Hi, I am looking for a split coin but other then the expensive one from Greg Wilson, none are available.
Can you please suggest any available split coins? Thanks.

There are lots of split coins available. It just depends on the coin, number (do you want a double or triple split), and the type of movement. There was a very nice thread over in the secret sessions about some comparisons (of triples) here https://www.themagiccafe.com/forums/view......forum=37

On top of that, a lot of makers had similar ideas around the same time (or maybe they copied each other?) so it can also go under the name clone coin, super coin, and I think there was one more that I'm forgetting right now.

Other common ones: Most Johnny Wong sets (but particularly the Super Triple Coin and Double Faced STC), Kuepper's Transient Coins (is a triple, though he makes a double as well), symphony coins (quadruple), bag4life, and probably even more that I'm not thinking of offhand.

All that to say, it's very much available, from most stores and in a variety of sizes, colors, and combinations.

I want a double split, and any size is fine, can you please suggest some sellers? Thanks.

I suggested several products. Any seller (Vanishing Inc, Penguin, Hocus Pocus, The Magic Warehouse) will have them. Better yet, support your local magic shop and buy one from a Brick & Mortar store, if you have one nearby.
Deciding on the coin to use is pretty important to your decision, though. You might want to give that some more thought as to what you want to use it for.

Yes, sorry Joe. I didn't mean to leave you out. I was mostly just listing the main resellers.
There's also all sorts of custom stuff from folks, too.

I have purchased coin gaffs from Joe (including split coins) and found him to be very responsive and a great guy. Buy from Joe.

I was trying to go to the link but it says there isn't a post to be displayed for me. Is it in the Secret session?

Also any thoughts on Symphony coins vs Kuepper's Transient Coins?

Thanks!!

Hi and welcome.
Yes, the secret sessions forum is locked to you as a new member.

I have not used either myself, so can't comment, though I do believe they're designed to have different numbers of components.
They are both made by Roy, but I would expect they're tuned a little differently.
Since I don't know what your end goal is, it's even harder to say.

You could also try emailing Roy and asking him how he thinks of the difference. I'd be curious to read his response, if you're willing to share it.
