I've known this method for forever and you do too. That being said I've never performed it because I
never really had a strong enough presentation for it. Mahdi has done great work giving a really
strong presentation as well as numerous important touches to one of the oldest tricks in the book.
That being said Mahdi spends a significant part of the video talking about his Titanic
Thompson presentation and how important it is but yet its no where to be found. Even in the full
videos you only get after buying the video its clearly cut out.
Mahdi also teaches his
eq******* but he sort of glosses over the first several steps and then only does a good job
explaining what you would do for the last few coins. If you would do it as Mahdi describes it would
look very fishy at least half of the time. Mahdi clearly has more information on that. It looked
much better when he performed it, but its a shame it wasn't shared. That being said, if you are
experienced with eq******* you won't have a problem.
Another point is that there's a good
reason why Mahdi does this with his nose, its much more sensitive, but that may not fit your persona
at all. You can do it with your fingers but there's a greater risk of failure depending how your
spectator holds it.
I have only tried this trick in my dining room and it worked perfectly
every time. I'd be scared to try this trick outside in the summer or other environments like that
without trying it there first.
All in all, a great improvement to an old trick. Mahdi is a
very talented and creative magician and I look forward to seeing more releases from him.
