I have not read the entirety of this thread, so firgive me if this has been said previously. The issue is regarding the Patent Pending on the QB. I believe the rammifications of this have been misinterpreted, and perhaps by me as well.
My understanding was that a "Patent Pending" meant that the Patent had yet to be issued, and that the US patent office offers no protection for Patent Pending items. I believe this might be different in the UK, so long as the Patent is accepted. This is not a formality. I also did not think you could search for "Patent Pending" only Patents. And yes it is illegal in the UK, to claim Patent Pending. |

IMHO, in spite of Coinvexed-2 being a two part coin bending tool, Coinvexed-2 is going to be the ultimate tool for bending a coin in the face of the spectator(s) - at least for some time to come. I say this on two counts:- (a) One part of the tool acts as a perfect deception, while the other part is a perfect camouflage. (b) Immediately after the effect you have good reason(s) to pocket one part of the tool, while the second part can remain in the hand till the end of the effect. I must say that in developing this new coin bending tool some deliberate brainstorming & brilliant thinking has gone into. And with Coinvexed-2, I feel that everything gets beautifully synchronized & fits into place starting from performance, method, misdirection, patter (probably) and timing. As I have already mentioned in my previous post that I have no idea of Coinvexed-2. This is just an educated guess - but I think this time I won't be totally off track/ wrong. This is on my purchase list.

Awe, Doug can finally afford a good coin bender J/k for old times sake. This could possibly replace a QB if all goes well. I'm going to pick one up myself as well.
I'm guessing that this is a real time bend and only one coin is in play the entire time? No extra coins introduced or taken away? |

It is a real time bend and, if you like, only one coin needs to be handled by the spectator. I never had a issue with signing two coins, it was always the two hands full of coins.
It will not, IMHO, improve leverage much over the original. What happens: The spectator sees a hand full of change and a sharpie. Spec takes sharpie and signs chosen coin, or own coin, hands coin to magician. Signed coin bends in magicians hand (or their hand), spectator returns sharpie while shaking their head saying WOW. If you own Coinvexed and are still looking for a great bender but don't want to invest in the QB2 then get the upgrade. You won't be sorry. If you have the QB2 and arn't happy with it you won't be happy with Coinvexed 2 |

Ok, tpax, you've given more insight here. What I am asking really is, spectator's viewpoint:
Spectator takes out one of his/her own coins, I hand them Sharpie, they sign coin, I get coin back and do what I need to do, then proceed with the presentatio of the bend. In other words, is Coinvexed 2 as clean and streamlined as the QB? I've played with the QB quite a bit and absolutely love it for out in the open live bends. There's literally no other coin in play or in sight... ever. I also know the original Coinvexed but absolutely HATE the fact that I had to take out a pocket full of change or get a pocket full of change. |

I really can't comment on presentations other then what I've posted. It would not be fair to the guys bringing this out. I will say you can do a live, out in the open bend that, in the spectators eye, would look just like QB2. Because they are different methods they require different handlings to make them work.
Coinvexed 2 and QB2 each have their advantages. If you like QB2 and are happy with it don't get this. It will sit in your drawer. If you are looking for a good coin bender, wait until this is released before making your decision. |

Jaz2005,
Forgive me for not figuring this out on my own... I am an owner of the original CV and was looking to upgrade. When I visit the "worldmagicshop" site I don't see where I can order the just the upgrade package. Am I just missing it completely? Would someone please educated me on this? I would certainly appreciate it! Respectfully, JRRocha
