Magic Tricks

I watched the trailer and immediately figured this out. If you are a coin artist, you will too because it uses a really old technique. But that's not a criticism. Motel Destiny is a simple, very nearly self-working mentalism effect that lends itself well to some storytelling. I love the concept of a special time in a motel room, be it on a honeymoon or a romantic getaway. (Astor even provides a routine for a husband and wife on the DVD.) And I think that your audience will too. The props are exceptional. You get everything that you need--add you own key--in a small tin.

I am not one for using a lot of props in mentalism, but Motel Destiny is an exception. While not a showstopper or closer, it's an excellent effect that spectators will talk about, a perfect in-betweener and something that will allow you to use your performance personality.
