BLACKOUT! is a new utility coin that allows you to perform ridiculously clean vanishes, changes, productions and transposition miracles... right under your spectator's nose! BLACKOUT! is machined to precise specifications by master craftsman Roy Kueppers. It then goes through a second and third stage of meticulous handcrafting and treatment by Mike Platt. The result of this laborious process is a unique gimmick that brilliantly overcomes the inherent problems of combining "BA" with the unforgiving conditions of close-up coin magic. After well over a year of excruciating trial and error, Brian & Mike Platt's BLACKOUT! is here! Perform in any black (or even partially black) shirt, pants or jacket. Comes complete with full length DVD, and everything you need to perform ridiculously clean, impossible looking coin magic.

"It is not until now that there has been such a fantastic gimmick on the market... I'm a perfectionist and I love Blackout!"
-- Mickey Silver

"I think you have solved the problems (with 'BA' and coins) and opened up a whole new dimension in Coin Magic. There is a special thrill magicians get in knowing that they can hide something in plain sight."
-- Gary Kosnitsky

Very well made. Report this review

I think there are a few things that should be said to someone considering a purchase of this gimmick... Firstly, it is VERY well made. You can tell a lot of work went into manufacturing it. With that said, it is somewhat delicate. That's not to put it down though.. I think in order to function in the way that it does, sacrifices had to be made. So when practicing throw a blanket on the floor to lessen the blow to the coin WHEN it falls...and it fell A LOT for me at first..I think I'm lucky I didn't permanently damage it on day 1. Also, it's not quite as "invisible" as I'd hoped... I can't imagine it being made better really, but you need to understand the limitations of using "B.A." up close and play with the best place to "do the dirt". Overall it's pretty effective under the right lighting conditions, and is ESPECIALLY useful if you don't perform in a sport coat/button down shirt/or vest... (otherwise I'd probably go with a topit of some sort).

Lives Up to Billing Report this review

I don't write reviews very often, but this is an exception. I am a 42 year old kid/family magician that also does a fair share of restaurant work. Black Out is everything it claims to be. It truly is the "thumb tip" for coin work. It's very easy to perform, so much so, that I did it "backwards or wrong side out" and only my daughter, who knows the secret, caught it when I did the routine at local Chick-Fil-A. Good magic is easy magic and this is truly good magic. I have to keep reminding myself of how effective it was when I didn't the secret, because when I found out I thought "no way"! I've never been caught and I don't like complex handling, I believe in concentrating on the audience and focusing on them and the "story". This allows me to do just that. You won't be disappointed!

very interesting concept that is underused Report this review

I was interested in using black art coins and making them myself since I could not readily find any. I am not a handy man or craftsman so I don't make things. I was glad to find this and it is very well made and well thought out.
You get a video with good instructions and ideas and the price is right in my opinion.
Looking forward to trying this out.

Awesome!!! Report this review

This coin will allow you to do the cleanest of vanishes. It's like having a topit with no fear of missing and it's in plain view. Retrieval is just as easy and smooth. If you do coins across or some variation it makes the vanish of that last coin super clean, matrix as well. I have both a quarter and half for different routines. If you do any coin work you should have this.

A coin gimmick that can have many applications, in that it can be disappeared or appeared in plain sight and that will be not perceived as a prop or gimmick.
It is well made and well thought out.
