A new approach to the Chinese Charming Challenge that doesn't need an extra coin. Welcome to "Andalusian Challenge" by Elias D'Sastre and Julio Montoro.
Four main phases highlighted by a stunning finale allow your participant to not only see the impossible, but also feel and hear it. This is destined to be your new favorite way to perform the classic of magic.
Comes with the ribbon and dollar size coins, as well as a step by step video that teaches you everything you need to know.
This is a pretty good product. The teaching is great and the video production is clear. The method of only needing 3 coins is pretty clever. I don't love the coins to be honest they seem to have this sticky quality and the coins don't slide when pressed against each other. I prefer using my CCC coin set for this. All in all not bad at all. I really enjoy performing this effect and I can recommend it with some reservations around the coins itself. Update Oct 2023 - I have increased the rating from 3 to 4 stars due to the fact that I have been handling the coins quite a bit and they have lost the sticky quality that I was referring to initially. The coins have become a bit softer and there is less friction. Perhaps there was some sort of residue from the manufacturing process. But they are working perfectly.
I LOVE Troy Hooser's CCC and I was so excited to to learn some new moves to add to my CCC routine.The moves are pretty good and nothing is to difficult. Most of them can be done stand-alone (depending on how many coins you are "holding"). This allows you to build a very fluid presentation where you can add/remove phases as you see needed based on audience reaction.The vide quality is pretty good and the explanations are clear enough that you'll be picking up these new moves in no time.So why the "below standard" rating? Because most of these ""new moves"" "BORROW" heavily from another effect from a well known magician and a DVD that he put out a few years ago. To be fair, Elias gives credit to this other performer but I can't say that he has really created a brand new routine if not more "adapted" moves with some props to other "similar" props. In my view, not enough to call it truly original.

Filip asks: Quick question are the coins altered in any way? If not is there a chance to get the download only? Because I own already a few different sets of coins to perform CCC. Many thanks.
Jay asks: Are the coins for Andalusian Challenge available singly—possibly from the coin manufacturer? I’d like to buy Challenge and one extra (a fourth) coin… so I could do Charming Chinese Challenge moves as well with the larger Andalusian Chinese coins.
