This looks cool but I don't currently have $70 but if it's worth saving for I will because it looks great!

It looks very slick, doesn't it. I could see myself buying this too but I'd need a review first to be sure.

Looks nice, but I can't see it replacing good old sleight of hand for me, as sleight of hand is impromtu, practical and still acheives the same effects. :)

I just wonder why it's necessary for TKO to come with both a book, and a DVD. It seems rather redundant to me.


EDIT: Edited, ironically, for redundancy.

got review from another forum...

they said "you MUST practice with it for 40 to 50 times to make sure you have the moves down pat."

Why not just practice sleight of hand?

You could say the same thing to anyone that uses a topit. Michael Ammar, for example...

Yes, I believe I could. Some people (Michael Ammar), can make it work for them, yes, but I personally have never seen the interest in spending a lot of money just to make things better for you. It makes no difference to the audience, and I bet a seasoned magician could do most of the things on that demo, impromptu, and for no more than the price of Bobo's Modern Coin magic. I see why you would need a TT, yes, because doing a french dr*p or similar with salt or a silk could become just a little bit difficult :P . But this? No layman notices if you show both hands empty at the same time, or if you don't do a f*nger p*lm vanish any time in your performance.

I may be wrong, but for me it just looks like another magician's toy.

I saw this today on the Wizard Product News; and thought it looked pretty cool. I have always been intrested in the topit, but would not suit my attire, and this seems to be just the thing.
I have tried coin magic several times, and I am aweful at it. This could be a very good aid.
Wizard Product News can be found here and has a good review on it (and a few more intresting items).

I have just ordered one on Alakazam (the wife is out and I'm on the wine - dangerous!). When it arrives I'll put it thru its paces and post a full review.
