do you need to pull out a stack of coins like you did with CV1?
or is it cleaner than that?

You need to bring out one pile of coins as opposed to two, thus making the effect more logical, and making pocket management a lot better

The thing with a sharpie is its pants for writing on coins with, Ive always Coinvexed with a D-70 permanent marker, the ink dries faster and doesnt rub off, Ive found that a sharpie just doesnt write on coinage that well and takes longer to dry....Oh and in regards to my old post, I sorted the bend out so its easier, have just changed the handling slightly, so am bending with ease now....

Thats strange, ive never had that problem with using a Sharpie on a coin. Other markers feel scratchy on the coin but a sharpie always flows.


Would be interested to know your improved handling on this if you wouldnt mind sharing...

I've been using "brute strength" by Robert Domenech, which is one of my favorites, but have been having increasing problems with new backed style coins.

I was looking at superman, but from everything I've read, I've ended up in two minds...coinvexed, or coinvexed 2??? And without knowing what it is, its fairly hard to persuade £85 out of me...anyone have any advice between the two?

I put my order in for this but unfortunetly for me I live in Ireland where Euros are not as effictive for the trick.I Measured an english penny to a 5 cents euro and they are the same thickness with the 5 cents having a bigger diameter.

Could someone let me know if a penny bend is possible and if so with how much ease?

Cheers people

It's possible, and easy

Thanks Kolm you've put my mind at rest

I've been bending coins in Spain, France, Germany, Portugal and Italy for a few years now, you can easily bend the following....1 cent, 5 cent, 10 cent, 20 cent and 50 cent coins no problem, it won't work for 1 and 2 Euro coins, but it can't be used for £1 or £2 coins either! All UK coins bend easily except for the two mentioned.

Thanks Gary

I've been reading everywhere that it was only possible with 5 cents and that 10 cents and 20 cents were a struggle with 50 cents being near impossible.I'm not pushed on bending 1-2 euros anyways as They'd probably be rendered useless once bent.

Do you use coinvexed Sharpie edition or the original coinvexed?

I use Coinvexed 2 Sharpie Edition, I wouldn't go anywhere without it, the best version for coin bending for the price.

The original version is very good but the sharpie gives you more freedom and more cover.

I have several routines for this, all just using one coin, each routine has many built in mis-directional moments so you can just concentrate on the presentation.

Just got this today and I have to say it's a fine peice of kit.I haven't actually routined it for anyone yet but it seems pretty easy to perform and execute.

The only snag I have with it is that it leaves marks on nearly all the coins I bend.If I bend just a tad it's generally clean but if I go for a 35-45 degrees both gimmicks leave a bit a mark.Now I don't have a problem with this at all if my spectator doesn't but I could imagine them suspecting a device of some sort even though they didn't see one in play.

Anyone else have this problem?Or is it even a problem?

When I perform this (almost daily) it doesn't leave any marks on the coins, it's probably due to the newness of your Coinvexed and not being fully broken in just yet. You will also experience your palms aching too, this is due to using muscles you wouldn't ordinarily use!

If you have any questions or run into any problems just give me a shout, I've been using this for a few years now and it really is a reputation maker!

Thanks Gary

I've solved the marking problem.I put some electrical insulation tape in the gimmick where it would make the mark.This makes it look no different as it's black,makes it no harder to bend and above all has completely eliminated the problem.Thought I'd put that out there cause it seems a lot of people have the same problem as me with the marks.

Practicing Ive wasted a few euro but I've only tried it on my sister to which I received a lil scream when she saw the bent coin and that is saying something coming from a family member.My presentation isn't really established yet for the effect.I'm keen on the one coin variation but the trick does require quite a bit of misdireciton.I've seen versions with one coin that use a notepad very well for misdirection but I think there is enough fumbling around the pockets with this trick without bringing a notepad into play along with a handful of stuff.

In a nightclub I could imagine bending it right under their noses with no misdirection as nightclubs and pubs work as misdirection in themselves with so much going on.

I can see this absolutly killing and being a regularly requested effect.As Rufio has said that if there was one trick he had to take to a desert island it would be Coinvexed.

Thanks again
