In all seriousness, though, this really is one sweet effect.. Granted, it's over in a flash...but what a flash.

...Or, as Rep would say, "The brightest stars burn the shortest" (blatant Blade Runner Quote, which I'm certain I've stuffed-up royally :roll: :wink: )

I seem to have manged the middle one with great ease and total lack of actual involvement. In comparison, the other two hold no fears.....

I'm really eyeing for this for the past coupe of weeks. Itching actually but the price is quite steep for the common tricks that I buy...being the cheapsakte that I am.

Upon finding out this thread, CUPS has been more than a itch...it's like a rash now. To think that I can just pick this up in the store about 2 miles from us carrying the old price is really a pain :evil:

I was discussing this effect again with a buddy from TM yesterday, and came to the conclusion that - although the price may seem a little on the steep side - given the impact of the effect, I'd almost certainly have been happy to pay double the price.

In terms of a completely impossible, in-the-spec's-own-hands, effect, this really is a beauty!

There's very few things that I carry with me 24/7 (Time Machine and Strange Travellers notwithstanding), but this never leaves my pocket :twisted:

:D

Just one last question. I've seen some of my buds in my home country doing it with the local coins. They said it can be done impromptu with no gimmicks. However, the videos I saw was done in their own hands. As far as I know, this effect can be done on a spec's hand right? Is this completely examinable after?

The effect is far, FAR better performed in the spec's own hands, and both coins are IMMEDIATELY examinable, both before and after the performance.

Hope that helps! :D
