Can someone explain to me what exactly this is. I know its gaffed coins but I'm confused as to the terms. Do they actually LOCK in place and thus you can hand it to a spectator and they wont spin on each other? I get confused with this stuff.
Also, is there a Slippery Sam gimmick that locks in place? If anyone can shed some light on the subject, please let me know. Thanks. |

It would get pretty tough to explain in detail without exposing things, but I can answer you that you cannot hand it out to a spectator. Also, the first item and the second item you ask about are essentially the same thing, except that a Slippery Sam gimmick is used to create a color change.

Slippery Sam is a Steve Dusheck item composed of two gaffed coin sets which permit a startling two handed double coin change almost like the single coin change in Steve Dusheck's Ultimate Copper Silver Transpo that comes with a similar non magnetic/shimmed single gaff. The locking feature is not part of either Dusheck gaff, and does not permit one to put a nested gaff in a volunteer's hand safely. Any more detail would put this in "Secret Sessions".
...to all the coins I've dropped here

I have just finished the draft of the instruction booklet on a set of the above but made in real Casino Chips. In addition, Porper has designed and made a beautiful FOLDING chip and a FLIPPER in chips... others in the works... STAY TOONED.

I actually have the original Dusheck routine and gimmick. I believe it was a
copper/silver routine with the gimmick being the English penny. Did ask about it's worth, if any and got no replies. Tom |

It's not worth much, aside from how great a gimmick it is. I recently saw one on ebay go for $8!
If you wanna sell yours let me know |

I too was curious of the locking sliding shell. Is it in fact used as other shells? or can it be?. In I believe your review Dan of Corey Burkes coinfusion production you believed that he was using the locking sliding shell. Though Corey did not mention anything of the sort in his explanation, other than it being a shell in his alternate handling. I can see how usefull such a tool could be after working on the production with my Deans set.

Sliding shells are really best suited to un-nesting at the fingertips, or in Duscheck's routine to steal away with the fingertips. It is best used with coins held in your hands. The sliding shell is not terribly deceptive when un-nested unless viewed straight on, though it can withstand flashes from the sides. I personally would not put it on a table. Nesting it at the fingertips is also quite easy, though nesting a regular shell at the fingertips is not terribly hard either.
So if you have some type of routine that needs to be un-nested at the fingertips during the routine, then it is a good choice. For all other types of routines, I personally perfer using a regular shell. Geoff Latta teaches a technique in his "A Trick with 3 Coins" routine that also allows un-nesting of a regular shell at the fingertips. |
