This is definitely something different. I like it because it is A really well-made gimmick I did purchase an additional English penny because I couldn't tell if this came with the English penny and a half dollar as this is advertised as a coin "Set".

I spoke to many different people from different companies even PM. Representatives told me that it came with one English Penny, One half dollar and the gimmick. Another person told me it comes with just an English a half dollar. The last person told me he just comes with a gimmick but wasn't sure. Well after receiving it, turns out you just get a gimmick.
For the price it's kind of sad because I feel like they can include a three dollar English penny, and a half dollar as they can be hard to get banks and there is a lot of banks in my county and they all say the same thing that they don't have them it's the kind of thing they get in randomly. I do have a couple of half-dollars at home and I ordered an English penny as I said with the coin set because I didn't know what to expect so I was able to do a few things with this N4 trick. I'm not gonna call it a set because it's really not. It's truly false advertising and I spoke to the company who makes it saying you should really just say gimmick included instead of coin set as it's misleading , Especially with the price you would think it comes with the coins needed to do the tricks do you see in the video. Maybe not all of them but at least the majority.

The other downfall is that the video you get is only six minutes long and I don't like long video tutorials but it's pretty short no audio but they show camera angles front and back which is a positive. The issue with the video is they teach only two or three different things you can do with the N4.. if you want to do more you have to have the N3 version in addition , and if you want to do some of the other routines they show you you have to have about 2 half dollars and to English pennies. So if you're like me and you have one English penny and 1/2 dollar and you get The N4, you can do about 2 to 3 different things really that's it. You can't really do the transformation thing at all that you see in the video where you watch him hold a penny in one hand and a half dollar in the other hand and they switch that's where you would need The N3..

Overall I'm not impressed. It is definitely a worker and it something I will keep in my coin pouch but I can't see myself spending $50 on another gimmick it's just not that strong to me. I think it's a great idea but for the money , I don't understand why they can't just throw in the coins to do the tricks. It is a Chinese company or was at least so I don't know if it's made in the US with this version. I'll probably be doing a lot of these concepts with sucker punch as that set you can do literally every coin trick you see that comes out these days because there's so much versatility with sucker punch. Yet it's not coins but I still like it more Because I'm a card person and it matches cards with all of the suits on the chips.

I would update my review if they were to actually advertise this right but the least they could do is put in the description gimmick included only or something along the lines of that because it does not say what it comes with. So if you are going to get it make sure you buy a half-dollar and an English Penny, if you want to do one more affect on the video I would get two of each. There are ways to do the transposition trick that you say and I explained that you would need the N3 Version however it's really a bit of a turn off the video because they're teaching you so many things that you get the trick in the mail you expect to start learning and you download the video but then you don't have anything else it's not even the English penny and a half dollar it's that they're pushing more of their products

So as I said not impressed bit of a disappointment but it's visual I think people will like it I wish I could do more I think that's really what it's about and I didn't have strong expectations it would come with everything because everyone didn't give me a firm answer nor did they know but maybe they will make a actual coin set One day. It is a very good quality I can tell you that and it will last a good amount of time. Hope this review was helpful
