Nice loooong mini review, MUCH appreciated!
How many magicians does it take to change a lightbulb? Regardless, for magicians darkness is a time for d'lite.

Will this be (or is it) available from any US distributor? Shipping charges directly from Full52.com are high.

Don't forget that you may be able to adapt your favourite/existing routines to the chip set. e.g. Mark Jenest's short hop (hopping halves) is a straight prop swop (but the presentation now has more of a hook).

I forgot to mention it on the DVD but I actually do Metal Sheep in the spectator's hands, just have them place their hands side by side, it works great in strolling at at the tables. The same with most of the other routines, with a little management most (not all) can be done in the hands. As Charlie mentioned, many of your existing coin routines can be used using this set of chips, I use the triple spellbound at most tables, and you only have to carry one chip with you and you're always ready to go! Once again, thank you for taking the time to write such a thorough review! Gary Jones.

The idea of doing Metal Sheep in the Spectator hands sounds great, I will have to try that, it even adds an extra layer of impossibility to the effect.

Received this yesterday but I have only had time to watch the first routine on the DVD (Ceramic Sheep).
I can comment on the props though. I have over ten years in the casino business and I can honestly say that these chips are of excellent quality. They are the real thing, clean and simple. Very happy with my purchase!

This sounds better and better. I will have to pick this up when I have cleared my backlog of new Effects from Blackpool.

Hi all,
Thanks for your interest, comments and reviews regarding 'The Ammo'. It's a project that both myself and Gary are very proud of. I think we definitely achieved what we set out to accomplish. That is, a high end, multi-functional set of poker chips accompanied by a host of real world, workable material. Moreover, we wanted to produce a product that enabled you to convert many existing coin routines into poker chip routines. To that end, I think we succeeded. It's definitely not a 'trick of the moment' type release. It's an investment for discerning magicians who want to vary their professional repertoires. The chips themselves went through several stages of development - we genuinely tried out several different chip types and designs (including steel core) before arriving at the finished product. They are, as someone commented earlier, the real deal. This is a set of 10 casino grade, ceramic chips designed specifically for magicians in that they are clearly identifiable against most background colours and lighting conditions. At the moment these are only available through me at the website (link in signature) and I can assure you that postage costs are accurate. They are heavy (as ceramic poker chips should be) but it's a proper investment in a set of props that you will use in various ways for many years. It may be that they become available through a distributor in the future but that's not something we're looking into at the moment. Thanks again for the interest, All the best, Dave.

My set arrived today.
These are beautiful chips with a bunch of great routines. A lot of love has been poured into this project. It could easily have sold for twice the price because of the quality of the props alone. They look like real poker chips, because they are. The gimmicks are amazing. So much thought has been given to how they work to create maximum impact. Gary's routines, as always, are practical and hard hitting. Although I paid full price I still consider this a gift! Thanks Dave and Gary.
When the chips are down, the duvet is uncomfortable.

As Dave mentioned in an earlier post, this set is more like a utility, and can be used to replace many of your existing coin routines to add that little extra variety to your performances, and they come with 10 routines to get you started.

The new thread about Sucker Punch (http://www.themagiccafe.com/forums/viewtopic.php?topic=627920&forum=218) brought this to my attention, and now I'm trying to compare the two. What numbers and colors of chips are included here? From reading the thread, I gather there are 7 normal and 3 gaffed, but that clearly doesn't work out right to have an even number of each type, or of even each pair of colors for the 3 gaffed chips. Could anyone enlighten me?
Feel free to PM if you'd prefer that. Thanks! |
