Magic Review - The Tunnel by TCC

[@magicorthodoxy]

TCC just announced that it's $50 tccmagic.com/products/the-tunnel-by-artisan-coin

[@rhook88]

I love Coin Squeeze, one of my favourite effects and I still perform it everyday. This looks awesome. Thanks for the review David 😊

[@magicorthodoxy]

Any time!

[@davidthompson7764]

TCC is becoming my favorite company. They make great looking props that you are proud to own without breaking the bank. Reworking old classics to a elegant style. I have Untrammeled, Mini Cups and Balls, Final Wood Combo Cups and Balls. I am happy with them all. I agree that the tutorials could be better. They’re good but not up to the standard of the props. Thanks David for all the reviews. Usually watch you on my second cup of coffee. Y’all get my day off right!

[@magicorthodoxy]

Couldn't agree more!

[@RobertBallMagician]

Wow another great TCC effect, wonderful review 👍😊👍😊🤟

[@TheAx504]

Thanks for another great review. Yet another item I need to add to my wish list! Update: Mine arrived yesterday. The price now is $60, but you will have the opportunity to get a 15% discount. Still a great deal. FYI …. I am using 50 cent coins. One coin was giving me problem. If you are having issues, switch out the coin. You will see why!

[@magicorthodoxy]

Any time!

[@galaxycaptain672]

Nice review - I'm sold on this one for my style. Thanks, David. ED

[@magicorthodoxy]

Thanks for watching!

[@daverothberg2624]

TCC releases are mostly super great recently. (tutorials are weak). Great quality props. Got “Tunnel” and other items in their late 2022 Kickstarter campaign. Also picked up multiple new releases this year. Their dice props are super excellent. Thanks for the review David 👍👍

[@mathmusicstructure]

TCC is crushing it. Unfortunately this is not on their site or anywhere else that I can find. Edit: it's available for pre-order on their site if you look now

[@ICEMANKENNYTV]

I ordered it through kickstarter about 8 months ago and it finally arrived just recently but it really is beautifully made and is really awesome! If you can find it, get it, you won't be disappointed.

[@mathmusicstructure]

@@ICEMANKENNYTV Yeah I got the mbox set off that same kickstarter but I was a little strapped so I couldn't get everything.

[@carlpowers7291]

Is the company itself advertising this yet?

[@mathmusicstructure]

@@carlpowers7291 Yes you can pre-order it now if you search on their site.

[@raycoleman4083]

Just got The Ultra Bell and I love it!!!!

[@magicorthodoxy]

oh cool

[@malikhaddadi2061]

Looks similar to Quarter Squeeze or the AL Cohen Coin Funnel, both great tricks.

[@magicorthodoxy]

yup !!!

[@JOHNCESTA-y3h]

It's a coin funnel. But what a coin funnel! I just got mine. Love it. If you own it see my addition in the instructional video comments. Mine was $60 as I got it after the kickstarter. Shipping was included.

[@magicorthodoxy]

nice !!!!

[@chaddavis1]

Great review David. Very helpful. These guys seem to really respect the art of MAGIC. They also seem to want to give value for the investment.

[@magicorthodoxy]

agreed

[@dkny02138]

Hmm… not sure if pricing changed but at the time of the kickstarter, the retail price was supposed to be $60 and the kickstarter price was around $38 plus $12 shipping (to US). So I really hope the new retail price isnt going to be $40! Lol. Well I have actually seen a few times now where TCC kicks off their new products at a discounted price that almost beats or beats the kickstarter price, especially considering kickstarter always adds on shipping. Anyhoo, I still love the Tunnel and TCC. Thanks for the review!

[@magicorthodoxy]

looking back, I cant recall how I got that number - I hope I didn't get it wrong

[@carlalbright6790]

I still have 2 versions of the coin funnel where the half dollar is screwed between the 2 parts. Coins go through as usual but in the "old" days We always ended up with a load of some type to end with a magic twist. Usually a pack of lifesavers or gum . Looks like a great addition the the coin funnel collection. Thanks again.

[@magicorthodoxy]

those sound cool

[@neckrond]

Das ist ein uralter Trick den ich in den 80er Jahren ein hatte. Aber diese Ausführung sieht natürlich viel schöner aus 🥰

[@magicorthodoxy]

Danke für Ihren Besuch

[@davidjay1622]

I MIGHT have had an inexpensive plastic version of this early on in my magic life (though not sure If it’s the same method. (Same effect, anyway, I think). It was one of my early favs - I thought that was genius. Loved it as a kid. I’ll put it on my list. Looks cool! Thanks for the review, David!

[@magicorthodoxy]

thanks for the visit

[@botirkurbanov4261]

Where can I buy a cup with a double bottom?

[@magicorthodoxy]

double bottom? I dont know, where have you seen one?

[@mitchellcouger]

Clear and honest review as always. Thanks David!🙏

[@magicorthodoxy]

I appreciate that!

[@PPKantor]

Got this weeks ago, great prop and fun to perform. 😃

[@magicorthodoxy]

Great to hear!

[@MagicflyerUK]

Any idea how to get hold of this? Can't find anything on the TCC website?

[@magicorthodoxy]

it's $50 tccmagic.com/products/the-tunnel-by-artisan-coin

[@dmontes133]

Way cool! Beautiful prop! The price is unbelievable! I was thinking that it would be closer to 100 bucks.

[@magicorthodoxy]

it's $50 tccmagic.com/products/the-tunnel-by-artisan-coin

[@jameswebb8338]

As you mentioned, I can see this becoming an even more powerful effect when utilizing sleight-0f-hand. High potential! For the quality of the props with the low cost, it's an easy decision. Thank you David.

[@magicorthodoxy]

Absolutely!

[@Nathansmagicact]

@@magicorthodoxy I got Kennedy half dollars! so question I got my tunnel and do you have this issue when you put the coins in one side and turn it over the “gimmick” easily works but when you put the coins in the other side it’s like the coin is so tight the “gimmick” won’t allow it to move freely?

[@spinnato]

Went to their site but don't see it listed. Do you have a link?

Hi David, I have been waiting for your review of this! Thank you so much! Great review! Your friend David

[@magicorthodoxy]

Glad you liked it!

[@paulkokkelenberg658]

I'm a huge fan of TCC, but.... I received this trick from Kickstarter about 3 weeks ago. My gimmick needed to be 'tweaked' a little (sanding it to better fit a half dollar). So.... Other than that, this is my new favorite trick.

[@magicorthodoxy]

oh really?

[@paulkokkelenberg658]

Yep, Maybe my half dollars are thicker than others. It needed a little help in that direction if you know what I mean.

[@idiotcoin7183]

Still looking for the video you did in member's section comparing impression devices. If memory serves, you end up discussing the conclusions of a professional mentalist, whom you don't name, and who I think decides that he likes Parapad best. I think you demonstrated Parapad and another impression device in use in a deck of cards. I can't find a way to search the member's section to find this video. If you could send a link I'd be very grateful.

[@magicorthodoxy]

I only know about this one kzbin.info/www/bejne/a5rPpod7hLqoldU

[@davidsegal2060]

Happy to know I didn't dream it. Very good review, too.

I'm beginning to collect a few beautiful pieces from TCC ... But maybe not this one as I can't find any reference to it on TCC !

[@magicorthodoxy]

it's $50 tccmagic.com/products/the-tunnel-by-artisan-coin

[@kendietz8640]

Look at the “coin funnel” trick. There are a few few versions… the same gimmick. Coin funnel has you place a half dollar between each funnel(tunnel), better. How could you have missed this? Coin funnel is beautiful spun aluminum…

[@magicorthodoxy]

:D

[@kendietz8640]

I own The Tunnel, it is beautiful and a good kickstarter price, but I find the use of a playing card or paper separation a bit awkward.

[@ariesmars29]

Is this just like the trick called "Quarter Squeeze"?

[@MastersofCriminology]

I have this and agree the video needed to be better.

[@magicorthodoxy]

ok - cool

[@nauti939]

Did you try it yourself? Mine is so lose it gets apart if I take it from an end and reverse it to drop the coins. I will probably have to replace the magnets myself (like I had to fix other stuf I bouht from them). This is another TCC "Chinese quality" toy. I'll never buy anything else from then.

[@magicorthodoxy]

if I twist mine - the magnets lock tighter

yes!

[@ermordung]

Sadly, the most used coins in my country don't work with the gimmick, they are too thick.

[@magicorthodoxy]

did you see this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/lYCVnHyircyBick

[@KirbyEatsYu]

As cool as this product is, the kickstarter campaign itself was ATROCIOUS. Several delays, poor communication, unfulfilled orders etc. It cimpletely undermined the quality of the product

[@magicorthodoxy]

Ive heard people are getting their products though

[@KirbyEatsYu]

@@magicorthodoxy There was also the issue of the trick being advertised using a magnet to highlight the Lenz effect, but they didnt include the magnet and offered no options for obtaining one. To find a magnet of the specific size required, i had to import one from China for $20 which took over a month to ship. The Tunnel prop itself is gorgeous and a great gimmick, but I know that myself and many others will likely steer clear of TCC kickstarters in the future

[@Nathansmagicact]

@magicorthodoxy can you use dollar coins??

[@MichaelLawrenceMagic]

No.
