I had a search on here for a review/comments but couldn't find anything - sorry if I've missed it!

Here's a link to the effect description:

Does anyone have this? I was just wondering about the purse - I am not sure it's 'me'. I mean, I do a lot of bars and pubs and I think it might look a bit odd me handing out a purse? I am not exposing anything here that the website doesn't, so it's ok to say there's a transmitter in the purse - but I wondered if there was any other versions of this out there?

Also, you can tell when the coin has been removed from the purse - but I don't understand how you'd be able to tell which of 5 spectators had taken it with your back turned from across the room?

Well tbh,

If after you see the effect you are having second thoughts about having it, you should stay away from it.

If you see an effect and are blown away and want it badly, thats for u!

£170 worth of trick for something you are not sure about is a bit risky, but only you would know whether you can see yourself performing this or not.

great product idea - but ...

I'm sorry to add a 'but'. The product looks impressive and I can see lots of potential.

I got mine a couple of days ago (in the UK) - I was told it was an item from Christopher's demo stock; I guess that explained why the AAA batteries were missing. I set it up and it worked very well.

When I tried yesterday, I couldn't get it to work. I had removed the batteries, as advised and I reinstalled them but the item still didn't work. I increased the intensity button - but that had no affect. I also tried new AAA replacement batteries without success. I am careful how I handle delicate items - but my fear is that this (delightful) product is rather sensitive and fragile (I have schoolboy memories of solder joints coming unstuck).

I would love to use this product but, right now, don't have confidence in its robustness - so I've sent it back to the Uk supplier.

If Christopher sold the transmitter contained in a firm case (to hide in any bag or wallet), then I'd buy it like a shot.

I have this its nice and does do the job well, you know when the coin comes out no problem even on the other side of a room etc.

He did do a more modern looking purse but has none left as i did ask.

The effect is good if this is what you like but having had this for some time its not the most amasing thing you could do for someone. I tend to use this if I have done all my normal stuff and then go around doing something different.

The fact I do use this does make it worth buying so its a matter of making sure you will before you purchase.
