It's a dime bend that takes place in two phases. First the dime is heated up in your hands, then the
dime bends in the spectator's hand. Of all of Tim's great ideas, this one is probably my favorite. I
love the idea of using one gimmick to both create the heat illusion and to facilitate the bend.
Super-clever thinking.
Tim Trono published a version of this trick a while back in Real
Secrets, and I asked him about the inspiration for it. He said this,
"I recalled an item I
saw (using a completely different method) where David Copperfield squeezed a piece of coal and it
changed with light and smoke to a diamond. I loved this effect and it somehow must have stayed in my
mind and influenced me."
It's that combination of the radiating light and the state change
that's so powerful. It's a great example of taking a strong magic trick that doesn't have a 'visual
moment'...and adding a visual moment. In a way that makes sense.
It's easy to do, but the
download is packed with subtitles. Also, you're going to get the new gimmick that will allow you to
do the trick. And yes, this gimmick really is new. It's an update of an older gimmick but this one
is super-bright, which allows for this 'radiation effect.' (Meaning...if you know the gimmick
here...you don't ever directly show it [as you do in the traditional presentation], so the
brightness is an issue, solved by this new gimmick...).
Isn't this a conflict of interest where the person who puts out the trick, reviews it and gives it 5 stars?
Harry, I see this as Tim's trick and was just trying to say nice words about it. I do hope that you at least appreciate that I didn't try to disguise my identity or anything shady like this; I put my own name up there. And, yeah, like I said, this was Tim's idea and I always give credit where credit is due. But feel free to judge this trick from the other reviews. :)
Thanks for the clarification. I always enjoy your stuff and I think I have everything except two of your items. It amazes me how you can turn something so easy to do into something magical ( and I am especially thinking of the tie trick and the pepper in water trick in laptop lectures. And your tips have always been like gold.
Thanks man! Happy to hear!
Thanks for the additional information!👍
Rick .. Great effect.
Love the lamp !!
