Just like any other magic trick, gimmick or not, this takes practice to master. Yes - there are slights that take some time to get down, but once you do it is a really fantastic illusion.

I ordered this years ago, and I am going to re-order because I misplaced my set of coins, but I LOVE the trick!

I personally think the coins are very well made, and you can even create your own routines - there are several possibilities for the creative magician.

The gimmick can become loose and bent with time. The coins look very old and are heavy, and are made for close up work. This trick/routine is way over priced. I got it on clearance for half price and that still seems too high for something that was hard for me to learn. There are so many sleights shown on the DVD that I got confused. I had to keep running the DVD back to get any of them down pat. Also the so called "miracles" are not as impressive as cheaper tricks such as Scotch and Soda, Hopping Halves, Legal Tender, or Holey Cow. Those tricks "blow people's minds" in close up shows or on the street but this one doesn't impress people as much.
