This Tarbell lesson was the same caliber technically as all the others but seemed to be lacking in
performance enthusiasm. Dan’s performance seemed lack luster at points but don’t get me wrong this
lesson still has its gems. The stand outs of this lesson included:
Four Coin Roll out- this
flourish is displayed beautifully in the hands of master close up conjurer Johnny Ace Palmer
The Single Coin Flourish a.k.a. the Coin Roll- this like the roll out is shown beautifully by
Dan’s Friend Brandon Gerald. This is worth learning.
The French Pill Box Mystery- This is a
practical version of a nest of boxes effect. Three coins travel into a sealed box but I see this
easily being adapting to a borrowed finger ring or other small object.
Okito Box- This
routine is sweet and to the point. It does a good job of explaining the box and making it a part of
the overall story within the routine.
Chameleon Poker Chips- This has the most potential
out of everything else of the lesson. Poker chips continual increase in value lending to a fun
routine. I feel that someone like Mark Mason or Alan Wong could help bring this trick to market.
This lesson remains true to its add copy but I personally didn’t feel the usual Tarbell
energy we have seen in past lessons. This lesson is great for the conjurer wishing to add a few coin
mysteries to their bag or tricks.
