I really think you're going to like this new "system" John has put together...He has been thinking as to it for a long while now. To see it come to fruition is just amazing, especially as to all it can do. He includes so much with it and it's so flexible. *And again here... while I know he is trying hard to meet the demand of the upcoming Magic LIVE event, but all you guys are important to him too, so I'd say to keep reaching out to him just the same, cause you never know, he might just have some available, if not right now then later after the big event is out of the way. He's working hard to meet demand and if I know John, he will work hard not to leave anybody out as well. Please continue to reach out... jjmagiccoins@comcast.net

Please don't be humbled, Marion.
I'm always a straight shooter, and once you've been around here a while, you learn who the honest people are with your taste in magic. And it seems like they are getting fewer and fewer. You are honest, and I trust your opinion. Magicians helping magicians, you know. Thank you!

Again, thank you.
I enjoy letting people know about worthy pieces of magic and the wonderful people who make it happen. Many times they are not the supposed big boys or household names, but just good folks out there that love magic and create some really good stuff, often at much reduced cost so that all can afford it. And when you give them a try, you find out that their work is as good or even better sometimes than what’s out there or regarded as better than anything else. These folks are clever, capable and accomplished in their own right, and enjoy sharing the magic they make. I guess I enjoy sharing them with you all here. 😊 John Jurney is certainly one of those wonderful people, a great craftsman, a darn good magician, and a great example of “Magicians Helping Magicians.” It’s my pleasure to tell you all of his wonderful works, and I’m sure this amazing NEW Transformer Coin System will again show you exactly what I mean as to his brand of excellence.😊 Again, thanks for the kind words. 😊

I had a chance to preview this set and I paid as fast as I could.
Its So versatile, almost mind boggling. I cant imagine that anyone wouldn't flip over this set. Oh and no flipper coins, I just happened to use the word flip. Great stuff as usual from John |

How long does it take to 'transform" one set of coins or gimmicks to another set of coins or gimmicks? Can most of the transformation have to be done in an isolated place? In other words, once you gimmick a set of coins, can you easily change the gimmick or have another gimmick in palce with a different set of coins to do a different effect right away?
Thank you. Michael

While I don't have the coins yet (delivery is scheduled for today), knowing what's involved tells me that it is extremely easy to do whatever you want with them.
You can't do it right under the noses of your spectators, but it should be very simple to accomplish if you were out in the open. Actually, maybe you can do it right under the noses of your spectators, but I know that I probably can't.

I received the coins today, and they are beautiful.
The craftsmanship is top notch, in my opinion. The only comparable that I own is Johnny Wong's STC, but I think that this set far outshines them. I haven't watched the instructional videos yet, but I intend on viewing one or two a night for the immediate future. Thanks a lot, John!

I've been asked in a PM how smoothly everything works.
I've only played with this for a few hours, but I have no complaints at all. I'm very pleased. All of the hinges, screws, flywheels, and mounts are sturdy and well hidden when everything is put in place, but you need the Wenger gears hidden in your back pocket before you start to do anything or else they might squeek. The Altschuler Anti-Slip Pin System has been improved upon in a way that I can't see or figure out, but I can obviously feel the difference between this set and my other set. The Light Emitting Diodes are also well hidden, but my only complaint might be that they will expose the film in the leather coin wallet. Only time will tell, though. Finally, the graphite Hanley pins do not give off as much smoke as the ones on my Johnny Wong set, and is as silent as one could expect from such a system. I hope that this doesn't count as exposure. If it does, please send a PM to the moderators. Wink wink, nudge nudge. I'm glad that I bought the set!

I just received this coin system as well. They are awesome. However, due to some unexpected bills, I will have to sell mine. Brand New. PM me if anyone is interested.

Jack, I'm still waiting for my set to be delivered. Fingers crossed that my Hanley pins function properly...

Don't worry about it- if you look on page 329 of the PDF JJ sent, you'll see that he figured out how to stop the vertical esconcement of the decanter flap.
That, and their graphite composition, solved all of the inherent problems of the Hanley pins. At least John says so.

Wow! JJ and friends really put some work into devising, filming and teaching a sweet palette of moves and effects for these coins. It's really nice to get something like this based on nothing but a recommendation you trust (Mb217), and then find that everything exceeds expectations. This is an incredible toolbox and expertly engineered set of gaffs. Plus, it comes with a beautifully made leather carrier to keep everything safe and together (and a video tutorial on the right way to load the leather carrier), and a fully realized video masterclass exploring ideas, moves and routines - none of this, "we'll put up a webpage/FB group and add content to it regularly!" [...five weeks later, crickets...). So to sum up, this does not suck.
Now appearing nightly in my basement.

Max, you and Jack here have said some good things about this set upon receiving it...That it meets all expectations and even goes beyond are wonderful statements from real users. That's important stuff as people love to hear about things good or bad as to what's new and potential purchases. And it really helps people to know better that fellow Café members have given the thing a whirl and found it to be stellar.
I look forward to more comments, like rowdy here, who found the new coin system to be upon arrival to him, "Awesome!" And the complete package of this beyond the the great coins, the leather carrier, and all the routine videos, it just all makes it not only a great accomplishment, but a super offering. There's so much good stuff in those included routines, like [bRed China, Shorter Hop, and several matrix-type effects, along with some nice quick tricks[/b]...It's just a bonanza, an absolute progress and yet another move-of-the needle from the mind of John Jurney as to coin magic. jjmagiccoins@comcast.net
