As always, another fantastic looking product from Rick and Copeland coins.

It reminds me a little of Johnson's minted, though I imagine the story is completely different.
I wish a complete presentation were shown in the trailer, just because I always love hearing Rick tell his stories. Smile

Hello tonsofquestions,

I watched the live stream earlier today and Rick does do a quick demo of the routine. I marked it here:

There are also a handful of good questions asked, for example if the materials are magnetic. Thank you!

Ah nice, thanks. I haven't yet had a chance to watch the live stream, since 12:00 EST isn't a convenient time for me to tune in.

That was a great demo in the liveshow. I particularly loved the inclusion/reference to corner pocket. Hilarious routining and knowing your audience. Smile

Turns out the similarity I saw with The Mint wasn't a coincidence. I'm glad it was an inspiration and it looks like a great addition/alternative plot. I always liked the blank coin, myself, but I see lots of fun combinations to do.

Not familiar with Mint but used to demo something called Gembusters back in the day. Recoil looks great! Can't wait for mine!

Very similar to Gembusters. Chad Long also has a variation in his lecture notes where a striped candy cane is rolled into a ball and then is flattened.

Yes! The Mint is an old favorite for sure.

The main drawback with that routine is how clunky it is. Also, very hard to pull off while standing up with no table.

With Recoil the props are BIG. I use dollar coins so everything is clear, the changes are more astounding, and it's great for one spectator and a group!

No worries my friend!
You will be able to add a few elements of the routine immediately into things you already do!

I cover this in the video; the routine is somewhat modular so you can start small and work your way up to doing the whole thing.

To the gifted Mr. Holcombe: We all owe you for your ingenuity with this effect. It will certainly inspire many similar things to coin magic.
Coin magic has been too "two dimensional" for a while. This kind of thinking and effect bode well for the future of
radical, unexpected and shocking effect. Just because you were willing to ask, why not, and how,,,,, so many times, I assume!!! thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rick, love the idea! I remember you showed it on YouTube a few yrs ago and I thought back then how clever to create a "Looney Tunes" moment with coins, with the coil segment. Nice work!
S.E.M. (The Sun, the Moon, and the Earth) is a sun and moon routine unlike any other. Limited to 100 sets, here is the promo:

Clever use of props. I will probably replace ball bearing with tinfoil ball. Just as plausible/implausible and lighter to carry around.

Thank you guys so much for checking it out!

If anyone is in Charlotte November 4-6, I'll be there for the TRICs convention and I'll have a few Recoil packages with me!

I bought this and think it's great. Fairly easy addition to any coin routine and the teaching method is a brilliant "new" way to teach, integrating written word and video.

Years ago I did coin to Klamm coil, which had to be rewiinded.
This is brilliant and wonderful eye & brain candy.
Thanks.

Wow! Thanks Doug!
I'm so glad you like Recoil and thank you for complimenting our unique teaching format.

Your book was integral to my progress in coin magic years ago, I always recommend it to people who are looking to go to the next level with their coin magic.
