howdy, do any of you guys praise the boa coin bender, i had the superman but feel this didn't work for me, didn't like the handling

Hello

I bought the boa coin bender quite sometime ago and I sadly have to say I never use it.
The problems I have found is that the "gimmick" does not really fit a 2p and on a 10p it leaves a mark which I found to be very telling.
I used to use this when doing Morgan Streblers Closer effect and for this I found the Boa effective if you use some sort of protection on the coin in ealier preparation. As an actual coin bend to be done with a borrowed coin there in front of the spectator I found it very angle sensitive, fiddly and you are not left very clean at all (you would have to put your hands behind your back before you are left clean).
Overall I would say avoid but I seem to be in a minority as many reviews on other sites seem to give glowing accounts
