Coin-to-cash Conversion Vending Machine


Coins are a nuisance for most people, because it is very heavy if you have many. But you will not throw it or ask the supermarket or shops don’t give you any coins. So now there is a good machine can help it.

The Coinstar Centre features Coinstar-branded coin counting and is fun and easy. Just follow the instructions on the screen and you are a few button pushes away from turning your coins into cash. This machine not just let you turn your Coins into Cash or Shopping, but it can also donate your Coins to Charity (UK Only). If you just have a little amount of coins, you can just donate it.

I think it is really a good idea, because it can help to needed just only everyone inserts a little amount of money. And also if you can insert an amount of money you can change back to notes or also supermarket cash. So from now on you don’t need to carry somany coins and think that how to use it everywhere. And I think their locations are also really good, they put the machine outside the supermarket or mall site. It’s good because after people shopping or buying things they must have some change, and now they can change it to notes or donate it, I think many people must like it.

How to take someones wallet, just by asking



This is a video that Derren Brown just by asking and can take someones wallet, mobile phone and watch.

Derren Victor Brown is an english magician, psychological illusionist, mentalist, painter and self-professed sceptic regarding paranormal phenomena. He is a unique force in the world of illusion - he can seemingly predict and control human behaviour.He doesn't claim to be a mind-reader, instead he describes his craft as a mixture of magic, suggestion, psychology, misdirection and showmanship. Whatever you choose to call it, his unparalleled performances amaze and unsettle all those who watch him. This is a powerful and provocative form of entertainment, unlikely to be imitated for a long while.

It has been suggested that many of his routines are simply standard magic tricks, and that no suggestion, hypnosis or other 'mind control' techniques are ever actually used. By his own admission, Brown uses 'magic, suggestion, psychology, misdirection and showmanship'. One feature of Brown's television and live shows is that he often appears to show the audience how a particular effect was used - often by placing words or pictures into a subject's mind with submliminal gestures or language. Some have suggested that it is these explanations which are at the very heart of Brown's misdirection, that, by making the audience feel it knows how the trick is being achieved, he is able to hide the true methods by which the magical effects are created.

Many magicians take the view that, regardless of how his effects are achieved, Brown is a brilliantly skilled and entertaining performer. However, the criticism persists that, Brown is not just tricking but lying to his audience. While he may not claim to have psychic powers, he does claim to be using psychological techniques rather than simple parlour tricks, stooges and judicious editing.

Sun Screen Vending Machine

Every summer, the most popular place must be beach and swimming pool, nearly everyone will go there to have a walk or have fun with their families and friends. A company called Sunscreen Mist, is a automated sunscreen and tanning mist vending machine/booth which situated near a popular beach. I think it is a good idea, because in the market there were just few competitors, not much competition, and also this is a new product, people will want to try many new things. And I think it put in a correct location, people who go to the beach they also want tanning mist and now have a vending machine, people can use it everytime indoor.Besides, it is easy for buyers to set-up and maintain and promote, it is customizable, so the exterior fits in variety of settings, it is extremely durable, it is quick and easy for users of all ages and also the most important thing is that it is safe and comfortable to use.

But I think there is a problem also; it needs sunshine all the time because it is a sunscreen vending machine. If it is raining, you can’t use it.

Gernating and Protecting Business Ideas


Ice Cream vending machine

Ice-cream is a food that I like most. During summer, buying ice-cream become my necessary things to do everyday. Not just summer, even now in winter I also will buy ice-cream to eat.

Now a firm has created ice cream vending machines capable for offering up to 12 flavours and 6 mix-ins at once. I think it is a good idea for sometimes, because sometimes I want to eat ice cream the shop near me are not selling, so if I just go to a vending machine then I can have one. And I can buy it for 24 hours, even at the midnight. And it can save the staff for selling the ice cream, the rent for a shop and also the water and electric fee. Most of the ice cream vending machines just have the maximum 4 or 5 flovours, but now there have 12 flavours and also 6 mix-ins.

But there maybe some problems also. If there were suddenly short-cut, what will happen to all the ice cream, they must throw all away. And if people want to try before buy that ice cream, they can’t do it. Not much people will buy it in the mid-night also.

In-Store Surfing Simulator

Many shops provided fitting room for people who want to try the clothes, see if it suitable for you and do you really like this style. But if you want to buy a wakeboards, how can you try it?

Now, a company Adrenalina which is a shop for selling wakeboards and also other water-ski equipments. They provide an indoor surfing simulation experience with wakeboards. Originally it is just available on cruise ships and in water theme parks. I think it is a good business idea. Because first you can promote your wakeboards to someone that never get in touch with this new kind of activity, second you can let the customers to try their new wakeboards if they wanted to do so. But I think the most profit they can earn is from the people who want to play wakeboards all the time, because it is an indoor activity, so people can just play it whatever the weather is and enjoy themselves.

But I think there is a weakness is that because it is an indoor activity and also it is transparent, all people outside can see you, maybe you may feel embarrassed if everyone is looking at you in the same time. But wakeboard is not a easy activity, the people who play or try must not be a beginner, they must have some experience, so I think it may not be an important problem.
