I have always been fascinated with translocation effects which began with Coin Nests and Lippincott boxes. Over the years I collected the most practical sets on the market but somehow remained oblivious to the concept of gumball machines until this summer. Since then I have collected most of the commercially available machines with the exception of the machines sold by Collector's Workshop and Ray Lum because of cost. I acquired Joe Givan's, John Sterlini's, Ray Logan's and most recently Buzz Lawrence's Magi-Chine. All of which are slightly different but work faithfully and perform wonderfully. I must; however, give credit where it is due and offer accolades and praise to the Magi-Chine for the subtle yet noteworthy enhancements I recognized immediately. After removing the top, I discovered a swiveling handle which makes lifting the globe and accessing the coin bucket a breeze. Also, the side panels on the globe can be slid out and removed for convenient cleaning. Finally, it is the only machine I own with a removable gimmick allowing it to be easily converted from a magical stage prop to a standard operating vending machine in mere minutes. I love all of my children but if you are shopping on a budget, this rendition might be the best value for the money without sacrificing quality. I am very happy with the purchase of my Magi-Chine and cannot say enough good things about it. Comes highly recommended. |

Apologies for excluding the most important part - the contact information. The proprietor Buzz Lawrence (Howie Diddit) can be found here http://www.themagiccafe.com/forums/bb_pr......er=48650
All machines load very easily. Three out of the four machines I own were made from Oak brand vending machines and load from the back. John Sterlini's was made from a Beaver brand vending machine and loads from the top. http://www.wolfsmagic.com/A_Ring%20Grinder%202013.htm Chance Wolf's Ultimate Ring Grinder comes highly recommended as well. |

The compatibility with Wolf's ring grinder was my next question.
Thanks Richard! |

The gumball machine is available through magic dealers from Murphy's Magic and may be ordered from any dealer that buys from Murphy's. The machine is called the RING-A-DING Gumball Machine. |

Hello, I have just found this old post. I am very interested in this Gumboil Machine. Being outside of the U.S, do I still have to use american coins in the machine?

I have had great success and dependability with Buzz Lawrence's Gumball Magi-Chine and Wolf's Magic Ring Grinder for almost a year now.
Buzz went way beyond the call of duty when it came to customer service. Eric |

Just curious
Is the Magi-Chine the same as the Ring in Gumball Machine? Or is one an improvement? Thank you! Mike |

In case anyone stumbles across this... I got my answer.
I contacted the man himself... Buzz Lawrence, the creator of this. The effect/gumball machine has NOT changed since the beginning when Buzz first made it. The name has ONLY changed when Murphy's started distributing it. I bought one. It truly is an excellent effect! Love it!!!! As stempleton (above post) mentions... Buzz is awesome! if you do have questions, contact him. |
