Thanks for the review, dsalley13. Sounds very exciting. Without revealing too much, can you tell me the difference between the half dollar and the copper silver edition? Are the effects different? Then there's the Ike. I assume it would work the same as the half.
Thanks, Sammy

Before that review I was skeptical. I might have to check this out now. Thanks again

I just put a little tip in "Secret Sessions" that you will find very helpful in using the TANGO T.U.C. coin/gaff, especially if you keep your coins brightly polished. Here's the link:

I just received my TUC and I lvoe it. I'm already starting to assemble a multiple-illusion routine based on some of the ideas on the video.
One wish- I do wish the demonstrations on the video were a little slower. I'm VERY impressed by how fast and smooth you are with the device, sir, but it makes it hard to try to emulate I also have a question... which I need to ask in a way that I don't reveal anything. So here goes... My gimmick appears to be mounted a bit off center such that it works *very* well when I squeeze at one side but not well at all when I squeeze at the other. Is this on purpose or do I have a defective unit? Quote:

I checked mine and it's dead-on in the center. You should ask Mr. Tango for some help.
I don't think what you're describing is how he wants us to have them. Sometimes employees don't do things the way the Boss does. When his small factory produces a few thousand of these, he can't personally check each one and still try to stay on top of all his other projects. Tell him how yours is working. I am sure he will take care of it. He needs the feedback anyway, so at the next employee meeting he can tell the quality-control guy to shape up or be replaced himself. dsalley13 |

Hello Ciberqat,
Thanks for your words about T.U.C About the magnet position, is the same if it is exactly in the center or not, I'm sending to you a private message where I give you instruction to adjust the coin as your preference. Bye. |

Sorry for the wrong advice. I didn't realize that the T.U.C. "adjustment feature" would take into account a not perfectly centered gimmick.

I just got mine the other day and it is very interesting. Many routines I can use with this even though I am concentrating on the three fly.
My one concern is that it will "wear out" if you know what I mean -DP

DP,
I sent you a PM. No worries. A rebuild is easy and Mr. Tango has just what you need to do it for a very low price. ($1.00 USD) dsalley13 |

Tango really seems to be in the News lately, with lots of favourable posts about their products. So I had a look at the TUC video in detail. The video runs a bit fast and is not the best quality. The effects look great, but sometimes the dollar coin looks 'thinner' than the rest of the coins. For this reason I have avoided the Split coin/Super coin. For those that own TUC, need I worry about this feature? Is it less preceptable for 3 Fly where coins are 'front on' than say matrix?

You can't set a whole "Split-Coin" down on a mat (at normal working distance, seated) unless the spec.'s angle of view is extremely steep. You'd need a very low table and have the specs sitting on normal chairs or standing. Otherwise, they will see the split that goes all the way around. You can easily do this with a T.U.C. at almost eye-level, no severe angle needed. The secondary part of the T.U.C. is thin. It would have to be to do what it does, but it can be easily worked around by not flashing the edge when it's naked. You can flash it a bit, because it has milled edges, but I would never lay it down next to the Primary part of the gaff or any natural coin unless I was working with a similar steep viewing angle as needed by a "Split-Coin". I move it quickly from the table so the spec.s can't see that the diameter is a bit smaller than normal. All of these things we have taught ourselves to do since we started using gaffed coins. I try to keep things in motion and that always has solved the problem for me. dsalley13 |

Thanks dsalley, that has helped me understand.

I think I might be using the wrong terminology. When I say the edge of the secondary coin is milled all around. I mean it has those notches (a representation of them actually) or little flutes(?) that enable you to grip USA half-dollar coins (quarters, dimes and silver dollar sized too). If someone will please tell me the correct term, that would be great.
Thanks dsalley13 |

Hello!
Just because I had some free time on my hands tonight. Lol! The edge runs around the entire circumference of the coin, and is the portion that has the reeding on it if it's a dime or quarter dollar. The edge is plain on pennies and nickels. Definition: The reeded edge of a coin is the series of grooved lines that encircle the perimeter of some U.S. coins, such as the dime and quarter. Examples: The reeded edge was originally added to coins to prevent clipping and counterfeiting. Hope that helps. |

Reeding! Yes, that's the word I've been looking for. Thank you.

My experience is that the secondary coin looks fine shown to people or on a table top.
What I wouldn't do (which I tried to do in my first attempt at a routine) is hand it to someone. My wife spotted that it felt a bit thin.

"My experience is that the secondary coin looks fine shown to people or on a table top" Are you referring to the dollar version or penny half dollar version here? |
