I think this is a step down from Exact change in a "handful" ways. Size is bulkier. I feel like you are not left as clean at the end. The gimmick can flash, as it did in the teaching. Doesn't always work smoothly (can stick). It is noisier, or at least as noisy. Not every number can be named from 1-100 (even though the ad says a number "up to 100"), but rather only from 50-100. That is misleading at best. The "move" is a bit awkward and fidgety. Seems cheaply made, and is technically a couple of steps down from EC. It will work, but I'd go in a different direction for this type of effect.

Most that buy this trick will not use it. Mostly the few that do like it will review. I hated it. Wasted money. One of my customs is to see.te trick from beginning to end with no cutaways. Broke my own rule. The trick requires a prep. Not good for those that do spontaneous tricks for froends. Not recommended. Wish I could get my money back and so will you.

This is a strong trick, HOWEVER, the spectator must name a number above $0.50. This will not work if they name 1-49! It is a strong piece of magic, though, and you can pretty easily force a number above $0.50 in your patter, but I don't think that was extremely clear in the trailer. Many of you may realize that this is very similar to an effect by Gregory Wilson called Exact Change (pretty much identical). If you're looking for a strong piece of magic and you can manage your audience pretty well, this is for you!

Someone could make this work.

For obvious reasons no tight pants. Love the idea. Gimmick is bulky though and a little rough to deal with. Some of the concerns listed in previous reviews are of no issue if you adjust presentation slightly.

YES only over 50 cents but no problem. Use your imagination.

Can't ditch the gimmick? No ones looking in your pants, you are fine. If you truly performed a miracle like this you wouldn't have to strip naked to prove it to them.

You can get change MUCH faster that exact change, but this didn't work for me because of size and shape I suppose.

It is staying in the shelf unfortunately.

I try my best to refrain from writing negative reviews. I've tampered with this product for over a year before writing this review just to see if there was any hope for getting it working. Unfortunately, I don't think there is.
Let's go over the pros first:
- You are not limited to American coins; anything works!
- Nothing needs to be ditched (no sleight of hand is really involved)
- You can **supposedly** show your pockets empty!
Now, let's go over the cons:
- The gimmick may activate on its own when you walk around casually. I've had coins fall out of the device from everyday activities and strolling. Not too big of a deal, just double-check it before you perform. I'll let this one slide.
- You may have some difficulty showing the pocket empty. The method that is used can be a little risky if you don't have the right pants or you're not skilled with it yet. I will say, it works most of the time for me but just something to note. Again, not too bad; I'll let it slide.
- Depending on how shallow or tight your pockets are, you may hear a little clink every time you activate the gimmick. Luckily, this noise is justified because the spectator already expects there to be coins in your pockets, so, naturally, there should be noise, anyway.
- Now, by far the biggest negative of all, the one that makes this trick unperformable for me, is the fact that this gimmick is HUGE. I have yet to find a single pair of pants, shorts, sweats, etc. where you don't see a bulge out of the pocket. Honestly, I don't know if the spectator is even suspecting there to be a whole device in your pocket, but when the entire performance revolves around fixating the attention to your pocket, the last thing you need is an irregular outline showing. It even looks like Cosmo covers his pants with a button-down shirt in the tutorial, but who walks around the street in a button-down!!??! I can't imagine how anyone would wear jeans with this in any condition. Shorts barely work for me, too. I've seen the performances online of this trick and it doesn't actually look too bad, but personally, it looks horrible. I believe others are having the same problem, too. Also, if you're a girl, I think women's' pants pockets are much less deep than men's pants. I may be wrong as I've never worn them, but if you can't fit nearly your entire hand in your pocket, don't even think about getting this. It probably won't work. Unfortunately, this is going to be going in the drawer. I'm disappointed to say that my favorite part of this entire product is the packaging, which looks incredible and elegant (as do all Theory11 products, to be honest). This had so much potential, but I think they really should have refined this device to make it smaller. By the way, for reference, the gimmick height is comparable to the height of a deck of cards. Imagine the bulk of that in a pocket, especially with jeans. I know I shouldn't compare this with Exact Change, but the only reason I think you should get this over Exact Change is if you are using coins that won't work with EC. Other than that, I think the extra sleights and subtleties are work learning if you just get EC over this. Again, this is just my experience. You may like this a lot more than me; it's worked for other people, so maybe I'm just one of those rare cases. Regardless, thanks for taking the time to read this. Have a great day!

This trick is excellent. So easy to do, the tutorial is great and easy to reset! Doesn’t take up any space for me and I’ve fooled so many people with ease! Great product not sure why you wouldn’t get this!

I’ve had some amazing reactions from people with this effect there is no get ready after you have it set and it looks impromptu and when they give you a figure it is so quick to do. Straight into your pocket pull out 5he change and ....pull out the pocket to show its empty. And when they count the change it is exactly what they guessed. I think this is fantastic. Buy it NOW!
