When Gary paused before the second sequence/revelation, I thought "Nooo...he's not gonna do
THAT...!" Then, BAM-2 coppers in the right, 5 silvers in the left. I LOVE when a trick jumps off the
screen, and jolts me the same as it did while watching Don Alan's Chop Cup routine as a boy. That
joyful impact that moved me to take up magic so many years ago-and aquire effects like this. I
appreciate how Gary took that ole Thieves and Sheep trick and breathed some serious life and impact
into it. Indeed, the young ladies are offered the coins to examine at the start-something that makes
sense, as many people I've shown English pennies to, have never seen them, and want to examine them.
This show also safely claries the coins as perfectly normal-which they largely are. The video
clarifies all, especially the critical sequencing of pick ups and put downs. 2 special coins are
needed which most magicians will have. I'm short on halves at the moment, and am truly excited to
get some just to be able to do this effect. High impact, just the right length, simple to do, little
pocket space, and, just visually impossible!
