Magic Tricks

Of course, this is a modification of Paul Harris' Twilight and well done. The video is nicely produced, downloadable, and clear although subtitled. One coin eventually multiplies into four and TTC et. al. have added an ending to vanish three coins so you end up where you started: one mirror, one coin. Three stars and I decided against 4 for three reasons. (1) The The Moon is very expensive for what you get, a mirror (slightly gaffed) and a nice leather case to hold it. However, you could make it with a standard make-up mirror and minor arts and crafts. No coins are included so you must supply your own expanded sh**l set. I realize the price includes considerable development time but even considering that, the price is high. (2) For one move in particular (pressure tipping up a coin and sh**l behind the mirror), you need a softer mat than those usually sold to magicians; the one in the video is clearly much softer. (3) The vanish of 3 coins at the end where they dissolve into the mirror requires a MUSCLE PASS. The subtitles rather arrogantly state: "You'd better learn to do a muscle pass." Baloney! I can't do that and don't know anyone who can except a few move monkeys. So if you want to vanish the coins, you'll have to come up with an alternate way to do so, probably using a combination of classic pass, click pass, lapping, etc. With a little extra effort they could have included an alternate method to vanish the coins that is compatible with the moves seen earlier in the routine.
