It's great to mix in a trick that isn't a card trick into the middle of a doing a card trick or two
- it takes people by surprise.
This is 100% easy to do, with the easiest of moves to the
point it's practically self working and is perfect for magicians of all skill levels. I practiced it
once -and was ready to go and wowed my family.
The video was short/sweet and to the point
and included quality teaching.
Organically - I respect how street performers have used this
trick - and I think the whole picking the can up off the street or from a garbage can is an
interesting way to go - but - what I did was had a glass of diet coke that I drank from a little bit
in a casual setting as I was doing a card trick or two and made sure to pause to drink from it and
had the empty can nearby. Then talked about being a lazy magician and wishing there was a way I
didn't have to get up to go get more soda - and alas came up with a way. My small crowd was caught
completely off guard.
The fact you can also do this trick with beer or any canned beverage
leads to so many fun scenarios!
I will say keeping it organic and having a good minute or
two for prep and a little bit of time to innocuously plant your can is important - but truly the
easiest of things to be worked out.
I am curious as to how long the can is able to sit
before a performance - I'm guessing 5 minutes or so is about the limit but look forward to
experimenting with that and maybe seeing what people say in the forums.
The fact they
supply you with 100 pre-made gimmicks is fantastic and makes this trick all the easier!
Buy this trick - you'll be happy you did!
