From those that have tried the various stickers, I'm curious how the stickers of coins such as the English penny look?
Specifically, I wonder if they look too flat or 2 dimensional? Real coins are 3 dimensional and have some relief to them. I suppose if you were to just flash it just showing the opposite side for a moment it would be fine, but usually you are holding it out for a short time if you're ostensibly displaying an entirely different coin. Just wondrin'. I actually kind of like the Chinese coin sticker because that is just a "made-up" coin anyway, and no one really knows what it should look like. Same with not having an actual hole in it. If you're not using any coins that do have holes in the same routine, then nobody but magicians notice the lack of a hole. I also like the Chinese stickers because of the way they pop when you first see them, the contrast is great in any type of lighting. But having said that, it is always fun to play around with new stuff and experiment. I know the stickers are cheap and I will probably get some, but just wondering how others have liked them. By the way, that optically clear teflon tape is fantastic. I have been using it for many things. It's great for adding slippery-ness and cutting down noise. I even use it on ungimmicked coins such as 3 Fly because it makes them absolutely silent and so smooth. You no longer have to use soft coins to avoid having them talk. And you totally can't see it, completely invisible. Plus, works a treat inside of shells and so forth, it is extremely thin yet very durable. I really can't see which coin I applied it to on my DFSTC. Thanks, Bill |

Great collaboration from others on this very interesting thread.
I am waiting on stickers. Went to Home Depot...1 1/2 inch fender washers @ 25cents each. They have a 3/8ths inch hole in the center (smallest they had). Just thinking, this actually has some interesting potential when applying chinese coin stickers with simulated hole in the center. So hole punch the sticker and apply it to the fender washer and it goes right thru like an actual chinese coin with a hole in the middle. So when used with the STC you have a chinese coin that sticks to STC.....have to mess with this combination when stickers arrive.....just sayen that blanks are a great find but don't ignore the center hole in the fender washers for different combinations and magical effects....looking forward to messing with this when materials are at hand. As for the two dimensional effect of some of the stickers...there are several stickers of copper coins to choose from with a clearer and higher "relief" than the English half penny...look carefully at them before choosing. chuck

Don't forget guys laymen are looking at these for maybe a few secs per coin. They are not being handed out for examination. The coins are appearing vanishing color changing jumping from hand to hand. So much to keep track of for a spectator. They are not going to notice anything. Magicians on the other hand will know right away that your not using a real coin. But we are not performing for magicians. Maybe some of you are thinking :really stickers instead of coins how cheap!: but you know what if it works it works. Don't knock it till you try it. I've been frying people with this custom set and making a couple more. DFSTC was a great spring board to get this started but this is just insane.

Yup, I agree. I isn't about the objects per se. I could be walnuts or candy pieces or any small object at all as far as the spec is concerned. Its about the quick vanish, or production or color change that grabs the spec.
Much of the fun here is in the experimentation with a lot of different set ups for all kinds of interesting possibilities and eye candy. After they have their materials, I hope those interested in this thread share some of the results of their experimentation as jconstantino has done.

In theory you could use the "create your own sticker option here...........
http://www.zazzle.com/design_your_own_st......39857343 and just shrink the image down. Now I don't know how small you would have to shrink it to get it right. Too small or too large and your screwed. I found this site after days of searching (not kidding is was days) so someone could find another sticker site that will do custome sized as well. This obviously isn't the only site on the internet. Let us all know if anybody figures it out. I'm mostly a dollar size fella myself. But I do own a half dollar STC I'd like to customize. BTW my poker chip stickers came in and they look sooooooooooooooooo real it's ridiculous. I'll post another youtube video eventually showing that set and another set I made.

Ok guys another video. This one is performance only. http://youtu.be/LZ9Y6hlV2V4
This is just a tiny not of what you can do with a custom DFSTC set. I have another set like this one but the three indifferent coins are actually a red blue and black poker chip. Same routine though.

Thank you. It needs polishing. I just wanted to show how visual and versatile this set can be.

My sugestion for the stickers, is to use them with replica Morgan coins to create a sun & moin coin set silver/casino chips or other combinations. Or use the replicas coins as blank rounds for multiple use.

SIDE NOTE
I've noticed that these stickers tend to where out a little bit around the edges. They start to scrape away a bit and look white all around the edge of the coin. This is after extensive use though. But the sticker packs come in 20's so I think I have plenty should they need to be changed out from time to time.

No this is only if it is sticker to sticker surface with no tape in play. I'm awaiting my 1.5 inch CS Hyde tape. This will not be an issue once all my coins are taped.

I trim off the edges with a penknife, so the white part doesn't show.

I not talking about the sticker overlapping and being seen from the front of the coin. I trim the sticker if there is any overlap as well. What I'm talking about is the sticker face itself starts to wear away after being rubbed over and over when sliding the coins apart.
