Please notice the offer of a free TUC effect as a Sneak Preview at
http://www.themagiccafe.com/forums/viewt......um=202&0

the "Coins Across" selection can use the new ShimSlip, SSES or whatever you call it -- or an old trusty Expanded Shell --

a completely different 3Fly type effect in which the hands never touch and each transport (6) appears different to the audience.

the "Copper-Silver" uses a signed Copper coin and the multiple Changes happen in the spectator's hand.

the "Quarter" is an incredible impromptu Transportation using change from your pocket.

the "Production/Vanish" is a lead in to other effects in which three coins are produced one at a time in spectacular fashion.

enjoy!

It seems that the Effect offered for "Quarter" can work with the Euro TUC also.

I was receiving some pm asking about the teflon circles for TUC and Slippery shell coins.
I want to say that we sell them and you can get them in your favorite magic store.
One very good tip for TUC is this one: if your teflon circle is damaged for the friction between the magnet and the metal, don't take out the teflon, put a new one over the oldest. 99 per cent of the times the coin works better with 2 teflon circles one over other.

Mr. Tango, funsway, or anyone, where can I get an expanded shimmed shell/shimslip?

You're better off waiting for the magnetic version Mr. Tango said he will begin making soon. For now you will do much better with a good exp. sh**l instead.

When Mr. Tango first mentioned that he had the slippery sh**ls I went and bought one of Tango's regular non-magnetic ones. Mistake. It is not very good - the heads side is way too flat, similar to Tango's regular exp. sh**l; not enough relief on Kennedy's head/face. Plus I hope they make the new magnetic ones a good bit deeper because the non-magnetic one that I purchased is too shallow and you can see the edge of the TUC much too easily.

We use new half dollar coins to make our coins, and the new coins has less relief comparing with the old coins.

I have the dollar size T.U.C and noticed that if it is not used for a while the insert is hard to slide off the shell but after a warm up of sliding the insert in and out a few times, it becomes much easier to do it. I also stuck a piece of tape on top of the magnet as suggested in one of the post.

Seems that the the magnet loses some strength while in use and then regains full force when it's idling.

Hello, little great news!
Tango has replaced my coins!
The new coin has even a german back.
Great! I call that great customer service!!
Very big thanks to tango magic!
And everything was quite simple, a photo and a mail was enough.
Many thanks!

The new coin is really fantastic.
Well made and accurate.
I have played for hours with the coin.

Highly recommended.

Dear Friends,

I want to remember you that I will be lecturing in Sand Diego July 11st, the day after IBM congress finish. I will be in Knoxville too July 15th. I will be 3 days in Knoxville at Funsway house, so if somebody wants to meet me I will be there playing with my T.U.Cs

See you there.

PD: I will take a good number of silver TUC in Morgan and Walking Liberty versions to sell in my lectures.

Offer extended

the feedback has been most helpful -- so, let me know which T.U.C. you have, get a special effect and drop me a line

If you or anyone you know is going to be in San Diego July 11th, be sure to attend Mr. Tango's 2 hour long TUC Lecture. It will be held at the same hotel as the convention (the IBM convention finishes the day before Mr. Tango's lecture).

This will be an INCREDIBLE opportunity to learn how to use the Tango Ultimate Coin. Mr. Tango will present the lecture and teach basic technique as well as these effects:

3 Fly

One Coin Routine

Coins through table

Matrix (with reverse)

Chink a Chink

Coin Through Borrowed Bill

I just received my custom made Morgan TUC. This gaff is blowing me away. I already had a standard TUC half so I already knew its workings and how useful it is, but I had no idea that it would make such a difference to get the Morgan version. I am so glad that I saved up to do it. The Morgan size makes all the difference in the world. It just works more smoothly, effortlessly in fact. I also requested a round m****t rather than square - I prefer it - and the operation is smooth as glass. I can see where the square might be helpful under certain circumstances (ie, if you do a lot of coin magic in the spec's hands), but for me, the circle works great.

Quite simply, this is the most useful coin gaff I own.

Another thing, Dealing with Mr. Tango was an absolute pleasure. Not only is he creating revolutionary magic, but he is humble and easy to deal with. What a combination!

Regards,

Alan

I second the opinion - we had some mailing issues and when the one Mr Tango sent me didn't come, he instead sent me another one - I am very pleased with it.

Mike

Don't forget to mark your calendar for Mr. Tango's July 11th TUC Lecture (2 Hours!) in San Diego. It will be held at the Town and Country Hotel the morning AFTER the IBM Convention finishes. PM me if you need details...

Dear Friends,

See you in San Diego, I will have a lot Morgan and Walking liberty TUC there. I'm really anxious to give my lecture there.

Bye

Looking forward to your lecture this week in Knoxville! Will you have any quarter size TUC inventory with you?

Yes, I have it.

I attended Mr. Tango's "Stress Free Magic" seminar last weekend. It was excellent! Mr. Tango explained several effects that are SO EASY to do using the Tango Ultimate Coin (TUC). The lecture/workshop was 2 hours long, and packed with great coin routines including Reverse Matrix, Coins Across, Chink-A-Chink, Coins Through Table, Coins to Glass and a killer Copper/Silver effect.

If you're not a skilled sleight of hand artist, you should get a TUC and learn these effects. Mr. Tango calls it Stress Free Magic, and it really is!

The TUC enables even beginning coin magicians to perform numerous effects that used to require difficult moves. With the TUC the handling is simplified, and there are no fast moves.

The TUC is a revolutionary new way to do close up coin magic. If you get a chance to attend Mr. Tango's lecture I highly recommend it!!

Ouch! It appears that prices have gone up for TUCs recently! Rats!

I purchased three of them when they were released and noticed that most magic shops online offered reasonable discounts on them. I just took another look at several shops this week and it looks like all are holding to the retail price or very close to it. I'll probably find discounts somewhere but I wonder if the dealer agreement now calls for a "minimum advertised price" for TUCs?

Jim

During my couple of days with Mr. Tango the subject of pricing, packaging, support materials, etc. came up frequently. Tango has not raised its prices, and if anything you should see a price reduction in future years on standard sized (available coins) but an increase in custom coins like a Morgan Set. It's a matter of producion efficiency vs. material/labor costs.

Mr. Tango does not dictate pricing -- don't know about Murphy's. The fact that people are hanging onto their TUC's may have an impact, i.e. dealers are not competing with a used TUC market. If the idea of "Keep on TUCing" support/mentoring groups catches on that may be a source for TUC's where people are "moving up" to other models.

Hi Ken!

I should have made my post more clear: I was referring to the prices that most online magic shops are charging. For a few months after the initial debut of the TUC all that I visited offered their usual discounts. Lately though the shops' pricing is either retail or just a tad under retail.

Ken, quite often creators dictate a MAP - Minimum Advertised Price - which sets the prices a retailer must adhere to, at least in their advertising. See this link for an example: http://consumerist.com/2007/09/what-is-m......ice.html

I wasn’t stating that this has been done with the TUC, and I didn't say that this was fact and that Mr. Tango has such a policy; I said "I wonder if the dealer agreement now calls for a "minimum advertised price" for TUCs" in my last post.

When you see prices for a certain item suddenly appear to be the same at various shops it crosses one's mind. At least this mind!

Thank you.

Jim

And by the way, this won't keep me from purchasing more TUCs - I still haven't picked up any TUC Quarters and I do want a couple of those, along with at least one Ike TUC. What IS stopping me for now is very simple: my available funds to spend on magic. Most has been going toward more magic books lately.

I'll get 'em sooner or later.

Thank you.

Jim
