Thanks for the review Jamie. We appreciate it. I think you were very honest and clear. It gives people a very good idea of what the product is. We have sent this to many independent reviewers and we should see more reviews very soon.
Without exposing too much the effect, I must say we wanted to create an older version of the coin to avoid making one to each state (that would be unnecessary) We have designed the gimmick to look like an older worn U.S. quarter with an older 1980's date on it. We made it with attention to detail. I'm 100% sure everyone will be very happy with it. Like Jamie said, it's not a trick, it's real magic. On the DVD we teach you several handlings to suit every taste, and you'll be surprised with all the ideas, tips, and routines we have for it. The DVD is 40 minutes long, and it covers everything you need to know. Plus, every customer has a 24hr dedicated lifetime support. We protect your investment, and we care about your success. Have any questions? concerns? suggestions? Want to send us a nice cold drink? We are always available to answer all your enquiries. Just drop us a line: eurekamagic@gmail.com Best, Jay Crowe

Ok, so after playing with my Elite and watching the DVD, and setting the coin up, which by the way is really fast and can be reset within minutes. I performed it for a customer at the nutrishop I work at during the weekends. I gave him his change and asked if I can use the quarter. I placed the coin in his other hand and coin started to bend, the guy was going crazy!!
DVD is of ok quality, jay shows you everything you need to know. The fact that many professionals use this, like Banachek and cyril to name a few says enough. 1 out of 10 I give this one a 9.. I am glad I bought it

Justin,
Thank you very much for posting your initial experience with this coin. Perhaps you could be kind enough to clarify as to how you were able to retrieve the Elite coin after the bend and after the participant was "going crazy." I am sure that since this person was so impressed with the effect that he would be extremely reluctant to give it back to you especially since it was his quarter that you were giving back to him as change to begin with and that he would want to keep it to show his friends. Simply saying something to the effect "here let me give you a new quarter for that bent one" I do not believe would be convicing. Your clarification would be a great assistance to those who would be presented with a similar situation after performming this effect. Thank you very much. Michael

Thanks and no problem I am only happy to clarify my above post. That being said, I never said I gave him a new fresh coin, I switched it for a bent one that he can keep. My customer who I did this for was in fact "going crazy" but with proper and easy spectator management he did not have a chance to examine and try to keep the coin. After the coin had a significant convexed shape to it, I took the coin from his hand and through easily done coin bending methods, I made the coin look like it was bending even more.
hope this helps.

I would be nervous that someone would pocket it and walk. I get upset enough if I lose a bite quarter, let alone a quarter worth hundreds. That being said, I look forward to more reviews.
The performance is what really makes it all worth while.

Greg,
I respectfully disagree. Proper audience management is key in this routine. It is not necessarily a true statement that if you do it enough, that eventually the spectator will pocket the coin and walk away. The difference between a great performer and a good one is that the great performer is able to engage and manage the spectator in such a manner that the outcome is always what the performer has planned. If the performer has excellent audience management, this routine can be done a million times (or more), and still the spectator will not pocket the coin and walk away. Regards, Mike |

I do trust you, Greg and I completely agree. But this could be a great opportunity.
Will someone clever person out there invent a system to keep us mere mortals from losing our gaffed coins? Please! I'm not worried about someone running off with it. I know how to stay focused and I will tackle them - male or female - if they try to take off with it. I'm the problem. I lose things in transit. I've managed to put a butt load of magnetized and double headed quarters into general circulation - also a few scotch and sodas. So I know full well I will lose this gaff if I don't take steps. So while I'm waiting for it to arrive from Hocus Pocus , I'm ready for suggestions from this forum. I need to be able to take this out of my pocket - no special container - use it and put it back in my pocket and know when I get home it's still here. |

Justin Lewis Special user 981 Posts |
Dan Hocus Pocus has them in, I received mine yesterday. And the container you can carry Elite in is so simple and keeps it safe and ready to use.. I have used this 4 times sense yesterday. The coin is very impressive to see bend.

Dan, do you not think that with proper audience management, you can prevent a spectator from pocketing the coin and walking away with it?

Place the coin in the spectator's palm up right hand, hold the spectator's hand with your right hand to ostensibly help hold the spectator's hand flat (your right hand also is holding a finger pa**ed pre-bent quarter, can prevent the spectator from closing his right hand, and is in the way of the spectator's left hand from reaching across), the coin bends, pick it up with your left hand, shuttle p*ss it to your right hand as you finger pa** the gimmicked coin in your left hand and grab the spectator's palm up right hand with your left hand, with your right thumb slowly push the pre-bent coin over the top of your right fingertips making it appear that the coin is bending further, and let the coin drop into the spectator's right hand, leaving the spectator with the bent coin as a souvenir. Casually drop both hands to your sides and pocket the gimmicked coin as you reach in your pocket for the next effect.
Pardon the incredibly irritating run-on sentence, but I'm typing on my iPhone and it's not easy to edit the paragraph for format. |

Thanks Larry. I like the way you think!!
