo were done to have the nickle and dime change places several times. You couldn't hand the rubber purse out, but the participant did get a .15c souvenir.
If anyone remembers the name of that effect, please PM me as my nostalgia has kicked in. PS, I am NOT accusing anyone of anything. It existed, this looks a lot like it, and now I miss it.
Your choices in life can be compared to watching a magic trick: You can continue to believe the illusion in front of you, find the intrigue and desire to learn more, or quit paying attention the moment you feel deceived.

Absolutely wonderful set, Ordered mine, hope I made the cut before they went back order. Site still said available, but way they were selling, you never know.
100% supportive of you Craig. Again awesome work in Coin, I’m thinking Coin magic might be taking off very soon with Mirage and Apparitions! Just my opinion. |

Through Craig's Mirage and now this I have been performing more coin magic than ever. Craig knows how much his coin effects have inspired me to learn more coin stuff.

However, there is a definite click of what seems metal against metal in the trailer and this point hasn't been addressed yet. I wonder if Craig would be able to clear up any confusion on this, as the noise could be nothing to do with the trick? Thanks Joogy |

I think that might be the shell lifting up and the nose is when it touches the Chinese coin again as Craig places the purse down on it. I can here it but don’t believe the shell is make any noise when it is magnetized to the purse.

Just to be clear there is noise with this item, ie when the coin hits the purse, although minimal there is a noise however in a normal environment where there is noise all around you this wouldn't be heard.
Also when the turtle goes onto the coin there is even more noise which isn't easily disguised therefore quite a bit of practice will be required to keep the noise during that phase to a minimal. |

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.

So if that click noise in the video is because the turtle gets lifted up by the purse and then as the purse is put lowered onto the chinese coin, it makes again contact with the turtle, how would you eliminate that noise if you wanted to do that handling? If you just wave the purse over the coin, there should not be much noise, but if you want to do what is done in the video where you put the purse on top of the coin, does this mean you will hear that click every time then?
