As I do not own anything by Todd I really can't speak for the quality etc., BUT I do own a gorgeous set of Canadian Voyageur silver dollars with [, and it is top shelf. Yes, Roy has had a history of not responding to emails... like that matters once your purchase has been delivered. I'd put my set up against anything out there.
It's almost odd that pretty much anyone who owns a Kuepper set/coin loves to brag about it and how wonderful Roy's service is, yet we occasionally still hear how awful the latter is... |

I've just purchased a second hand Dollar sized CSB SET made by Roy so it'll be interesting to see what the quality is like.

I forgot to update I received my CSB set and have to say it is very well made although the copper coin in this set is a bit unusual ie it looks like a dollar size Walking Liberty coin made of copper.
That said it is a nice set and handles really well although I'm not sure if I will keep it as I usually only use dollar size coins for 3 fly type routines and the dollar size coins limit some of the usual sleights that I use but time will tell I suppose. |

I could send some pictures via email but I don't really know how to post pictures on here.

I didn't buy the set from Roy direct I bought them second hand off a UK magician so no I didn't make any special requests. |

I'm very upset. Last night I was performing with Kuepper's CSB and the df coin just split in two. See the picture attached.
Have you ever experienced something like that. Do you have any advice about how to fix them? Thank you . |

What do pro gaff makers use when they create double-sided coins?
Solder? Super glue?
For a supernatural chiller mixing magic (prestidigitation, legerdemain) with Magic (occultism, mysticism), check out my novel MAGIC: AN OCCULT THRILLER at http://www.amazon.com/Magic-Occult-Thriller-Reed-Hall/dp/1453874836

I have a Roy Kueppers Morgan CSB set for sale in the Market Place. Hit me up if anyone is interested. This set is top notch and never used.

Ask TWOCAN?
Super glue works but I think it's brittle and the halves could separate if dropped on a hard surface. Epoxy should work well,and solder if you've got the skills. The best methods can result in a c/s coin that doesn't sound "dead" when you drop it on the table or when it hits other coins. Quote:

I'm a fan of the 'Chinatown' concept and have made a few sets for my own use. After starting with various glues etc and finding it a little too brittle, I settled on tape. Believe it or not, it makes a gaff that is as solid as a rock, doesn't sound dead, and absolutely won't separate even if dropped. Plus if I ever want to change the insert, I can prise the two halves apart to accomplish this. Not saying it's the best way but it works really well for me. See pics below:-

I would like to try the double sided tape solution but there is some kind of residue on both halves that I would like to remove to make the surface smooth before applying the tape. At first glance it looks like soldering material but I've tried to remove it with my soldering iron and it doesn't melt. Any suggestions?

I don’t care much for the CSB sets being made with bright copper Morgan and Walker dollar sized coins. They have a cheap , fake look to them.
Much prefer the older soft sets made with interesting foreign coins or darkened replicas. |

perhaps it would be a good idea to remove the email option from his site so as to save confusion as most of us assume if you have a business email for your business that you would check the emails and reply to them.
