"They were fooled in less time than it takes to pick a card.” 1982 the magic community was hit with Lethal Tender by Steve Dusheck Jr and it became such a commercial success that it was immediately copied and reproduced without permission.
Thankfully, Airship Magic Mfg. and the Dusheck estate have teamed up and are bringing you the ONLY licensed Lethal Tender being produced. Every set has maintained the integrity and soul of Steve and his family. We value love over money and each set is made with nothing less. The sets are completely upgraded to modern materials and no longer use the standard “Chinese” coins. Until now, Lethal Tender as Steve performed it was only available at lectures. We proudly and honorably will be including Steve’s handling’s (two of them!) that are exactly as he performed them. https://airshipmagic.com/store/home/301-......der.html

Love it! Pointing out that the regular for $36 shows a walking liberty and the $150 is the same pic. I assume $35 is a half dollar, but it doesn't say. Also, where does one find the duplicate coins on your website? Very excited that you are doing these!

It's a great, classic trick. Just ordered two.

I would like to add, Airship Magic is the ONLY authorized licensed creator of Legal Tender. All others on the market now are being produced without the permission of the Dusheck Estate. Like in the past, these producers have felt that they can just take Steve's creation. Not a one of them currently producing and selling them even had the courtesy of contacting the Duscheck Estate, they felt they had the right to just take Steve's work, like in the past. My brother's company Airship Magic Mfg has done this the right way. They pay royalties to the Dusheck Estate and are under a contract with the family. So all the rip offs are taking money from Steve's family. -Jake Jr.

I have the original from Steve with the Chinese coin and I certainly didn’t buy it at a lecture. It’s top quality and I use it regularly with Steve’s handlings Gaz 😊

I'd like to buy one of the higher level sets but not without pictures of each, so I can make a better comparison. So, I'll just wait until all the pictures are posted. I think that's a fair request, particularly for the asking price.

This set appears to use a real coin with a hole (or at least a replica of a real coin), rather than the fake Chinese coins we see too often. This is a great upgrade. I'll have to pick one of these up.

Hi I just checked and the half is 1971 and because I bought it around 1988 and the written tutorial bears Steve’s name fully I assumed it was original.
It’s an exceptional one I can tell you that and the Chinese coin is exceptional too Gaz 😊 Ps the written tutorial has around 10 handlings in it |

Another tell tale sign, Steve never made Lethal Tender heads side up. If you had the original routine, the routine and Steve's own thoughts would be indicated in the routine. Steve gave Sterling his permission to make them, but they refused to use his routine as it matched another routine they were getting ready to release. Another known fact, Steve NEVER sold his rights to his effects to ANYONE. When Sterling sold to Murphy's they illegally transferred ownership of Lethal Tender with the sale of the company of an effect they did not own. Jake Jr.

Ok understood Jake, Steve is certainly credited and it is superbly made.
Nevertheless I will happily buy one of yours as I know your work craftsmanship is fantastic and if it has the blessing of Steve’s family that’s better still. I look forward to it it’s a wonderful underused effect in my opinion Gaz 😊 |

Until now, no one else has ever been given permission to to make Lethal Tender until AirShip Magic. Not only does Frederick need to get permission or authorization from the estate for each effect he is going to be paying royalties to the family. What's just as important as the effects themselves, is the history behind them. Steve was a genius. I never realized how much of a genius until I begun speaking with his daughter Renee. His notes, it's like reading though our father's notes and journals all over again. One name in magic that has not come up enough in my opinion is Marc DeSouza. Marc helped collaborate and bring everyone together. Nor myself or Frederick ever saw this coming until we were approached about producing Steve's effects. Without saying it was an honor that someone like Marc would consider AirShip Magic to do this. So if you're reading Marc, Thank you from all of us! Jake Jr. & -Frederick
