This is one of those effects that I loved the minute I took it out of the package. Such a great
idea and very powerful visuals.
The problem is that no matter who I show it to, they see
the gimmick. I followed the instructions very carefully .... but as Rick Lax points out in the
video.."You just have to "hope" the spectator doesn't see the gimmick".
You have to do
more than hope .. you have to pray. I tilt it just for a millisecond with great angles and they see
it every time .. which makes me look like crap and the trick pretty much a waste.

I bought this at Live Magic Expo Houston it is very good but the price isn't for one trick 30
dollars I think it cost to much but overall its a good trick it would be better if they lowered the
price to about 15 to 20

There is no doubt the gimmick for this trick is ingenious.
The problem is the end of the trick
when the spectator cuts the deck to hopefully find their card.
I have performed this many tines
and the spectator dies not always cut to the coin and the card. I would be grateful for a different
out or trick ending if this happens.

sure , this trick is not versatile... it's basically one quick routine with a coin and a deck of
cards,
And sure, this gimmick is not examine-able...so you cannot hand over the deck of cards
etc.
But it's such a FANTASTIC trick - so beautiful & genius in his simplicity - that I see
myself using it ALL THE TIME.
I mastered it in 10 minutes. Even less. Everyone I performed
to were astound... the second the coin disappears into the deck is quite baffling.
I don't
let them cut the deck though as I don't want to take a chance of them figuring out the gimmick by
accident... and it's still just an AMAZING magic trick.
I have to be honest - 70% of the
tricks here, I could figure out how they worked just by looking at the demo video. This one I could
not... this says a LOT !
PURE GENIUS - worth the price - you'll use it all the time. Simple to
do - amazing to view ... it has it all !
I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT !! Buy it - you'll love it too !

Rick:
Why are you so smart? I don't know of any other magician except Dean Dill (may he rest in
piece) that can look at a trick and can come up with so many ways to do it differently that the
original way and also better. Looking forward to more of your changes.

I am not a professional magician. I do love magic and have several of Mark Mason's tricks that I
have been very pleased with over the years. This gimmick is really fantastic just as stated in other
reviews that I read before purchasing the trick.
My only problem is when I do the pivot cut
towards the end of the trick, the angle to do it properly shows the bottom of the deck more than I
would like. If anyone has a suggestion to do this another way I would appreciate your guidance
greatly. This I'm sure is me but I really need some alternate method.
Again I'm going to work
this out, because this is such a great combination of coin and/or card magic I have to make it work
for me.

Effects make me love magic for what it is. It's the creators that's come up with this stuff that I
would not in a million years. When someone says if I can do a trick with coins this is the one I do.
It's like find your card but using a using a coin. Similar to Jay sankey in a flash in that it uses
coin to find a card. I use both about the same, but this one is cheaper because I don't have to burn
flash paper every time. Mar mason, I love this guy. Good quality stuff here. One tip is that you
need a little distance because the spectator might see something odd. Best part is that it can be
signed.

I have perform for over 39 years or more and just love this prop. I like the things you can set up
quick. I do some restaurants and events where card and coins. Fred K magic

This is wonderful. Lots of variation and a great double-whammy! Much of the effectiveness is, of
course, dependent on your presentation, but the gimmick makes it easy.

Saw this in person buy the man himself. The gimmick is so clever. The coin vanish is the
coolestpay off the trick, I think.
Highly recommended!
