I too have a nice little extra to add to the bend.....

rather than using the extra gimmic you can get for coinvexed...

when the specs holding the coins if you place a hand either side of theirs in a "clicking finger" position and do a click onto their hands, its makes the coins jump.......

every spec Ive done it to say it feels ace and like the coins actually bend then!!! ...a few of my mates I try stuff on said it feels really weird!

Regarding the price of Coinvexed, I am an "AH" but I will still be getting this. No, I'm not paid to perform magic like some of you are, but this has never stopped me from purchasing effects I like the sound of (within reason!) And seeing as I have been keeping my CUPS more or less in check in recent months, I think I deserve to splash out on the odd occasion. :D

This looks very good to me, i have had coin benders in the past but they were not the best. This seems ideal

I did Coinvexed four times at a party last night and each time it went down a storm, I really love this.

Although I tried to make sure that I didn't perform it to the same person more than once, there was one guy who saw it twice. He was determined to find out how it was done yet even on the second go he completely missed the 'magic' and instead burned my hands while I was doing all the 'Reiki' stuff... made me smile!

Bizarrely, on all four occasions the specs chose the 2p... unlucky I guess!

Is the bending easy to do?
I mean, there's not too much strain involved for a frail individual like me?
I have used other methods and the bending takes some straining. How discreet is the gimmick?

When I first tried it at home I thought it was going to be tough but once properly set up it does get easier. Children and old ladies may struggle but most adults should have no problem. Last night I found it easy and barely thought about it... but a few glasses of Pinot Grigio Blush may have helped...

They say it is 'concealed in full view', I can't improve on that description. There's no tricky palming, the gimmick is held naturally in your hands and, largely due to the routining, specs just aren't suspicious and don't see it.

How much does the coin actually bend? Are we talking ninety-degree bends here or just a slight curvature?

EDIT: I've just watched the demo video, so it's answered that question.

Regarding the 2p/10p thing, can you eliminate the need for a choice by just taking a 10p coin and bending it? Sorry for all the questions; I'm definitely getting this but just have to wait until pay day.

The coin can bend more or less if you wish. and you don't need a 2p to be in play, it's just part of David's presentation.

It's a tempting thought but Reviews as a result of freebies wouldn't be as impartial as if the effect/item were bought in the normal way. :wink:
