Magic Tricks

Penguin was out of stock when I wanted this item, so I purchased it elsewhere. Be advised, this package comes with GAFFS, and NOT the gimmick. The gimmick (the actual coin-bender) must be constructed by YOU with ordinary items, but the DVD is very clear and well done. There are many performances in the DVD, but the gimmick must be construced by you. Don't get nervous. It uses objects you already have in your home. The finished gimmick, however, (actually two of them) is very hard to hide, conceal, employ, then end up clean. Your audience is paying very, very VERY careful attention to your hand as you bend the coin, and no matter how much you practice, one small "flash" and the party is over. My advice is to buy the DVD just for the ideas on how to construct an inexpensive coin bender, and fresh ideas for utilizing a bent coin. If you have "Spun," there are ideas how the spectator can sign the coin, too. It's much easier and safer to pre-bend the coins, and do shuttle passes, palming and French drops with the coins, as taught on several of the DVD's at Penguin. Jay N. is excellent at these techniques. That way, you won't have to carry vises, pliers and hammers. Being caught with your constructed gimmick just isn't worth the risk.
