Magic Tricks

This came in and I watched the video instructions all the way through. It is inspiring to see. I know (would like to believe) that with enough practice, I can perform it exactly as is shown and combine with other pen, cap and coin bits.
The over 40 minute video has very detailed close-ups and tips. You will need to purchase 12 mm "dots" to use. The idea of using a white dot and having the spectator sign it was mentioned and seemed like a neat idea.

With this "gimmick" you can let the audience see both sides of the coin while the pen is through which is a benefit over "standard" x through coin gimmicks which would potentially reveal the gimmick on the "back."

The "bonus" handling by Tom Crosbie was also good to watch. He combined and explained other pen and coin tips and subtleties that were great to watch. He taught/reinforced flip stick move, David Williamson's strike vanish and more.

I read another review and do not understand why 1 star was given..so I gave 5 stars to try to balance out that review.

Candidly, my only disappointment was that the "gimmick" half dollar that I received was a bicentennial coin from 1976. For those in the US, you will know that both the date on the front (1776-1976) and the back of the coin (which has the image of independence hall on the back) do not match other years which have a single year date and an eagle on the back. I would like to believe this was an oversight.

I look forward to practicing this and am not disappointed and do not believe there was any unfair representation of the ability of this to work as advertised with practice.

Do not let the fact that I say practice required scare you away, practice required is often required for most good magic.
