I'm interested myself. I'm hoping they fixed the major issue with their Hopping Half set, which would have to apply to these as well. For those that are curious, the inner, milled down coin had the edge group smooth and was a nice, bright copper. It just didn't look good at all. Hopefully these sets are better.
Yes, that is my real name. Yes, I am a real person. No, you probably won't agree with me.

I really doubt it. if it is what I think it is, I was working on something similar. But that's what the bobo switch is for....

OK I recieved these the other day and will give an initial review:
-Four in one set: 1) Quality of the coin : So we all know that this is a bunch of shells and a cutdown coin. Now tango was not the best name in coin magic, but I have to say I am impressed with the quality. The fit of the cutdown to the first shell is almost perfect. Not tight but you cant see the line. 1st shell to 2nd is a good fit as well, Not to loose. And 2nd to 3rd is the same. The thickness of the coin is pretty nice too. One coin + two shells = about one and a half coins thick. All in all I say a nicely made gimmick. No real complaints. Date matched as well 2)Instructions: You get a dollar bill sized piece of paper. Intructions are minimal at best, but in defense, I don't feel they really are needed. These are utility coins. No patter is given, One BASIC routine is included. So there is no Spectator is not paying attention patter.... 3) Bonus points: These shells don't just work with this set!!! Take away the cut down coin and shell and you have an expanded shell that works with any half. And then you get the SUPER expanded shell that goes over any expanded shell. Now this KINDA irritated me as I bought the Super Expanded half as well. But I can always use a spare!!!! IN conclusion you get three gimmicks for $100. And the gimmicks are not tied to this effect. Worth it? I think so. I should add that this review is for the coins I recieved. Your coins, should you choose to buy this, might be better or worse....Better would be a stretch though from a mass producer.... -Make the Difference: This purchase I sort of regret. I will explain why in a bit.... 1) The coin: Well made gimmick. No complaints. 2)Instructions: Once again the instructions are minimal on a slightly larger then a dollar sized piece of paper. HOWEVER, they also include a mini DVD explaining the routine and necessary sleights. It is in english albeit broken, its understandable, then the whole thing is repeated in Spanish. 2) Routine: The routine linked above is the one taught. Difficulty is Beginner to Hobbyist. I have not tried it out yet but it is in no way complicated. 3) Bonus Points: The gaff is not restriced to this effect only again. Can the coin be inpected? yes and no. Before -no. After - yes. Switch -no. Here is why I was not happy with this purchase: If you are a coin worker, you already have this. You are strictly paying for the routine, although the Gaff is included. And I find it hard to believe this hasnt been printed in a book somewhere before. I might be wrong but..... I do not totaly regret this. For the new guy: not a bad purchase at all! For the veteran: Nice way to update the gaff to newer coins and to try out the routine. I have bought a lot of coin items lately from Tango: Four in one set, Make the difference, Super expanded shell, Expanded shimmed shell half; and the new style Pull coin - The quality of coins are all pretty good for mass produced coin and the were all made out of 2008 halves. This might be an issue for some. Not for others. Hope this helps, Judah
