Has anyone else found that the bend is harder to achieve than CV1?

Yes, because theres less surface area to work with.

If your routining is good though, it wont make any difference...

Try working out!!! Put a bit of muscle in your hands and you'll be bending no hastle. Screw it, lose the gimmik and just bend with your bare hands!!!!!

I agree that the upgraded half included in CV2 was the next logical step & would be the obvious way to improve the handling of props but I don't think it's worth the price. I realise it has to be more than half the price of CV2 as a whole but for someone who has CV1 I didn't feel it would give me £45 of improvement.

Going back to the surface area point, this was the first thing I saw when David performed it at Blackpool, he seemed to be putting much more effort into it for a slightly less bent coin at the end.

On a side note I wondered if the difference in pressure upon the coins sides meant that the coin bend in a less symetrical way. If anyone has any thoughts on this i'd be interested.

call me old fashioned, or even awkward...

but whats wrong with a good old fashioned bit of bobo and some pre-work put in eh?

always carry a pre-worked 10p from 1992! that's what i say...

i've nearly bought coinvexed a million times, but...i just can't do it...

I totally understand but recently (last 3 years) more new 10ps have been manufactured & asking to borrow a 10p has become more & more risky. Especially now the new back design has come into play.

I just think that signing the coin dismisses any ideas of switching it from the participant's minds. I started off with the Superman coin bend 3 years ago but Coinvexed blew it away in every possible direction.

Because they have signed the coin!!! That's what makes it so strong.

but you can get them to sign a pre-worked one too...that was kinda my point...

I have seen a bent coin routine that used just a bobo switch, no signing or anything like that, and it was 10 times better than any other version I have ever seen, including coinvexed.
