I think the trick is actuallly very good value for money. Ok, you only get a set of zinc washers as far as material props go, but the DVD is very good indeed. This is my second Jay Sankey DVD (22 Blows To The Head) being the first, and I cannot praise the guy enough for the amount of detail he puts into his explanation, and also the additional routines and ideas he includes with the effect. Lets face it, he could have spent less than 5 minutes explaining this, but he spends nearly an hour, and at one point, even goes into body positioning...the guy's a legend, and a credit to the art of magic.
The only slight criticism I have is that you never see the 'advanced' 6 points routine performed, you only get the explanation. A performance of this would have been great too. Otherwise, excellent, and as the others have said, simple, clean, does what it says on the tin. Also, a nice little trick that can be performed world wide, without looking suspicious with funny coins (ie, using a half dollar and an old english penny, like any normal person has both those in their wallets at any one time?), and a nice introduction to coin magic, for those who know little about it, or are put off by 'funny coins'. 9/10 from me, thanks to the impressive detail that Mr Sankey goes into.
