Why.So.Serious? New user 49 Posts |
The thing is that he runs everything all by himself. That includes making the gaffs, post them up on his blogs, answering phone calls, and answering emails. Nowadays it is much harder to get a hold of him, but it is still very possible. Anyways there will be more stuff coming out real soon though.
Plus he said that he is now trying to clear out old orders, so he could move on with the new projects. Not to mention that he just found out that his 27 year old daughter with 3 kids has cancer. I can feel his pain man. The bottom line is trying to contact him now would be much more difficult. Please give the man sometimes. |

If you want a particular thing, the best way to get it and the fastest is to send him a note in the mail with exactly what you want. Coin type, size, hard milled edges, soft edges, worn and soft faces or crisp new, antiques or uncirc, year of coin if you have a preference. . . EVERYTHING you want. Send him one page for each item you want. 3 gaffs, three pages. INCLUDE A HUGE PAGE ON THE TOP OF THE LETTER telling him to please quote you for the gaffs. INCLUDE A SELF ADDRESSED STAMPED ENVELOPE so it is EASY for him to jot down numbers and stick the thing in the mail back to you. IF you want it faster include a signed blank check! Tell Todd to fill it out. Tell you how much it will be. He is honest and he won't cash your check until he sends your gaffs. Sign up for his blog (info on his page) and engage with the people on the blog. Make friends. Todd reads his blog and values the magicians that contribute. Working with Todd is a process. And it is worth it both for the gaffs and the friendships. Todd makes me laugh more than anyone I know. He has a great and dark sense of humor. I'm honored to be able to have his work and there is absolutely nothing out there that is better or even comes close. I hope you find this helpful and if you cannot get ahead this way (although you will) feel free to PM me and I'll talk to todd about your needs. But go through the steps above first. Todd made me an original gold and silver dollar Hopping Half and I cannot see the triple coin gaff enough to know which side is up! He's THAT good! I have at least 30 of his gaffs and I'd buy a coin from Todd Lassen before I put money in a 401K or Mutual Fund because the value of his work appreciates and you get the magic and the investment.

All I can say here is that if StarMan gives you the "OK," then it's as good as gold. He's a really good guy with an awful lot of experience with Lassen gaffs and life itself, and not to mention, he's a pretty darn good magish, too.
Lassen's work is the gold-standard in this craftsmanship world of coins, really marvelous stuff, truth be told. So, while it might take a bit more effort nowadays getting a hold of Todd, the guy's work is really worth the extra effort folks may be experiencing. He's a one-man-band in producing his work, and the popularity of it keeps him swamped, perhaps even overwhelmed. Great for his pocketbook, but it can wear the body out, not enough time in the day. Still, StarMan's advice is good to take. And his daughter is in my prayers, as I know she is in all of ours here on the Café. Hoping the Greatest Magic of All watches over her and her little ones, and reduces the stress of it all in one of his most gifted craftsman. 🙏🏽

. . . And if MB217 says Todd is great you gotta believe him. Hes underground but has invented sleight of hand second to none. I encourage everyone who has not seen his CRIMP CHANGE to visit www.VinnyMarini.com ande learn it. IT is not easy. Even if you have good hands. But it is as good as a change can get. MB has heart and soul and a wealth of magic info. I enjoy my talks and exchanges with him immensely. Bottom line is Todd Lassen is being referred to all by the best of the best in this business. He is worth any initial "relationship start up" it takes.

Hi, Does anyone have Lassen's Barber stuff that you want to sell? I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask, so I'm sorry if I'm wrong
