This trick is nice and not difficult to do, especially the "easy" version. Unfortunately I think it
is not practical for a few reasons.
1. Must be performed seated and I almost always perform
standing
2. It is not obvious how you get into the starting position, with the gimmick ready, in
front of the spectators. No hint about this problem in the video. All performance video clips begin
with the props already properly setup on the table
3. The props are not examinable
If
you can live with these limitations (I cannot), then you should consider learning this.

This trick to me just isn't that smooth and the angles aren't great. You also need a closeup pad or
a soft surface to perform on or else the trick doesn't work. It's not something I would use but I
think the gimmick has some potential for other routines.

So simple to do, and amazes every time. After watching the video I could perform the trick with
ease. The gimmick is simple, and easy to make and use. It's also a great trick for beginners.

This is a convincing matrix style effect. I enjoy working with coins and was pleasantly surprised
to learn a couple things. His thinking on this trick is very good. It will take practice and does
require a table w/ soft surface; however, it's magic that's easy to follow and pretty incredible.
This would be a nice change of pace during seated card work. The teaching could be improved with
better angles and some emphasis/repetition of important moves; but, I certainly got my money's
worth.

Cons: Possible flashing, cannot be surrounded
Pros: Easy to do, gimmick is easy to construct
I've been looking to add a few coin routines that I can use in my set. The gimmick packs
small and can be used pretty quickly, and the reset should only take a few seconds. I like that he
gives a few handling techniques so that you can decide which is best for you. This is mainly for
seated magicians, but I'm sure it can be done standing at a table as well.

So I just got this and practiced a bit then thought I would see how I did in the real world and I
have to say this is not only fun to perform but you have several genuine moments of awe from your
spectators. I highly recommend this and you won't be disappointed. I am going to use this alot

I like Mario's presentation & I think the easily made gimmick will be used to improve other
(prediction) tricks.

While I am not big into performing coin magic, this is easy to do and I will be doing this. I like
the second handling best. I am not brave enough to try the third handling. Learned the basics
quickly and am on to the polishing of the affect and coming up with a non-silent patter. Although
silence is golden.
