Superman Coin Bend
The Official Spam-
Setup: 5/10
Obviously, this is not an impromptu effect, you have to have the "materials". But, as long as you have the "materials" on your person, setup literally takes about 3 seconds. It can be done in front of the spectators, and you don't have to worry about being "caught in the act."
Difficulty: 7/10
This effect is ingeniously simple. When I first bought it, I was expecting some complicated device that you have to wear on your person, or some ridiculously complicated coin switch and ditch, but boy was I wrong. This trick is so simple, it's almost self-working.
Reset: 10/10
The reset for this trick also takes about 3 seconds. You can do it in front of your spectators, and not worry about being caught. All you have to do is get a quarter out of your pocket... that is, if you're not borrowing a quarter.
Price: 7/10
I thought the price for this trick, like the Scotch and Soda Euro, was exactly the way it should be... cheap enough for the pros, yet expensive enough to keep all the YouTube kiddies away. Although some say, "I don't want to pay $35 for one trick," they underestimate the power of this. And, in the great words of Gazzo, "Pros can't be cheap."
Pros:
- Very hard-hitting.
- Coin can be signed unlike most other coin bends.
- Coin is borrowed.
- Gimmick takes up very little pocket space.
- Setup/reset can be done in front of your spectators.
Cons:
- Spectators may ask you to do it again sometime else... in this case I recommend learning something like the Closer, which obviously doesn't requre gimmicks because it's an instant download.
- If you do it without sleeves, you do not end completely clean, but the gimmick can be easily ditched.
Overall: 8/10
I'm going to be brutally honest... I couldn't wait to get my hands on this little beauty. It's just plain awesome. The best part for me is it can be done with any borrowed and signed coin, almost anytime, anywhere. It's absolutely perfect for walk-around, because the gimmick "blends in" (owners know what I mean), and takes up very little pocket space.
