I absolutely love this new version because it's made using a sturdy aluminum tube which should last a lifetime and like the original which was made out of cheap plastic I also like that you can use your own custom coin as long as it's the same size as a half dollar I use a really cool half dollar skull coin that I also bought right here on Penguin Magic it looks just like a Kennedy half dollar except Kennedy's face is a skull face which looks really cool and it's the same size as a normal half dollar so it works great for this effect the effect is fairly simple to master and seems impossible everything can be examined before and after which is also great it's more expensive than the original version but in my opinion it's better if you want to have something that will last a lifetime and looks better displayed on a shelf when you're not performing the effect you can put a candlestick in it and it will look like a candle holder LOL all in all great effect worth adding to your collection

Watch out. Move slow or this could potentially talk at the wrong moment. If this ever happened with the old coin squeeze trick, if you performed on a mat the noise would be minimal, but with this, the coin travels quite a distance, and resonates in the chamber. It's hard to recommend this product. The concept is beautiful, but not new.

It is a Excellent Close-up/Parlor Magical Effect. I do Highly Recommended!!!
