Well, after much inner turmoil and gnashing of teeth - not to mention the advice I received from a number of pros here, I just ordered my first set of gaffs: Johnson's Hopping Halves. A big thanks to Poof Daddy for his detailed message describing the set. I realize this is not breaking news, yet I also know that the members here understand completely just how excited I am
Can't wait till it gets here !! |

Great coin trick ! I've had my set for over 30 years.

They're here! Not bad, took exactly one week to arrive. You were correct Jcrabtree, these are beautiful coins The ['s are perfectly made, as well as the S/C coin. Oh, and yes there are five coins in this set (someone mentioned getting only 4 in their HH from another source...). Financially this is a good purchase, worth every penny.
Now, I'm off to play! Woohoo!!!! |

Someone on this forum gave me a good idea for this trick.
it's a game called "gotcha". I have to sneak the coin back into my hand without you seeing... and if you see me do it, you say gotcha! and if I can sneak the coin back into my hand and you don't catch me, then I say gotcha. it allows both coins to be examined if you have a shell palmed, and you demonstrate with the copper coin (real one goes to pocket, come out with the gimmick). |

Think of the gaff in terms of what it permits you to do rather than the "and if I take away..." routine.
How many coins can you make appear at time using that gaff? How may coins can you make vanish at one time using that gaff? Have fun
...to all the coins I've dropped here

Thanks for the idea Adam. Jonathan, you are absolutely correct - I will focus on what can be done with this set over performing the nearly cliche simple vanishes and transpos...
