He had a real coin and a flipper, he put away the real coin and extended the flipper


@Soap you can make it much easier by just never having a real coin haha, then you don't have to ditch it
this is true but I like the idea of them seeing two coins apart, I'd use a expanded shell but the action of tossing the coin from one hand to the other makes it seem like there's only one coin, Eric jones has got a coin out where it's a magnetic shell so you can toss it around as much as ou like,
I think the ditching part isn't gunna to be that hard doing it live, gunna work on the concept alot over the weekend and then go find a victim to try it out on, also my expanded shell should come in the post tomorrow so I might use that.
I got the idea from watching Metal 3 and putting together some of Eric's routines and changing it up

Just a quick question, (by the way, I loved the idea of a two coin monte, it was well performed so good job Soap :D!) Where can you get a cheap flipper/expanded shell? because I don't wanna pay like £30 on Ebay for the one coin.

Thanks!

I got mine from Here he sells Tango coins which are middle of the range gaffs

1x flipper cost £40 (Pro gravity)
1x expanded shell £25 (Pro sliver)
4x Kennedy half dollar £4 (cleaned to look like new)

This place
Here also sells Tango but they also sell the more standard coin, I've been told they are still good quality and if your not going to be using them much then I'd probably go down this road

My reasons for getting Kennedy half dollar coins were that our (uk) coins are either to fat or to small for my liking, the Walking Liberty coins are about 4mm ish tinner then the Kennedy but are way out my price range atm as are Morgan coins

Thanks Soap :D!

I'll definitely be buying some half dollars and once I get a bit more money I'll be buying an expanded shell or flipper.

Hiya ok these are just my thoughts and in no way fact

, Willeom started this thread b4 he became apart of eom his name was chestan or some thing.
When he wrote this it was just an idea I don't think he ever made a start date for this comp.
Now that he's apart of the team and also holding down a career of some sorts I dout he's got the time to commit to the comp, the best thing to do would be to pm him and see if he replies

Cheers Ash

I think that it will require a lot more than just opening a thread to do the whole prize thing. So I'd just give it some more time.

I remember that WIlleom was called Chensta before he joined up. I do remember him being an administrator before they announced that he had joined the team and before he changed his name.

I agree with you Soap, the team are clearly busy all day round and checking a thread, watching videos and reading feedback are juts adding to the work pile. I still like the idea of doing this competition, but I'm not really bothered about the prizes (yeah, I know that is probably easy for me to say that since I haven't really done much in this thread yet, let alone fooled anybody).
