Hey, and isn't that coin holder a nice touch? I love that it's a softer leather and so neatly holds all the coins. But of course, it's the coins themselves that are the biggest treasure. Enjoy and let us all know here how you're liking the big package of it all. https://vimeo.com/280453175

This is set is AMAZING!!!!!! The packaging is amazing. The coin holder is a great addition. The 'system' is just genius. It is very flexible. John's craftsmanship is amazing as usual!
I just cannot believe the price on this system now that I have it in hand. I highly recommend this. There are tons of instructional videos that accompany the set and I am still making my way through those. But seriously, wow!!! I think the only thing I would want is to have a 'dollar-size' version of this and I know it would be amazing. Given John's continuous update to his work and offerings, I would not doubt if this is already secretly worked on or already done. I just love this set!!! Seriously, Mb got me hooked on JJ's work after his initial recommendation of Coin Coalition and the trend continues. These are my initial impressions of this work and I am off to finish watching the videos. But I am already thinking of things I can do with this system. Great work John and thanks for yet another killer recommendation Mb! |

I did really appreciate your exposure...I have spent a lot of time trying to get the parts. I only have a few items to get before I start making my own set. Ok that's so much of an understatement its probably more of a lie - I have only found the Light Emitting Diodes, however, you didn't say what colour, or size, or wattage etc. so I have ordered 10 of each colour and at each light intensity. Ive spent £150 on LEDs, cells and wireing. I think I may have been best just buying them direct. But one must never give up. Back to the list -I am glad I "quoted you" so I can copy all your text before it gets pulled! Oh I must go. I have just noticed a chalk stain on my jacket shoulder - just up from the leather elbow patches. |

Hey, John mentioned that he got a chance to one of his latest tricks included in the package, Shortest Hop - Deja Vu many, many times at the recent Magic Live in Las Vegas. After a while, people were bringing their friends to the Steven's Magic booth just to see John do the effect. It really is a nice one with some good play to it with a surprising finale. The best thing is that it's pretty darn easy to do, and you know I like that part of it.
There are many amazing effects included in this big package, this latest one is a great added bonus to an already jam-packed offering as to his now uniquely popular, Transformer Coin System. https://vimeo.com/282777091

I discovered John's Transformer set last week at Magic Live! and I am amazed by it (I also got his coin through bill which is fantastic as well). This system is incredibly versatile. It allows you to mix and match the gaffs in creative ways, and the routines will only be limited by your imagination. On Vimeo, John and a friend demonstrate some of their favorite effects. They are all very strong and visual. Stunning. The quality of the gaffs in superb — you could hand them out and I believe they would be fine if handled casually by a spectator. This is not the case with most gaffs.
I have about every coin gaff made and ones made by every major worker of coin gaffs, and I think John's may be the best. What I love about the system is how versatile it is. It could replace a shell, a Chinatown half, a triple split, a Hopping Half, and a Scotch and Soda for many routines with at most a few small adjustments in handling (if any). The matrix effects he shows are clean, direct, and astonishing. With these gaffs, and their matching ungimmicked counterparts he provides, and a few cards your pocket, you could do tricks all night. And I might do just that! I have just begun to study the routines and his instructions (clear and well done) for this system. Given how much you get, the versatility of what the system offers, and their precision quality, the price is very very reasonable. As a long-time coin worker and owner of many many fine gaffs, I thank John for his imagination and skill in crafting what will soon become my working tools for coin miracles. Watch the Vimeo clips and see for yourself. High, highly recommended. And, he's a nice guy.
Magic is where dreams become reality and reality becomes a dream.

Does anyone know if John is away. I haven’t been able to contact him through emails.

Hiya rowland, besides recovering from the great effort recently to provide product here and to put forth at Magic Live here in The States, John has also been preparing super-hard for an upcoming performance. No rest for the weary, but It's a magic show that him and a good friend put on for a variety of venues. I'm sure he will get back to you in a short while, probably in the next couple of days as to any concerns.
In the meantime, how are you liking his new Transformer Coin System, what are your thoughts on your set?

Hi thanks for letting me know. I wish him well and wait to hear from him.
I haven’t got the transformer set yet but I will have it very soon I hope. I have recently received his coin coalition set though. Wow what great workmanship, I absolutely love using them and the reactions I have received have embarrassed me. They are way better then I expected. I did a gig on Tuesday night and someone came up to me after the show and said the coins looked like real magic. The transformer set is also getting great reviews I see. |

Available now, and only from John himself.
Contact him at jjmagiccoins@comcast.net He is very reliable, but, as Marion said above, he is out performing right now and he may take a little bit to get back to you right now.

Man, that is some tremendous honesty there...I'm sure John appreciates it, as you I'm sure you appreciated him going further to send you another set thinking the first one was lost. Two good guys doing good things. Happy to hear of this, it's something my grandpa would call, "A good problem to have."
I'm sure John will be contacting you soon, and actually your idea to perhaps sell the extra set out there and PP John, sounds like a winner to me. *🎩Oh, and incidentally, I heard John's Magic performance was just wonderful...just brilliant! Nice to have a craftsman that actually does this stuff. Man, there's magic everywhere!

Just so everyone else here knows, Jeremiah Zuo, who has field tested The Transformer Coin System and provided some instructional videos for the system, has released a PDF entitled "Institutes of a Coin Magic Fan", along with Vimeo performances and routines and techniques.
I think that he deserves some recognition and accolades, and while I have not bought it yet (too many bills right now, and I just found out about it myself), it is more than likely my next coin magic purchase. There is a separate thread that was just started here on The Café for that, so there is not much going on right now there, but I'm sure that will change. See here: http://www.themagiccafe.com/forums/viewt......orum=218 And you can go here to purchase it: http://chicagomagicbash.com/jeremiah-zuo-instititutes.html I'll tell you that I NEVER try to push anyone into spending their hard earned money, but, without actually owning it myself, I'm so sure that this is a high quality purchase since I've seen his videos for The Transformer Coin System.

I highly believe and trust in Marion's (mb217) opinions.
He's never let me down, and that's saying a lot. If you don't know or trust me (although I always give my honest opinions, even though they may ruffle the feathers of some important birds here that aren't used to being ruffled), you all know that you can sure have faith in Marion, and he knows better than me.

Thanks so much, Jack for the kind words here...They are heartfelt.
And as mentioned, Jeremiah had a great hand in helping to show off John's amazing Transformer Coin System with some marvelous routines and just deceptively clever ways to use the set. John introduced him in high regard and quite proudly...and so do I. Jeremiah's ideas and thoughts on coin magic are refreshing, and it's always good to see another view on this stuff. I marvel at all the trickeration (is that a word?) I see from others. Some of that stuff is just nuts, like how in the world did you come up with that? But it all goes into the soup to progress the art and us further and further along. I'm happy John shared the spotlight with him...Happy to have someone like Jeremiah Zuo among us because it helps to shine an even brighter way onward & upward. http://chicagomagicbash.com/jeremiah-zuo-instititutes.html
