Hi all,
Got this a few weeks ago and really impressed with the method.
However I personally feel that the glue dots are not strong enough, maybe its just the way im performing the bend.
Anyway ive noticed some people on here have used permanent glue and I just wondered which glue in particular is good and whether people would reccomend it.
Thanks

I keep the "Items" in my back pockets of my jeans and the coins haven't budged - despite my ample backside on them!!

Here's a random question for you all...

Has anyone else noticed (from the UK) that occasionally you get a 10 pence piece that is really hard to bend??! Not very often, I just seem to get one every now and then - so much so that it feels like it's made of a slightly different material?

:D

Yep, they are very slightly wider sometimes too which is annoying. One of the many reasons Superman Coin Bender was poor was that only some 10ps fitted into it.

.. had my fun but probably not for me

Don't get me wrong; it's a beautifully made product but my opportunities now seem to have moved away from close-up and I've got my eye on other things. I had great fun with this in small informal groups, but I need to reinvest. Anybody interested in a good deal, check out ebay in an hour or so!

Hi Waldorf,

Please don't advertise on ebay, try selling it personally on this site or other magic sites such as magicweek.
I personally believe coinvexed is too good to be advertised on such a site. Keep it within magical circles, so to speak!

fair point taffy but ...

Postby Waldorfcartoons » Sep 3rd, '08, 06:42

fairy point taffy but ... given the retail price of £80 plus, even with a generous second hand discount of say, 30% I can't imagine a non-magic-enthusiast wanting to splash that much cash. I'm not authorised to sell via this site so I'll continue down the private selling route. Thanks anyway - cheers- w

finally i got my coinvexed package
when im open the package and looks the gimmick
wow im so amazing with this gimmick

very clever gimmick

love this effect and i will add this effect into my magic routine show soon.

i think this one the best coin bending gimmick on the market today!!!

like this effect because this one can creat the illusions clean before and after the bend but you need misdirection for performing this effect
but dont worry when you buy this effect you will get teach how to make misdirection by david penn

gimmick hides in plain sight and no switching required.

btw this one too good to sell for public!!

Buy it, you won't be disappointed!And you will love it!!
