“On Fool Us he fooled everyone! But he had already been fooling me for years with this wonder. Great Hernán! Great Quimera” Dani DaOrtiz

Hernán Maccagno recently fooled the heck out of Penn and Teller with this beautiful coin routine. You can see the delight in their faces as they are fooled, and then fooled again when they are permitted to examine everything!

At its essence, this is a Coins Across routine, but it's so much more than that. Using a clever variation of a Okito Box created by Al Baker and Nate Liepzig called "The Al 'N' Nate Box", Hernán has created a deeply-fooling, entertaining, and visual piece of magic you will love performing.

The set includes:

  • Quimera Box and one gimmicked coin made by Tango Magic
  • 3 adhesive papers in different color to customizer the gimmick
  • 4 regular half dollar coins
  • Tutorial in English and Spanish

“Hernán always manages to reach that something else that makes him special. From a box to a coin act to a work of art” Miguel Angel Gea

“Simple and powerful! Perfectly timed, it flows from hook to climax - a beautifully crafted, brilliant routine. Bravo, Hernán!” Shimpei Katsuragawa

I honestly purchased this because I wanted to know how Hernan Maccagno performed the routine he did on Fool Us. But it didn’t stop there. This wonderful prop opens a ton of doors for coin magic. It may very well be the perfect prop for coins. Combined with the other “stuff” this will truly bamboozle your audience. This little gem is only limited by your creativity. Get it and have fun.

I would say it's perfect close up trick itself. The method I knew going in. With that said quality of props were great except the carry net case. Tbh it cheapened the over all product. The instructional video was fine nothing amazing. An experienced magician will work out their own handling and maybe use one or two things from the video. I bought two of them, one for practice and one for shows. This is definitely a keeper overall I just wish for the price it came with a better carrying situation then the thin net type bad.

Quite possibly my new favorite coins across routine. The build quality of the Al 'N' Nate Box is excellent and I appreciate that 4 half dollars are included. If you're just starting out exploring coin magic, you'll need to learn some basic/intermediate moves that are noted but not described in detail in the instructions.

There are a few downsides worth noting, first is that the tutorial isn't able to be downloaded and finding the tutorial was somewhat confusing, there are two QR codes and a URL with a passcode on the box, but confusingly the QR on the front of the box and the URL and passcode don't bring you to the tutorial, but the QR on the inside of the box does.

The tutorial itself covers everything you need to know for the routine, but doesn't go into great detail or utilize additional camera angles.

The main issue I've encountered is that there is an extra item included for the routine, the item itself is excellent quality, but there are some arts and crafts one will need to do to customize it, the papers needed for this are also included. However, there are no instructions on how to customize the item, and you have to customize it in order to use it. One can deduce how to put it together but it seems like a bit of an oversight.

Perhaps those instructions are hiding somewhere and I wasn't able to find it, but felt it was worth noting.

Overall I'm quite please with this release.

The props are made pretty well. You receive 3 colors for the gimmick but my red and green was folded which puts a crease in it. Not a crisis for me as I would use the black one. The tutorial is a bit hard to unravel. Its a bit fast paced and you have to watch it a few times. The box itself is stunning. Overall this is quite nice. It's a very clever routine.

I can recommend it.
