THE PERFECT WEAPON FOR EVERYDAY CARRY

Split Focus is a visually striking coin routine that looks like a Hollywood special effect, where three silver dollars appear and disappear over and over and over.

To look this good, it should take 10 years of arduous practice - unless you have the precision-made gimmicks, which do all of the hard work for you. In fact, the most difficult move is a simple false transfer!

Split Focus comes with everything you need to assault the senses of any audience at a moment's notice:

  • Three gorgeously handcrafted gimmicked coins
  • Online instructions for both two and three coin routines
  • The secret "retrieving/ditching device" to start and end perfectly clean
Also included is an arsenal of 14 original routines by Gregory Wilson and additional ideas by David Gripenwaldt and Justin Miller.

Choose between Eisenhower or premium-replica Morgan Silver Dollars to become a combat-ready triple threat.

Best Coin Effect On Market Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on December 15th, 2020
When I received this, I smiled and got right to practice. It is the strongest piece of coin magic I perform now. Not for the beginner. This is a intermediate to professional effect requiring practice to present smoothly. The Morgan Silver Dollars are of the highest quality that come with this. You even get a real Morgan silver dollar, nice coin purse and a money clip. Expensive?- Yes, but you are getting a precision constructed gimmick that will last forever with care and battle tested routines. It took me roughly 4 hours of practice to get this performance worthy in front of people. It crushes laymen. You literally make coins appear from nowhere and disappear systematically leaving people questioning reality and the time-space continuum. If you are a serious performer, this a commercial piece for strolling and parlor acts.

I have recently stepped back into Magic after being away from it for about 20 years. Needless to say in 20 years I’ve lost some abilities. But when I picked up this coin it made me both feel and look like I still have all my skills and more. The coins slide beautifully and silently together. They also position themselves back together perfectly. All I have to do is stand there and smile. Great product by Gregory Wilson.

Love it, but for the pacing (maybe?) Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on April 18th, 2021
Have you noticed Greg Wilson's speed of patter? I hadn't fully considered this before purchasing it for myself.

Watching the trailer, you should note how quickly Mr. Wilson says "look here, not there, there’s no coin here, oops, now there is, it's over here, but not really, this is nothing, now it's something, or is it..." He jumps through his routine so very fast, and he doesn't give his audience a chance to catch up with him. (His misdirection is practiced… and perfect!) He has a very dynamic and lively approach that fits in so well with his character. And his approach, breezy and nonchalant, lends itself to humor.

I myself use humor all the time, but I try to effect a more steady pacing in my performances, so that each moment of astonishment has a chance to register before I move on to the next phase. If you are considering buying this, ask if the style of performance suits you, or if you can adapt it to suit yourself. Important to note: I don't think these effects REQUIRE Mr. Wilson’s breakneck speed. But it’s worth considering if you think his delivery matches your own, or if you feel you can adapt it to your character.

(To belabor the point: Mr. Wilson’s teaching never considers whether we might want to have a more slow-and-steady approach. I’m certain I can adapt this for myself, but I hadn’t at all considered this before purchasing.)

Furthermore, this speedy delivery matches Mr. Wilson’s teaching style. The teaching is always excellent, nothing is left out, but he teaches his own speedy approach to the routines. At times you might think you wish he'd spend just a little more time covering a certain sleight or two. The needed sleights are the most basic, elementary essentials of coin magic. (No knuckle busters are taught or required.) Intermediates and up will be fine here. Even advanced beginners will be okay. But if you are a rank beginner, you might wish for more hand-holding in the teaching.

At this point I should add there are a few effects, such as with the coffee lid (the “bet your bottom dollar” routine) where speed isn't important at all. To my eye, it’s one of the best effects in the whole project, so you can certainly find something to work with here.

All that aside, I love this purchase. The coins are very well made. They have just the right weight in my hands. The way the coins “cooperate” with each other feels ideal, and I love practicing with them. So I do highly recommend this. But it’s worth reviewing the trailer to see if this seems like something that you can fit to yourself. (Full disclosure: I haven't performed it in public yet, given the pandemic. But I just can’t wait to get out there with Split Focus.)

The coin is really nice. Just like a real one with a little patina. Smooth and quiet. The instructions were very good. No problems at all. The overall quality of the package was excellent. I am glad I made the purchase.

This is quality coin magic Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on August 23rd, 2021
Greg Wilson is one of the most polished and professional performers you will have the pleasure of watching and learning from. I haven't purchased a single dud from him in my 20 years buying his magic effects. Split Focus is easily one of his best.

First, the gimmick. This is my first gaff of this type, so I don't have much to compare it to, but it is extremely well designed and engineered. I chose the morgan version because it's my preferred dollar-size coin. Thankfully, these coins look like the real deal, no cheap knock-offs here. After using it regularly for the last 2 months, I can tell you with full confidence that if you use this properly, no one will ever suspect it's a gaff. The pieces all nest together beautifully, it handles very easily and quietly, something I didn't realize how much I would appreciate until I experienced it. It also comes fully equipped with some high-quality leather companion accessories that quickly became part of my EDC. The coin purse is especially noteworthy.

The video teaching is Greg at his best, he's in high def and includes every angle and detail you need with multiple breakdowns. This is some of his most polished work to date. I love the main effect and there are a few other standouts, but I can't say I'll perform every effect he teaches with the gaff, though there are some terrific ideas.

The cons: I must warn you that the gaff does have a fragile vital component that you will want to check upon receiving to make certain it is intact. Handle it like an heirloom and practice over carpeted floors. There is also an adhesive non-vital component, so if you live somewhere humid, don't carry this in your pocket all day, carry it when you intend to use it.

The videos are only accessible on Greg's secure site and it appears they cannot be downloaded, which admittedly I don't like. It feels like they will never be a part of my library and could someday no longer be accessible. That's more of a personal issue though and doesn't really reflect on the quality of the videos. I understand the reason for it and I respect Greg as a creator, so I accept it as the cost of doing business in modern magic.

Even with those cons, this effect is still a 10/10 for me. Performing it after years of coin magic almost feels like using a cheat code. It quickly becomes effortless, like second nature, to use. If you know Greg, you know it's good, if you can afford it, it's definitely well worth the money. Totally satisfied with this purchase, can't recommend it enough!

This is what keeps people believing in Magic! Very well made props with complete instructions to help you get started right away but the possibilities are endless. This is priced right but could have been priced even higher and still be a bargain. I own and use some very expensive custom made coins and these are right in there with them. These are not for the beginner but in the hands of someone who knows their way around can be used to amaze anyone. Thank you Greg for providing such well made tools for us to work with!
