Ok first off it is way under valued!
Second: don't let the low price make you think this is
a cheap gimmicky vanish and production.
This will take lots of work and practice. I am not
that great at coin magic even though I've been practicing magic for over a decade I would consider
myself a beginner when it comes to coins. I will be impressed with myself if I get some semblance of
this routine down in a month a practice.
I was intrigued by this simply because I have
smaller hands and was never able to handle some of the larger coins with any skill. But the routine
that looks this good with only a quarter opens up some great possibilities that I'm very excited
about.
I feel like I will definitely get a lot more value than what I paid for out of this

As an experienced sleight of hand artist it's been a while since I found a routine that tickles my
fancy.
This routine does it!
I always wanted a solid one coin routine with one
hand and I loved the concept.
Spent 6+ hrs of non-stop practice perfecting it and oh boy
was it worth it.
A very fun and pretty routine that is worth putting in the time and
effort. So much so I probably have tendonitis or something but I just can't stop doing it.
If you're a beginner come back when you're prepared to strain yourself with finger gymnastics
and are armed with coin sleight knowledge.
Finger flicking junkies will enjoy this
underground masterpiece.

"Eagle" by Will Fern is a challenging piece of magic. The trick is pure sleight of hand without the
use of misdirection. The strength of "Eagle" is that is can be performed impromptu with a borrowed
quarter.
First, I’ll comment on the obstacles of doing "Eagle." Despite being an
experienced coin worker, I find it difficult to make smooth, rapid, consistent transitions between
the required coin concealments. When performing the main routine of this download it is crucial
to consider spectator angles (never surrounded) and the ambient temperature (sweaty hands are a
problem). Lastly, I have average to large hands without windows and I would not do this with coin
larger than a quarter.
Although this is not an easy routine, I feel it is worth learning
and perfecting. Mr. Fern freely concedes that this is intended for the advanced coin worker and
will take most people time to achieve a quality performance. If nothing else, it is a superb
dexterity exercise. The didactic on this video is excellent and the 2 bonus tricks are solid and
worth your attention. The download is surprisingly inexpensive. In closing, I recommend "Eagle"
for the serious coin magician who want a strong effect and is willing to put in the time.

Perfect for those times when they find out you are a magician and ask to see something. As Will
says in the tutorial this is not for beginning coin workers but for the intermediate to advanced
coin magicians. This will take plenty of time and effort to master but I feel that if I (you) take
the time to learn this, I (you) will always be prepared to amaze them in the moment with nothing
more than a single borrowed coin.
Will’s instructions are excellent and thorough with nice
close camera work showing front, back and fully exposed views.
Also included are two bonus
“one coin” routines to turn is into a three phase routine.
All this for only $5USD. All
there is to do now is “Add to Cart” and practice, practice, practice........

If you are willing to do the work, this might be the best investment you can make in close-up magic
this year. Mr Fern has advanced the methodology of the "slow motion" coin vanish in a couple of very
interesting ways.
You will be spending a few hours with your hand over the bed (because you
will be dropping the coin), staring at yourself in the mirror before this is audience ready. But as
Vernon said, if you don't love practice, find another hobby. It will be time well spent.
I
really appreciate that Will takes the time to TALK about the crediting instead of just rolling names
on screen as so many coin magic videos I've seen do. It shows that he respects the work of other
creators. And his original contributions are worth every penny of the asking price.

It's already been stressed that this is not a beginners effect. However, I want to say this. If
you have no prior coin magic experience then this is a great place to start. Without any bad habits
to break all that's needed is practice. This is not gimmicked coin magic. This is the real deal.
Yes it will take hours ( weeks) of practice. But, it is something that can be learned. By the way,
I have small hands and have been practicing magic for 55 years (since 10)... I'm not a professional
anymore. I'm retired. But I enjoy a challenge. Here's your chance. If you're on an allowance, 5
bucks won't break your bank . Just the knowledge is worth it. Even if you never use it ( but you
will!! .

Its made pretty plain: this is not for beginners. But, it certainly is learnable. And if you put in
the time and learn it, you wont be a beginner any more. Even a seasoned coinworker is going to have
to put in a little time to get this down, so, don't let the idea of practice discourage you from
getting this.

Like chess, easy to learn, difficult to master. Spent about 5 hours adding quarter-sized dents to
the kitchen floor (a towel helps), and progressed to the point that I can get thru the whole thing
without dropping. Worth more than the low price; thanks, Will and PM!

If you are new to magic or, like me relearning things from long ago, This routine is perfect for
getting those hands working in a deceptive graceful manner. You will need to practice this one, a
lot, however like my title the work is well worth it.

Will Fern describes the routine exactly: It will take you a lot of practice to get it down
correctly. Some moves seem to be awkward. But once you learn it, you'll astonish viewers.
