Magic Tricks

Ok- this is my third set of really nice Mark Mason coin sets. I've got Come fly with me, Triception, and now Orient Express. All three routines absolutely rock. The coins are beautiful, the gimmicks are perfect, and the routines rock! All of his products and JB Magics products are first rate- you cant go wrong.
As far as Orient Express, it is Mark's take on the Cooper/Silver/Brass but uses colors instead. This makes it so much easier for the audience to follow. Easier for the magician to follow too. Great routine- actually looks better than the demo.

Effect: 10/10. Mark has taken a classic of magic and added a twist to it. No, actually an improvement to it. Great effect. Easy to follow yet baffling to laymen.

Gimmicks: 10/10- like all their products, this is first rate. The dvd is nicely made. The coins are first rate. The expanded sh*** also has a nice feature built into it- I dropped it during a performance and no one noticed what it was. The she*** landed upside down yet the gimmick was virtually invisible- I was like "wow". You also start clean and end clean.

Teaching: 10/10 Mark is a great teacher. The routine flows well and it is easy to learn. I watched the dvd twice and practiced for an hour or two and was doing magic (Smoothly). the coins do all the work. there are no real sleights involved.

Real World: 10/10 - this is a worker! Easy to carry. Auto reset. Packs small but has a big punch. I love this trick. To me, the price tag is justified by the quality of the effect and gimmicks involved. I highly recommend.
