The Funnel is for small coins and looks like a prop. A Squeeze can handle larger coins - I prefer US gold coins.

The rings can be used for other effects as well. Either one can be great because of the sound of the coin passing through.

The requires some palming ability and audience engagement experience for maximum magical impact.

A good story helps too - not just a skill demonstration.

Does Okito box size matter (e.g. Dollar Okito used with Euro coins)?

I have never used larger than gold dollar size where US quarters and some Euros work also.
So, slightly smaller may be Ok, but thickness may not be. Weight also - you cannot use plastic replicas.

Regarding coin squeeze. If I may broach the name "Magi* Mak***" they have a special for a free "Coin Squeeze" included on a $50 order.

My question is for those who said effect from said company. In their version, does the stack of coins appear to shrink as each coin passes ?

Just curious! TIA
