This move is easily performed with the OxF.

I can also confirm that "the move" can be done. It's quite amazing. You can do that particular move and the [ pops off. However, you can flip the fl****r and [ together in the air prior to that and nothing disengages.

Hi everyone,

I have a question about the OxF gaff that I have; When the ex****** s**** and the f****** is nested, because of the magnet inside the f****** and the s****, I am not able to open the f****** when it is in the s****. The magnets prevent the f****** to open freely. The f****** needs to open when in the s**** in the first phase of Eric's routine while placing the nested coins in the hand.

How can I get over this? Do you guys have any tips regarding this issue? I can do the trick with the regular WL gravity f****** and an ex****** s*** that I got. But I cannot do it with the OxF gaff.

Any comments, experiences, tips?

Best Regards,

Atinc ZOR

The new Triception set by Mark Mason and Bob Swadling addresses this issue. It apparently includes a new m******c h*****t designed by Bob that allows you to pull the gaff out of your pocket in the "open" position. I should mention that the gaff that comes with the Triception set is very similar to the OXF.

I have the OXF and I have been considering getting the cheapest Triception set they offer for precisely this reason. Plus, all of the routines And handling tips will work with my OXF as well.

Regards,

Alan

I was having this issue when I original got my Oxf. It took a while to get the knack of opening the [/. Now I have no problem.

Alan,

The problem with using the holdout is that in the first phase of erics routine the oXf is produced as a single coin. The open display of 2/3 coins comes later in the routine.

kind regards
Sean

Sean,

You are, of course, correct about the oxy-clean routine. In Eric's written routine he solves the problem with specific placement of the finger and thumb and some "old school" wrist action. I assumed your pm to Atinc addressed that issue. I never really cared for old style f******s other than the double deception, which opens with a key, and I guess I have been spoiled with my gravity f******s. I know you have used the old style extensively and I wouldn't mind a pm from you if you have a clever workaround as I too have had some difficulty in smoothing out that part of Eric's routine.

My comments were more relating to the general difficulty of opening the OXF f****** while the s**** is on, the interesting solution that Bob Swadling has come up with, and it's applicability to the OXF. It seems like the Swadling method might be useful in creating some alternate routining IMO.

Can OxF be performed with a 3CF coin? I am worried about that second coin production with a 3CF being too sticky. Has anyone tried this?
