I've only started doing magic a few months ago. I've been having a blast, but sometimes it can be tiresome just practicing single vanishes/palms over and over (and over) again without any end game. I'm getting better as time passes, but I'm not ready to devise my own routine yet. This seemed like the perfect place to start putting what I've learned into action.

I've always loved the Spellbound concept, but so many routines, while insanely impressive, are just so blistering fast, it's almost impossible to follow (I guess that's the point) and not near as elegant, in my opinion. This is a graceful piece of silent magic, and something that not only impressed me, but inspired me as well.

Yes, if you've been doing coins for any length of time, chances are you'll be able to spot all of the moves employed here. Even in my limited exposure I was able to deduce what was happening, however, that's the beauty of great magic, we all know how it's done, but it captivates, anyway. I spent 2 days dissecting the trailer that I figured I should support Riccardo for the work he put into this beautiful routine. Anyone just starting out, and not familiar with some of these manipulation should absolutely be taking a look at this.

The video is 20 mins and goes over everything seen as well as some additional moves. Anyone concerned with the "clothing issue" (you know what I mean...if you know what I mean), Riccardo does give examples of performing the routine without it. Overall, I have to say this routine is just perfect in so many ways. It's made me want to practice even more and given me the motivation to begin attempting my own routines as well.

Your phrase "clothing issue" is a fantastic, off the cuff choice of words.
