What a piece of Crap!

This idea of the effect holds great promise, but as it arrives it just does not work. The gimmick – which is a very well known friend of the magician – is too big for the rings and I don’t see how you can perform this the way it explains in the instructions.

The rings could be used for something else, just don’t raise your hopes that you will be doing the Disintegration Vanish anytime soon!

Wonderful Purses!

I’ve always liked Larry’s coin purse and this latest version of his classic is certainly the best of all. As a set of five they are great value and they open up many more routine opportunities.

This set comes with five routines on the well produced DVD with some performances and history of the Coin Purse too. Due to the utility nature of these purses you will quickly be able to think of other routines for them if you so desire. But, you really won’t need to since the routines are very strong and there is something for everyone.

The purses are very finely made in soft leather with a satin lining, and they can be used to switch almost anything that will fit in them. The mechanism is very easy and very clean, and done correctly there is no discernable difference between the two motions. The purses even make the same sound in both cases.

These really are a beautiful piece of work, and probably one of the best things to date to come out of the stable of Becker and Earle over at MentalismUnlimited.com.

Highly recommended!

Wow even better than Silver, Copper, Brass Transposition!

Perhaps my favorite gimmicked coin effect is the standard: Copper, Silver, Brass Transposition. I like it because it is visually easy to understand, you start clean and end clean, and there is zero reset.

When I first received Chinese Bit I was thinking it was basically the same effect, but with different coins. It turns out that you can do the exact same moves and routine, but due to the differences in the gimmick you can do a whole bunch of other sequences, because unlike the normal Silver, Copper, Brass gimmick, you can show this gimmick on both sides.

So this now is my new favorite coin set. I don’t know how many Joe Stevens has but I suggest you order one now.

Highly Recommended!

Time to Take Flight!

Wow, this is as close to perfection as you could imagine. John Kennedy really has produced the ultimate in coins to glass with Flight Deck.

The mechanism is perfect and works every time, the routine is easy to do and clean, and the effect on the audience is stunning.

I find it hard to believe that you will not only love this beauty, but you will be performing it every chance you get.

Highly Recommended!

Nice Gimmicked Deck – But Why?

I have been performing Paul Curry’s Out of This World for over 30 years, and it has never failed to entertain my audiences. One of the biggest reasons it is a classic of card magic, is that you can use a borrowed deck and perform it pretty much anytime, anywhere.

So why would you ruin it and use a gimmicked deck? It is a great gimmicked deck, but please use it for something else – not Out of This World.

There are some good effects that this deck could be used for, and it does come with some ideas, but using it for Out of This World is certainly not one.

The deck is produced well and the photo-illustrated instructions are superb.

It is Portable and Affordable and Works, but a bit flimsy.

I have always loved the card sword effect and when I saw Jay Leslie advertising this effect, I thought I’d give it a go. The size of the sword makes is suitable for smaller gatherings that a fullsize card sword is just not suitable for. The method is different from other card swords I have seen, and works well. I don’t believe you would be doing this for close-up, but for parlour or stage it would be fine.

However there are two problems with it: you cannot show the sword from all sides, even in motion, and the sword itself is a bit flimsy and I personally would have preferred to pay extra for a slightly more solid sword.

It is still a worthy attempt, and you should find yourself using this.

Lovely Quality and Plenty of Ideas

This is a wonderful set of ulitlity coins that comes with four 1/2 dollar sized coins, two shells, one larger coin, and a split coin for penetrations (not pictured).

The coins themselves are very solid and heavy, and much nicer than many chinese coins I have seen recently. It also comes with 5 pages of routines by Tony Chaudhuri.

A great outfit and a great price!

Even Better than Before!

In my opinion, this is still the best single person nest of boxes on the market today! In fact they are even better than the last round as George has added some nice inlay work to the middle sized box. The gimmick is perfect and it works everytime with no issues or awkward moves.

These have been off the market for some time and I don’t know how many Viking have, but I would suggest that you don’t wait and go buy a set today. I should know, this is my second set and this time they are here to stay.

Simply Wonderful and Highly Recommended!
