I recently ordered these, there arrived today and they’re great! They feel really solid and look lovely. Very simple and effective, just need to work them into a routine now. Has anyone else ordered them?

How many coins come in a set? It seems like a lot per coin, if it's only 3 coins - really just two gaffed and one normal.

It's relative.
How much time/effort/cost would it be to make a set yourself?

Of course it's relative.

I'm also not capable of making a C/S coin or Okito box (let alone a slot box) and yet many of those can be obtained for less.

I'm also not able to make a light bulb or usb cable on my own, either, but those don't end up priced very highly. Yes, I understand how economies of scale work, I'm just saying it's not always about whether I could do it better, faster, or cheaper.

My real question was to ask how many you got in a set so I could make a more informed decision around my perceived value of the purchase. I'm still not clear on the answer.

The description seems to be quite clear: "A three coin set, one coin always head, one coin always tails & one coin 50/50"

Ah, there it is. I had missed that up at the top of the description somehow. I'll blame a long week.
Thanks!

I purchased the set of "Yes/No" bias coins as well. I would be VERY interested in hearing thoughts on what sort of routine any of you have developed using the coins in a magical way. The switches used would have to be very good and minimal "going to the pocket" would be good. I prefer routines that do not require sitting at a table.... Ideas????

Isn't the whole use of the coin to spin it on edge?
It seems hard to do that with some sort of flat surface. You don't need to sit at the table, but having one is probably better than using the floor. You could carry a plate or something, but then it feels less impromptu.

Yeah, I haven’t developed any routines yet. It might be a good addition to another trick, like placing different cards face down on the table, asking if it’s their card and getting them to spin the coin, use the no coin a 2 times then switch when you know it’s their card and let them turn it over . Not the strongest idea but something I just thought of.

You get three coins, they’re all hand made and look and feel great.

You could always use them to see if you have to buy the next round of drinks!
