Looking for reviews, a google search did not help. This looks like fun, not very magical, but I think a lay audience , especially kids, would like it.

Agree! Looks very fun and I definitely think adults along with the kids will really enjoy this! Something different....

I get the surprise moment at the end but I don't understand all the stuff leading up to it. What is he claiming to do and why do the coins have fingers on them?

I think he is trying to prove there’s nothing holding the coin on the finger, and the larger coin, keeps getting smaller to apparently make it easier to grab

Is it that The spectator is to try to grab the coin from the performers finger but is always too slow?

I'm in the same boat as others. I have absolutely no idea what's happening here.

Yes exactly.

Ok, But why do the coins have fingers on them?

It’s not that at all. She is trying to close her had around the coin on her hand before he can tap it with the coin balanced on his finger. But because the coin starts out very large she is unable to close her hand and cover the coin, so he gives her smaller and smaller coins to make it easier for her and harder for him to tap it.
I don’t think the fingers on the coin have anything to do with the trick other than him naming the different coins by how many fingers are on them.

I think it’s a game of chance, where the magician never loses. And the fingers printed on the coins, have really no meaning. Other than to try and tie everything together in a theme, hence the finger.
Not very magical, but could be fun to do.

This looks like another example of Leo Smetsers taking an existing effect, dolling it up a bit, and marketing it hard.
I'm not impressed - but I'm sure he has a fan base.

Check out that Custom Glove though!!! I’m sure that has applications beyond the trick.

Has anybody actually used this and can report some thoughts on how it was received by your audience?

After watching it a few more times, I don't think its worth 55 bucks, looks like magnets at work here...

I watched it just the once and figured that out.

I think if you buy this with the intention of performing it as a magic trick then you're going to be deeply disappointed. I believe by the end of the routine it will be obvious to some that magnets are involved. But that's not the point of the routine, IMO. This is merely another one of those entertaining fun gag type routines especially when your finger comes off. I do agree baldini that $55 is a pretty hefty price for this, I just received mine from penguin and I think I paid $41. I'm going to check out the tutorial tonight and will report back after doing so. After watching this again and thinking about it, for me, I feel I can make this a very fun and entertaining bit.

Just watched the tutorial and this is cool. I will definitely be performing it. No, there are no magnets involved.

Tutorial is only 8+ minutes long but that's all you need to get up and running.

Looking forward to having some fun with this.

Another one that was well received at my gig this evening. There were a few kids but mostly adults and everyone enjoyed this. Especially when they pulled the finger off! Obviously this is not a show stopper but it is a fantastic filler which is something different from magic/mentalist routines.
