Clean construction and great choreography... I love it" - Chad Long"Avi's magic is a prime example of the perfect balance between pure skill and artistic poetry.

"I love all of Avi's coin magic, especially his CCC! I highly recommend it and hope you look at it!" - Hide Yamamoto
Introducing Threaded, Avi's interpretation of the beloved coin magic routine "Charming Chinese Challenge" by Troy Hooser.
Meticulously designed routine addresses the original's limitations, offering clean and convincing moves with captivating audience participation. Prepare to be astonished by Threaded's unique kicker and climactic finale, which left audiences spellbound during Avi's mesmerizing live performance at the 2022 Las Vegas S.A.M Con Gala show.
Threaded has brought Avi remarkable opportunities, enabling him to deliver lectures of varying scales in over 11 countries and 17 cities. Through these experiences, he has connected with magic enthusiasts and shared his craft on a global level.
Beyond the magic itself, Avi's vision is to inspire and infuse your own ambitious journey with luck and skills. Let Threaded be your trusted companion, unlocking new realms of possibility and filling your life with the enchanting power of magic.
With the blessing of Troy Hosser himself, we successfully filmed the project in Singapore back in 2021. Threaded also marks Avi's final project with Skymember Presents before his departure. At that time, Avi didn't have a dedicated Chinese coin set linked to his work. In honor of Avi's significant contribution, we've embarked on a mission to develop the best Chinese coin set, not only for Threaded but for any coin magic routine. Shan Gui stands as our heartfelt tribute to Avi and his invaluable contributions.
What you will receive:
- Threaded coin set: 3 x Shan Gui coins, 1 Shan Gui gaff coin, 2 pairs of ribbons in red and blue.
- 30 minutes ONLINE MASTERCLASS.
To us, Shan Gui is the BEST CHINESE COIN FOR MAGIC TO DATE.
Two years in research and development by the engineer Calvin Liew, Shan Gui transcends a mere coin; it is a WORK OF ART.
DESIGNED TO LOOK AND RESEMBLE AN ACTUAL COIN FROM ANCIENT CHINA, as if holding a mysterious power... and luck.
MADE FROM PURE COPPER, the coin not only has superior quality, but it also possesses... the ideal weight for everyday coin magic and fidgeting.
Our coin is PRECISION-CRAFTED USING THE TRI-FACE CNC PROCESS, involving the front, back and edges, to create an ASTONISHING DISC-SHINING EFFECT that cannot be achieved through molding or standard polishing processes.
The coin has been treated as a SOFT COIN, meaning that VERY LITTLE SOUND IS PRODUCED when coins rub against each other, but it will produce a BEAUTIFUL ECHO when you flick it.
To aid in your performance, the provided gaff is also meticulously engineered down to the finest details. This means that you no longer have to worry about anything other than your magic, giving you not only security but also the CONFIDENCE TO PERFORM - something that working professionals would undoubtedly appreciate.
With proper care, OUR COIN SET WILL ENDURE FOR YEARS TO COME. IT WILL LITERALLY OUTLAST YOU; it's AN INVESTMENT FOR A LIFETIME. If you are looking for the best Chinese coin magic or coin set, this is it.
Are you ready to take the leap of faith? If so, welcome to Threaded by Avi Yap.

The "Lazy Professional" Look: Is Hands-Free Luxury Actually Real?
Size: 9.5, Color: Black Napa Leather
Living down here in Florida, my footwear needs are pretty specific. It’s hot, it’s humid, and I spent half my life rushing from the car into work or a meeting. I’ve reached that age where I value efficiency just as much as style—maybe more. I’ve been eyeing the Marc Joseph New York Hands-Free Slip-on Penny Loafers for a while, and after putting them through the wringer, here is the honest truth from someone who just wants to look sharp without the hassle.
The "Just Step-In" Reality
Look, the big selling point here is the "Hands-Free" tech. We’ve all seen the commercials for those athletic slip-ins, but finding that in a legitimate leather penny loafer is a different game. Does it work? Yes, surprisingly well. The heel counter is firm enough that it doesn’t collapse when you slide your foot in, but it doesn’t feel like a piece of plastic digging into your Achilles once you’re in. For those of us who are tired of bending over or hunting for a shoehorn every morning, this is a genuine quality-of-life upgrade.
The Florida Factor: Comfort and Style
The leather is actual calfskin (on most models), which is a must for the Florida heat. Synthetic shoes turn into a sauna within ten minutes, but these breathe reasonably well. The aesthetic is classic—it’s a "professor" shoe through and through. You can wear them with chinos and a blazer for work or throw them on with some nice jeans for a weekend lunch.
Inside, they’ve got a gel heel insert and a padded footbed. It’s not quite "walking on a cloud"—let’s not over-hype it—but it’s a massive step up from the hard, flat soles of traditional dress loafers. I’ve spent four hours on my feet lecturing, and my arches didn’t hate me by the end of the day.
The Sizing Gamble
Here’s where you need to be careful. The consensus from other guys (and my own experience) is that the sizing is a bit of a coin toss. They tend to run a little large and sometimes wide. If you have narrow feet, you might find the sides "gaping" or flaring out when you walk, which kills the sleek look. I’d recommend ordering a half-size down if you’re usually between sizes.
The Breakdown
The Pros:
True Hands-Free: You can actually put these on while holding a coffee and a briefcase. No hands needed.
Legit Materials: The calf leather feels premium and smells like the real deal.
Versatility: Perfectly bridges the gap between a "car shoe" and a formal loafer.
Comfort: The gel insert makes a noticeable difference for long-duration wear.
The Cons:
Sizing Inconsistency: They can run wide, leading to some "heel slip" if you don't get the perfect fit.
Break-in Period: The heel is stiff by design (to allow for the slip-on feature), so expect a day or two of minor stiffness.
Price Point: They aren't cheap, though often on sale.
Value for Money
Are they worth it? If you’re comparing them to high-end Italian brands that cost $500, these are an absolute steal. They look 90% as good for a fraction of the price. However, if you're used to $60 mall shoes, the jump to $150+ might feel steep until you realize you’re paying for the convenience of never having to touch your shoes to put them on. For a daily driver in a professional setting, the value is definitely there.

Step In Look Good
Size: 11.5, Color: Cognac Napa Leather
I am wearing these shoes as I write this review, and they look and feel great. I have a bit of a disability with drop foot on the right leg and bilateral neuropathy and have been wearing step in shoes for about 10 years. But the first company that introduced leather dress and casual shoes stopped making them and now only makes sport and casual shoes. So I have been searching for some that meet my need for shoes like this and this company has given me three pairs, so far. Easy to get into, comfortable to wear, and good looking. And they take polish very well, too. (Remember how to do that?). We may buy another pair or two in different styles as well.

Runs tight. Skinny and smaller than other brands.
Size: 8.5, Color: Brown
Comfy and lots of support. Cushiony. Beware: the brown I ordered runs small. Tighter than other brands.
