Will manufacturing them change the price?
|
|||||||||
Cosmo Solano Elite user Colorado 410 Posts |
I doubt it, as it's still going to take a lot to get it going, in fact I'll have to sell A LOT of them to break even. Making them one at a time allows me to make money on every one, but it just takes too long. It won't go UP in price because I think the price has to be based on the effect as well as the cost of production, so if it does still get too expensive to make I would rather keep the price where it is and make them myself.
With that said... I think IPC is as incredible effect as "Q" (249.00)! However it's a one trick effect, as great as it is there's a ton of things that have to be considered. Now if the price does change... If it goes down, I will refund any differences to all who pre-ordered. Including the difference for the discount so that you're still getting a "pre-order price) After discussions with the distributors and a few shop owners, as well as several magi at the convention, the price will most likely stay where it's at. I'll keep ya posted! |

I picked up an item recently from Wayne Dobson called Pocket Money. Not sure when it originally came out. It's an effect using coins of different sizes, from different countries. A coin is selected by the spectator from a group of six. All the coins are placed in the specs pocket. He thens has to pull out that coin last. He can't as it turns up missing and is found somewhere else by the performer.
I will be iterested to see what you've come up with.

I have pocket money, in fact I went up to say hello to Wayne, and the first thing he said was, whats this pocket coin trick you have? I was blown away! It had only been "released" for two days when I saw him. Just laughed and insisted I show him it, I happened to have it in my pocket, he never did tell me how he found out...
I showed him and he loved it! Gave me a quote: "I love it, but it makes me mad!" He continued saying he had no idea how it was done. He had me show Marianne (his wife) and she was flabbergasted, she said it was one of the best things she had ever seen! (I got that on video!) It was SUCH a huge thing for me as I'm a HUGE Dobson Fan and I know Marianne sees TONS of magic. I love "Pocket Money" it totally fooled me, and the key was that I picked up the coins myself! International Pocket Change is entirely different, in fact the only similar thing is the name. Wayne's effect is one coind disappears from the spectator's pocket, THEY put them in their pocket! IPC is any amount of change named is pulled from the performer's pocket. Two different effects, both (IMHO) great! I bought Pocket money immediately from Wayne, and I almost never buy magic tricks. EVER! I usually spend my magic budget on books etc. |

Cosmo,
I bought mine from Wayne at the SAM convention, but haven't seen it for sale anywhere. I agree it's excellent. I'll post my thoughts on it as well. I did recognize that your International Pocket Change was a different effect from Waynes. My thought was that these two items might work well together and was worth looking into. Craig

In Hungary it's easy. We have 5, 10, 20, 50, 100 and 200 Ft coins, we got rid of 1 and 2.

Motown:
that's EXACTLY what I was thinking! Maybe after IPC you could then say, let's try something in YOUR pocket... Or the other way around. Aside from being fooled, it's why I bought it. |

Will this be available from UK stockists?
|
|||||||||
Cosmo Solano Elite user Colorado 410 Posts |
You mean UK dealers? Only after the manufacturing is turned over to a factory, unless I can crank them out faster!
this first run will help me determine just how much I can handle while I await manufacturing. I hope to have it for Murphy's right away, working on it! Coz |

Hey all,
Looks like I will have IPC instructions online for the following coins/currencies: Australia, Hungary, Singapore, Euro's, Canadian It looks like Austria is Euro's as of 2002? However if by chance one wanted to use the Austrian Schilling those coins would work great! Rupees are a bit of a problem, however I've got a workaround for it to be solved in the next few days. This "workaround" will come in handy if there are any other currencies that have the same problems. Essentially it's a "diameter" of the coin that can be a challenge. Please let me know anyone out there who's currency is NOT euro's that I can accommodate. |

Hey all,
If you received the IPC unit would you please email me? I sent out several emails today and received no replies, I want to be sure that my emails aren't going into your "junk" email box. There was a minor mistake in the assembly of some of the units that is easily fixed, I want to be sure everyone knows just in case. this has been one of my most hard hitting effects and I truly want you all to have the same experience. Please contact me if you've received it, tracking shows most all in the states have, still waiting on the international deliveries to arrive! coz |
