I've been looking on his page and it's beautiful work. The new US dollar turtle he has a picture of on the site is just so-so pretty. That's precision craftsmanship.

A bit of topic here maybe.. But thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Both of you!

Hello Everybody

Yes I can make the TUC with your coins, not problem, my personal email is marceloinsua@gmail.com

Sorry to say that NOBODY can make my TUC, please don't advise to ask my coin to other manufacture.

I'm hoping that someone will be able to help me. I bough a TUC in the quarter dollar in early March but it didn't come with any instructions or DVD. I tried contacting the store where I bought it but have not heard back from them. I went to the Tango website but my Spanish is more than a little rusty and the 'Translate' button doesn't do anything for me. I will be happy to provide proof of my purchase if needed. If anyone could tell me how to download instructions or get the DVD, I would greatly appreciate it.

Psychod. Try Marcello at the address he just posted. If that doesn't work. contact me ken@eversway.com.

I can send you some basic moves, handings and sample effect form "T.U.C. Appreciation" to get you started.

Hello Psychod,
We eliminate the DVD from the TUC set now and replaced for a link where we upload all the time more videos, contact me by private to get the link

Just a reminder that if you like the TUC the TRIPLE TUC is WILDLY more valuable! Check out this incredible invention by Mr. Tango!

I will be in NYC on May 3th to 7th, if some club there want to book me for a lecture or workshop, I will be available. I'll be there after give my third Penguin Live Lecture.

The Tango website is good, but I would like it to be texted to English as most of the talk is in Spanish. Or maybe I didn't find the texting button then scratch what I just said.

Mr. Tango has a special offer going for our Café community.

Check it out by Clicking Here!

Thanks Mr.Tango!

I will lecturing in Fantasma Magic in NYC May 4th, see you there friends!

I have to give Mr. Marcelo a quick shout out! I am the proud owner of a walking liberty triple TUC (thanks to the great offer that Steve Brooks posted here on the Café) and it is probably the best gimmicked coin I've ever handled! What it enables is amazing... and Tango's craftsmanship is great! I highly recommend the "investment"!

I had the chip version, but the weight was an issue.
Is that noticeable with the regular tuc?

Not sure what you are asking. Leaf or shell or combined? Too heavy or too light?

Since a spectator usually never handles the individual sections, why does weight matter?

What effect are you working on?

It was too light.
It wasn't really because of spectator, it was just difficult to handle because it was so different.
I'm guessing it won't matter as much in the regular coin because it doesn't have a shim for weight.

The biggest problem I encountered is when tossing the coin from hand to hand. That is, making the handling appear the same to the audience regardless
of any change in weight with or without the Leal. This is tough since our mind automatically adjusts muscle strength based on the weigh of the object to be tossed. I finally adjusted by faking the toss by dropping the coin combined with a body swing to catch the coin in the other hand. It appears to fly from one hand to the other but actually falls vertically.

The sound made by the various components may be a greater problem - a function of mass to some degree. It is good you are concerned over this issue. Too many performers seem to just avoid good effects because of an imagined problem rather that seeking a solution. One problem with coin magic is that the audience does have some experience with handling coins of various weights. The good thing is that they will accept some drivel such as, "One this coin is charged with magical energy it will seem lighter and warmer than before." or "If that coin seems lighter it means it is about to jump over to join the other coins."

I have the original style packaging with the old DVD, is the new downloadable instruction superior? There seems to be a more recently shot explanation with Dan Harlan on the Penguin listings for the TUC coins.

Hello everybody, happy new year!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
