I have always been fascinated with translocation effects which began with Coin Nests and Lippincott boxes. Over the years I collected the most practical sets on the market but somehow remained oblivious to the concept of gumball machines until this summer. Since then I have collected most of the commercially available machines with the exception of the machines sold by Collector's Workshop and Ray Lum because of cost. I acquired Joe Givan's, John Sterlini's, Ray Logan's and most recently Buzz Lawrence's Magi-Chine. All of which are slightly different but work faithfully and perform wonderfully.

I must; however, give credit where it is due and offer accolades and praise to the Magi-Chine for the subtle yet noteworthy enhancements I recognized immediately. After removing the top, I discovered a swiveling handle which makes lifting the globe and accessing the coin bucket a breeze. Also, the side panels on the globe can be slid out and removed for convenient cleaning. Finally, it is the only machine I own with a removable gimmick allowing it to be easily converted from a magical stage prop to a standard operating vending machine in mere minutes. I love all of my children but if you are shopping on a budget, this rendition might be the best value for the money without sacrificing quality. I am very happy with the purchase of my Magi-Chine and cannot say enough good things about it. Comes highly recommended.

I have tried a few of these. Buzz nailed it by using a standard machine (so you can get parts if you need them) and having it professionally modified. It works every time and being able to set it to the 1st, 2nd or 3rd capsule really adds to the flexibility and suspense. Buzz is great too and stands behind his product. You can't go wrong with this one.

I picked one of these up recently, and I will say this is an extremely professional well built prop! The price may seem high, but your getting a quality prop, built into a real gumball vending machine. I can't wait to use this in my show...I am sure it is going to wow the audience!!

Great Quality, and a variety of effects can be accomplished with this!

I highly recommend Buzz's Gumball Machine. Received great results from many shows over the last 2 years.
Never had any problems or concerns with this device.
I know Buzz is quickly available for any technical support. He made sure all is good and wants to maintain a high degree of customer service.
