My Comments:
Excellent effect, description above is accurate, though possibly not truly visually see it bend as such, though as I get better they may well believe they have seen it bend.

Great table hopping, street or really any close up situation. Pretty much angle proof. Your left clean using the well known method that requires a jacket. Since both hands are dirty it requires two thingies.

Better and cheaper than the boa coin bender in my opinion, in fact Coin Lover has converted his Boa to work in the same way as this one and ends up with the exact same thing as this is the boa with the pen removed.

If you have bent knives and forks then you will appreciate the extra power of not only bending a borrowed object but an object that can't be bent.

I give this 10 out 0f 10 for value
2 out of 5 for difficulty
10 out of 10 for effect
7 out of 10 for practibility, this is due to the clothing required, if your wearing the right stuff anyway then 9 out of 10

Hmm yeah sounds impressive, but the clothing constraints are putting me off...

Well maybe the Boa is for you then?

Are you sure that you need a jacket? Ellusionist sells that you can do it sleeveless.

Sounds good Toad now off to to order one.

You could do it sleveless but it makes it MUCH more difficult.

Ah...i see. Cheers

How is it with British coins? I read on ellusionist that the 10pence is a bit of a tight fit. I wasn't quite sure on how it work over here. Any comments?

Thanks.

I've done the trick with 10p 2p and 50p. Not been a problem for me.

I've also done 20p, so no there is no issue with any of the standard UK coins.

Ok, well that all being sorted, i think i may have to *invest*.

Cheers for that

Ben

Well I just got this and you guys must be strong, I have problems getting ..it out and hideing it in my hand then when it comes to the bend that hurts my hand...looks like i need more practice atm, and a 10p is a tight fit for me..
Just wondering where do you push to bend with the ....in your hand? Or saying that is that too much? As the end bit is digging into my palms..and it hurts

-K :

Yeah I find this very hard. Getting everytihing in place is fiddly and then you've got to be pretty bloody strong. I don't know maybe I have the technique wrong, but I think this is fiddly and not as easy as I had imagined.

Hiya guys. I still havn't purchased this and i was wondering... would a baggy sleeved hopody work or an open zip-upo in stead of the jacket? If not, how difficult is the effect without the jacket? I mean is it possible with good crowd control, misdirection and practice?

Cheers.

Ben

First, I am wondering about the clean up. How clean is it?
Secondly, Is it really angle proof?
