"It looks like real magic."Lance Burton

"One of the fastest matrix routines I have ever seen."Shin Lim

Wow. This just might be the hit trick of the year. Lance Burton saw it and said, "It looks like real magic." And you know what? We completely agree. Jeff McBride saw it and said, "You have completely revolutionized the Matrix." Exactly!

It's this clean: you clearly place four coins on the table in the standard matrix formation. You clearly cover them with four cards. With ABSOLUTELY no perceptible moves (and no sleights), you lift three of the cards to show the coins are gone. You lift the last card and all four coins are revealed beneath.

This is the rarest kind of effect: where practicality is met with ingenuity to produce something strong enough to fool even magicians, yet practical enough to close a professional show. And that's just what it is. Creator Greg Gleason uses "Quantum Coins" in his theater performances. With the aid of a close-up camera, this effect will ASTOUND thousands of people at a time: it looks like a camera trick.

Imagine this: you can perform this effect onstage with people on either side of you. Select a poetic piece of music to go with it, and you just added a television-worthy piece to your show...strong enough to be your closer.

There are all sorts of possibilities with “Quantum Coins.” Our favorite is to use this as an interlude in a stage show: With a couple spectators right by your side, you’re able to do THE CLEANEST MATRIX WE’VE EVER SEEN, and a camera can capture the whole thing from inches away. It’s even possible to make the four coins appear under a spectator’s hand. This gets GASPS.

Think this looks good on video? It looks even better in real life.

These precision-made props (manufactured by Roy Kueppers) will last a lifetime and take care of ALL the work for you. You get to focus on presentation and connecting with your audience.

Customer reviews for Quantum Coins and Cards

Marshall
This is an expensive item so I was a bit nervous to invest in it. However, I'm a happy customer. The gimmicks are really well made and the effect looks as good in person as it does on video. I had considered buying the Rose Act but this is much more practical. The way to look at it is: if this is an effect you can see yourself performing, it's worth the price. If you just want a toy to play about with, maybe give this a miss.
Aiden
I agree with the previous review. This is great. It's pricey but you get quality gimmicks that will last a long time. Also - it's easy to focus on the method but you are also paying for the effect... and the effect is AWESOME. I'm happy with my purchase.

Just got the notification that mine has shipped so thanks for that Vanishing. Usually, I wouldn't write a review before a product has arrived (for obvious reasons) but I have spent a few days playing with a set owned by a friend of mine. After playing with hers for a few days, I just had to buy it. I'm seeing a lot of chatter about the price but IMO it's completely worth it. Were you fooled by the trailer? I was. That's why it's worth the money. And unlike other matrix effects, this one is practical. Please to see Vanishing getting the exclusive on this. Thanks Josh and Andi.
Ed
Since there are so many positive reviews, and mine was going to be the same, I thought I'd talk a bit about what you get in the box, since that was my question before I ordered.

You get EVERYTHING you need to perform the effect and it's all made up for you. The coins are supplied (they have a clever modification to them which allows the effect to work). You also get the cards too.

I was surprised at how easy this is. It can't have been more than 5 minutes before I was doing the effect and fooling myself with it.

If you like well-made, high quality magic that's practical, you'll have no problem justifying this price tag to yourself.

I got to tell you that from the onset when Greg showed me the first piece from Quantum coins I was hooked and I told him I got to have this. As I continued watching more and more of this be revealed I started frothing at the mouth like a Rabid wolf oh, I just had to have it. In fact I told Greg that I had to have it before a certain well-known magician got a set for himself. Don't know if it happened or not but it came in the mail yesterday and I was so pleased. The reason is that I lost the use of my right hand a couple years ago and even though I tried to do a matrix the traditional way holding the cards sometimes feels like I'm holding razor blades... and this new product from Greg and Rocco and Roy and Perry has made all the difference in the world ..it's truly magic in more ways than one. Visually of course, butalso for me being able to do something again that I had not been able to do for so long has just changed my life... if you're intelligent this is a product that you'll be able to use forever and your imagination will be your only limitation. Thanks guys this is great

A couple of years ago I decided to add a Matrix routine to my show. I researched dozens of versions and ultimately picked the one I liked best. Fast forward to a few weeks ago when I see video of Greg performing his Quantum Coins. I literally could not believe my eyes. I was convinced it was a camera trick. I felt like a kid in a magic shop getting bit by the magic bug all over again. I knew I had to own this version of the Matrix.

I received my coins a few days ago and couldn’t be happier. It IS an investment and worthy of the price. This is a quality effect. I’m taking my other Matrix out of the show and putting this one in! It’s that good. It’s that versatile. Thank you Greg and RPR for an incredible set of coins!
Sean
Ever since I seen sympathetic coins in the book Houdini on magic and watching Doug Hennings perform it on one of his specials as a child. I have been obsessed with this trick I even came up with my own version.
Greg’s version is hands-down the cleanest the most simple version ever created highly recommended!! I believe we can put the matrix to rest now ??
Steve
I just received Quadrum coins and cards. I really like this a lot, in fact so much I’m not sharing this with any of my Magic friends. It’s in the vault.
The Instructions show you how to use them virtually or when you do a live close-up show.
A game changer for matrix coin routine.
Jordan
This is one of the best new effects on the market! The gimmicks are very well made. There are so many different handlings you can do with these cards and coins. It can be done IN THE ROUND, close up, on stage, even in someone else's hands. It's super easy to learn, however with everything it will take some practice. This is the PERFECT trick for beginners and pros alike. This looks like pure magic up close. Highly recommend it.
Masato
This is absolutely one of the best buy for me within these few years. Props are very well made, I think this price is not expensive. Highly recommended.
Manuel
I absolutely loved this set. It really looks magical and it’s easy to do. Gimmicks are well made and will last forever. Works wonderfully, even in a close-up situation. Using David Regal and John G’s version of McDonald’s Aces,(Picturesque), prior to Quantum Cards, gives a good excuse to switch in the Quantum Queens.
