Good idea Douglas!
I store my QB 2.0 in the top of a checkbook case with a Sharpie along side it. Behind the checks is a great place to keep my Extreme Burn savings account ($606.00 cash for magical and other emergencies ) I can also store some coin gaffs and packet tricks behind the checks. This little package packs a solid 15 to 30 minutes of killer magic depending on the situation I need it for and also comes in handy for the checks too! Posted: Sep 13, 2010 5:57pm I posted this info on another recent thread, but thought it relevant here as I hadn't seen the main thread on the QB 2.0 yet really (I don't think): I think I completely underestimated the killer impact this has on lay peeps! Thinking way too much like a magician, I was soooooo totally wrong. I close all my close up with this now and for good reason! Finally, you just can't beat John's customer service. I'd buy two (because I try to have two of everything that I actually USE in my acts) if I didn't already know this thing will outlast a nuclear blast. Sorry about not getting something out sooner John as I've meant to, but better late than never. Thanks again for this MONSTER mini miracle!!! Best, Christian Posted: Sep 13, 2010 6:00pm PS. BEWARE of copies! I actually bought one (VERY reluctantly) from some choad on the Café here from South East Asia. Of course I'm sure if I mentioned a name, this post would "get bent" quicker than the QB bends a roll of quarters, but you know who you are and I have a feeling plenty of others do too thanks to John Sheets hopefully! Fortunately for me, John was able to identify the thing was a cheap Asian rip-off and the guy was trying to off it to fund a REAL QB 2.0 he'd just recently bought. Some stones huh? I just had no idea something like this could be ripped off, but like anything, I guess it can be in magic. I got MOST of my $ back before it shipped thanks to John's quick help, but he (the aforementioned Jagasaurus from Asia) still ganked me out of about $39 in PayPal fees he refused to refund. Just another good reason to deal DIRECTLY with the source! Huge lesson for me that I hope saves a lot of you "good guys" some serious grief! Thanks again John! |

I think it is only fair to put his name on blast to warn other members who may fall victim to his scheme. I would also like to echo the fact that if you are in the market for a QB 2.0, to deal DIRECTLY with JTS! His customer service is truly exceptional and will get back to you same day for whatever questions you have for him. I never leave home without my QB 2.0, best purchase I've made in magic EVER. |

Hi Guys,
Thanks for all the positive comments in my products and services. I am a "one man team" so it does mean a lot when I hear such great feedback. Yes, be aware of copies and cheap knock offs. If you are considering the purchase of a new QB2, I do suggest that you buy it from a reputable dealer, or directly from myself.

About carrying the QB2 around... I have two QBs, and original and a v2. The old regular one stays in my close up case for emergencies. The v2 I carry with me ALL the time. I keep it in the front pants pocket that does not have my keys and change. It still gets the paint chipped off after a few months. Since there is no heat on it, I don't worry much about that, and just repaint it every once in a while, then clear coat it. On the old one, I just wrapped it with clear packing tape, though I've since decided it didn't matter.

Hi,
About the case. I always have my QB2 in a pocket, so it's rarely in a case. At night I remove it from my pocket, set it on my dresser, then in the morning it goes right back into my pocket. I have recently found these leather cases of different styles and colors. I think they are pretty cool. http://www.lanierpens.com/pen_pouches_s/......odZwgAKA I have used this aluminum case, as it allows room for other props too. http://www.harborfreight.com/11-1-2-half......870.html I hope this helps!

Wow, only $14.99 for the aluminum case? Quite a deal!
I had the opportunity to see QB2 in action for the first time this week (I know, I'm late to the party) at the shop here in town, and it's a thing of beauty. This is very strong stuff, and the gimmick is a work of art.

OK so I was at a party last night and a magician was using the QB2 through the night. The effect obviously blows everyone away including me - I really want one now!
But the pricing - yikes!!! OK, I realize from reading here that most if all who own QB2 would gladly take this to their grave, etc etc...got it! So to my mind there is no doubt that this is worth every penny (or quarter) and I presume the $500 cost is more related to the very high quality of the gimmick, the uniqueness of this product, and the fact that the price will keep this out of the hands of most hobbyists like me! I can see that QB2 probably easily pays for itself in a few gigs for the restaurant workers. Any chance that Sheets will ever take this down a peg or two.. Sigh, I guess I may have to pay the piper as this one is too good to miss and the method of the bend is great.

I'm now in a position, I think, to be able to get one of these, but it says on the site that they won't be shipped outside the US.
I'll have to search dealers to see who stocks them. Unless any of you have a spare one you'll let go??????? Well, no harm in asking. But I won't hold my breath. Steve |

I miss the search function here at the Café.
Could someone PM the precise paint names I should look for to touch-up my QB2? |

Steve - where are you located? The one I saw was bought new by a magician here in the UK.

Hi Steve,
I would make an exception and mail it outside of the USA. Please PM or email me and I will help you.

You can find that type of case at Lowe's (it's a home improvement store) for around $20. I don't like them very much as everything inside gets tossed around and it feels flimsy.
I've used a "make-up" case as well which works very nicely. I'm looking for a small ATA case or gun case with the foam padding to keep everything from moving. Has anyone found one? In regards to the eyeglass tip I gave, I've also used the black felt cover that comes with John's Pen Thru Anything (the fancy version) to protect the coin bender from scratches.

Euro coins, exactly!
That's the only thing stopping me ordering. I need to know 100% which euro coins it will and will not bend. Anyone in europe can answer this, anyone willing to do a test if I send some coins? Also (maybe a dumb question) can it be used to bend keys? Steve |

I would be happy to test any foreign coins that you may want to send to me.

I just sent some Euro coins to John, so anyone wanting to know for sure one way or the other, Luca for example.
Watch this space. I find it amazing that no one seems to have tried it on a key! Steve |
