I just tried about 70 quarters, including half a dozen dated 1994 and all but 2 fit fine, including all the 1994's and several others from the '90's. There were a couple various ones that were a wee bit tight but would still work fine, you would just need to shake a little harder to get it out. Just for the sake of record the 2 that wouldn't fit were a Great Basin National Park from 2013 and an Eagle from 1980. I should add that there were a couple damaged/dented/mangled quarters that would not fit for obvious reasons. |

Yea I guess with your all’s confirmation that multiple quarters fit. It does sound like I did get a defective one. Everything fits snug and the trick works if you have a worn down quarter that will fit inside but I would really like my 1994 stamped quarters to fit.
Still waiting for Kranzo’s reply to the email and sent him a PM. Hopefully we can get the issue resolved. |

Still nothing. Starting to get concerned for Nate’s well being at this point. Very strange.

It is concerning since he was on here daily until the price went up and now crickets?

Today I received the Prop and with me also does not fit the Silver Quarter !
Fortunately, a State Quarter I had fits, otherwise I could not have tried the trick. I have grind the Silver Quarter with a very fine nail file and under water so far that it now fits. But there definitely seem to be differences in the diameter of Quarters. Another point is the fit of the G which sits bombproof with me and causes quite loud noises when squeezing. I have no idea how many times I have to use the trick until the fit is no longer so tight. I also use a different method to loosen the G than demonstrated in the extra video of Nathan. Who wants to know can send me a pm |

Yep still nothing from him yet. No replies to emails and I’ve sent several. Sorry Magic Dust that you had issues with it fitting too

Does anyone know what metal this is made from? I thought it was brass, but in trying to patina it, nothing happened.

I just had to my astonishment realize - that I do not have the matching Silver Quarter - because mine has the year 1992
but my $tamp has the year 1994 😲 I had oriented myself on the product page when I ordered, because the trick was still on the way & there the $tamp shows the year 1992. I had not expected that different Quarter year numbers were produced |

The fact that the printing “stamp” is not reversed is an idiotic oversight. Am I stupid? No… and neither is my audience.

The reverse printing has not been an issue for me. So far so good!... All my 94 quarters have also fit perfect. The only issue and it is minor it's pretty tight and hard to separate the gimmick.

Perhaps there was a good reason it was done that way such as significantly raising the price, etc. But the fact is that absolutely no one but certain magicians care about it. It's a cute, fun, and entertaining little effect, but no one is going to still be talking about it weeks later. Personally, I think that any performer who believes that if only the stamp were reversed then their audiences would surely buy into the whole premise of turning a ball bearing into a real quarter are actually the ones treating their audiences like they're stupid. |

Make sure the quarter is not inside the outer canister and put the nested stamp inside the outer canister and use that like a bang ring to get it started. Works for me anyway. |
