Great job Olly. Thanks for the email. So let me get this straight. This switch extends the Bty life to 12 hours. Is that correct? I thought it would extend to weeks if fully charged, like any other lithium bty In standby mode.

It may Pegasus, I charged it fully 24 hours ago and did 10 drops and then turned it off.
Just now 24 hours later after turning it back on I just done another 10 drops, will turn back off for 24 hours and let you know what happens tomorrow. Olly

Thanks Olly, much appreciate your sharing your work on this.
To me, having a switch is nice but I don't really miss it. Even for walk around I'm not sure the switch would help too much or be that different in practice than just hooking it to a very small external battery. Some small advantages but either way you have to constantly remove and replace the lid every time.

But then again, you have to do that to reset anyway. That is why being able to reset the coin without removing the lid would be of tremendous benefit to me. So I would love to hear or see what you came up with to solve that issue. That problem seems much more difficult to work out.

I will show you this via email Videoman, however the switch is the biggest thing for me as it cannot do a rechargeable battery any good being constantly drained under the power it needs for the electromagnetic function being constantly on imo. Turning it off and then back on periodically when you reset which is a 2 second operation has to be better, I will email you my sleeve set up but my preference is a small magnet strategically placed in the can so it attaches to it during the dump out. That’s how I use it but like I say I will show you the lining method too, have fun it’s a great effect.
Peter will be making a V2 with a switch and other additions, Olly

I’m happy with what CTC is today and I have no plans to release a V2 anytime soon. Yes, this will evolve and when I think I have some solid and worthy updates, a possible V2 might see daylight in the near future. We did not implement an power switch for a reason so I’m still on the fence on this -for now enjoy your CTC unit

That being said, I still have a very few units in stock from the second batch -if you want to grab yours before they’re gone check it out here:

Best,

Peter

Thanks for the info Peter, and no worries, it is a tremendous effect how it is in its current form and any additions will just bring it even closer to that elusive perfection!

Thanks again Olly and I very much look forward to seeing it!

Hi peter I had sent you an email as I have not been able to receive mine that was ordered at beginning of the month if you are able to send out ? The dhl tracking came back invalid.

Thanks again

Looking forward to the results Olly.

Hey all,

I need help: while removing the gimmick from the can I accidentally dropped the unit.
Luckily the electronic part is still working but the „tin part“ is totally damaged because the rim of it hit hard stone floor.
Any idea how to get a huge freaking dent out of the tin?
At the moment I don‘t want to try to disassemble the unit and to glue the electronic parts to a new „tin part“...

Nikki78,

Use the edge of the coin to push the dent
back -works great.

Peter

I emailed Pegasus with the results of my switch which is still going strong after 48 hours and 40 drops. I did another 10 drops after 36 hours so imo the switch is a no brainer if Peter ever releases a V2.
The battery supplied in the original version is more than adequate in my thorough testing, it’s an incredible effect and I highly recommend it to everyone.
Peter is also an amazing guy to deal with, Olly

Just got mine.

I charged it for 2 hours, and then tested it.

It took about 4-5 hours for it to run out of charge. that's pretty good.

I am having trouble with one bit, the part when you want to get the coin back onto the gizmo,before doing the fake XXXX, I am finding it a bit difficult, any tips?

Thanks

Alex

Thanks Peter. I‘ll give it a try

Hi Alex-

Pretty easy -did you joined the CTC Facebook Group? Several options are shown one of them I talk about in the additional tips video. You can also drop me a line at:
p.eggink@gmail.com

Ok 72 hours have passed and my CTC with my added switch is still dropping the coin perfectly every single time with the top on fully and from the maximum range, I do 10 drops and turn it off for 24 hours. It was charged with the switch in the off position about 74 hours ago for 2 hours or so as Peter recommends and then 10 drops were done with the switch on, it was then switch off and 24 hours later switched on 10 drops performed then switched back off.
I then tried it the same at 36 hours out of curiosity same result 10 drops, then another 10 at 48 hours and now at 72 hours did 11 just to get over the 50 mark.
So 51 drops from one charge for 72 hours, who knows it may go on for another 72 hours but all I can tell you is you do not need no light indication as this will only use its power you just need a switch as unless you are trying to do the worlds longest ever gig and perform this more than 51 times to the same crowd it’s just not needed a switch though definitely is. If you pm me with your email I will tell you how to do it properly, many people have already.
Buy this effect it’s truly awesome Peter has created an absolute miracle here. Olly

Fantastic work Olly. I applaud you.

Thanks Pegasus, I love electronics and also making gimmicks particularly if it makes an effect easier or better. Olly

Wow. Cool Olly. Wish I was able to do that. It would be so much better.

Mr Effecto I have re emailed you. Olly
