A Good trick, clever gimmick. Requires some coin skill, but, not much.

This is a really great trick and idea, the only flaw is that they have used a 2004 10p coin. These
coins were replaced with a new design in 2008. Whilst they are still legal tender it is now very
hard to find a 10p that matches the gimmick.
It is not a huge problem as the "tails" side
of the coin is not seen in performance but the newer coins are a different material and lustre
(newer coins are very shiny due to new material)
Going to try and find a matching coin but
so far I haven't and in performance when you switch the normal coin in it is so much shinier that it
makes it obvious you switched coins.
Other than that its great and look forward to trying
it out just wish they had used coins that weren't 18 years old.

Bought this from Roddy at Blackpool and i loved it. Do wish you had different coin options but
other than that it is genious.

First off I want to say this is a great concept, well made gimmick and solid instructional video.
The only reason this product does not get 5 stars is due to what I personally, see as a flaw in
production. Many may not be bothered by it at all and I myself will admit that the mark is not
severe enough to render the product useless. However, the second phase of the routine requires a
move, at the moment of the move within the the effect it is merely supposed to appear as if you are
adding another piece to the coin. At this crucial moment my gimmick forces the orientation of the
quarter to change making it impossible to appear as if the only thing I have done is add another
piece. Its a very small thing and although very few if any would be able to verbalize what they saw
the eyes see something. In any event great trick, if there are future runs perhaps this could be
noted as it seems like it would be an easy fix in production.

He's not got the easiest of accents to understand it takes quit a bit of concentration to get what
he's saying but it's a good trick in the long run if you can find a 10 pence coin somewhere. It cost
me a small fortune on ebay to buy one.

think this would be better for tv magic but its lovely made and very clever
I loved the effect in the trailer, but when I got the gimmick, I thought it was awkward, maybe made
wrong, and it wasn't going to fool anyone. It was the live performances and the teaching (Rhoddy is
a great teacher) that made me stick with it. When I finally learned the correct position for my
right hand during the final restoration (a little awkward, but looks fine to the eye), it really
clicked for me. People love this one. Takes some practice, but all good things do. Get it.
Nice effect. Easy to perform and well built. Not a strong routine, but still gets good reactions. I
included it with my every day carry. It takes up no space in my pocket so I always have it. The
gimmick will last for a long time. I gave it 4 stars only because it doesn’t punch hard enough to
have a spectator talk about it.
THREE BUILDING VISUAL MAGIC MOMENTS BUILDING TO AN EXAMINABLE CLIMAX
1. DIRECT
PREMISE...SPECTATOR IS CLEAR AS TO THE BUILDING EFFECTS
2. IN THE HANDS SO CAN DO ANYTIME
ANYWHERE
3. A NOVEL, UNUSUAL, INTERESTING EFFECT
FOR ME...PERFECT...AS I AM ALWAYS LOOKING
FOR POWERFUL NON-CARD EFFECTS TO BALANCE MY PERFORMANCES.
coinception by Roddy mcghie is a good coin routine that is not difficult to perform, but it is easy
to perform bad.the moves are not complicated,but you have to follow the choreography of the moves to
look magical.the gimmick is well made and strong
all metal,the explanations of the moves and the
routine are clear.Mr McGhie also give you a bonus routine like a coin bite that is great. my only
conplain is that more close up shots and over the shoulder shots will enhance the explanations,and
they were missing. strongly recommended
