Add me to the list as well. My eyebrows don't raise at much, but this was a "two eyebrows up" move.

I just viewed Mickey's demo tape. It brings to mind something that Vernon used to say...Do one thing better than anyone else and you will make a name for yourself. Mickey has certainly done that with his work on the retention of vision vanish. I'm looking forward to the DVD on this and whatever else Mickey has to offer.

The magic world has not had this kind of buzz since John Cornelius's coin that falls up or Mike Ammar's Shadow Coins.
God has brought us Mr. Silver and his genius!!!

Just bought a new VCR to watch the demo. (My old one has the tendency to eat tapes and I don't want to risk that!!!) My hands can't stop shaking as I'm watching it!
I'm going to quote what Heather3fly said earlier on this thread: "WOW...looks like real magic!!!" I just viewed the demo and I have to say it is MIND BOGGLING!! My mind kept telling me that there is a coin there, each and every time, even after I knew otherwise. This is a new dimension to the retention of vision which can be applied in countless ways. Mickey was so generous in letting us have this demo free of charge. Even though it's a demo, it contains 30 minutes of fantastic sleight presentation and valuable teachings which made me say, "Ooohhhh, that's why..." It's not an instructional, but rather an explanation of the psychology of this mind-bending illusion. Also, Mickey personally hand-wrote the note on the tape box, complete with his signature! Man, this will become a collector's item one day, one which I am never going to part with. Thank you again, Mickey! |

Well I haven't posted on this topic in a while but I figured now is the time. I forget exactly who said this previously but I quote, "Not only does Mickey blow away the whole ROV vanish and not only does he manipulate the coin, but he also manipulates the ROV itself." When he shows the coin back in the hand and then makes it vanish it really throws people off.
Mickey's a great guy, I have talked to him often and let me tell ya when his pro DVD is released I think it's going to blow a lot of people out of the water, even those "non believers" too. LOL -Bill |

Even if Mickey's DVD contains only the vanish it will be worth every penny. I couldn't sit still while watching it. Like others have said, "I knew exactly what he was doing, but I could never catch him!" Mickey's DVD is destined to be a classic of coin magic!

Bill, you are absolutely right with that quote! In the demo, Mickey mentions the mental retention of the "coin bouncing around". While I was watching the demo, seeing the coin bounce around, I questioned myself, "is the coin really there, even though I see it with my own two eyes???" BAFFLING!!
Josh, my sentiments exactly. Mickey actually TOLD us what he was doing in the demo, but you couldn't catch the "moves", even in frame by frame examination. Man, I have a really busy schedule, but I keep thinking about the SUV every other minute. It's just that amazing!! |

How many of us, right now, are trying to imitate that, until we DO know the secret...?
Honestly, guys, I'm obsessed with this and have been honing my ROPS all this time...can't come close to Mickey's, but man, pretty soon I'll have the SUV to practice. That will make me invest in a LOT of silver dollars, tough little things to find (around here, anyway). You guys working with silver dollars, too, now that you've seen "The Master"? Doug |

Dougini, I'm classic palming a new-straight-from-the-mint 2004 silver dollar as I type this. I have several, in hopes of learning the three-fly one day. I almost work with halves exclusively, but after watching Mickey, I decided to break out my silvers and get a head start!

After viewing Mickey's demo I've tried the move on my own. I'm fooling myself in the mirror, but I'm easily fooled, especially by myself, but that's another issue. Anyway, I can't wait to get the DVD to tighten up my retention vanish.

I just watched a friend's video again tonight...
Even more insane than last time...Even though you KNOW what is happening, there just doesn't seem to be enough time or even muscle movement for the coin to pop in and out of fingerpalm. I just can't explain the darn thing, doing it with two hands has got the be one of the most magical looking coin flurries EVER. You see one coin disappearing and appearing all over the place...just amazing. |

Mickey was kind enough to send me a demo tape as well and, as you can predict, I was just as floored as everyone else by what I saw. What a fine sleight-of-hand artist. Who knew watching a ROV vanish a hundred times could be so much fun! And the routine he did where he vanished three ordinary coins, whoa! How in the world?! Mickey, you're killin' me here! This stuff is too good...
Yes, of course I'll get the DVD.
Thought: Why does man kill? He kills for food. And not only food: frequently there must be a beverage.

Hey Marko! The routine you like where I vanish three silver dollars...all at one time! Has FINALLY been perfected......I come up with an ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC "undetectable" UNGIMMICKED COIN RATTLE that can be shut off without ever "TOUCHING IT" It even amazes me!
I call this routine: " THREE SILVER GHOSTS " EVERYBODYS FRIEND, MICKEY |

Mickey,
Can you turn the rattle both on AND off undetectably? What a great device! |

MICKEY SILVER Elite user Boston, Ma. 442 Posts |
Larry, I can tun it on, ONE time only.....THEN.....off for good. WITH NO HANDS or touch to any part of my body. REALLY AMAZING!

That's good enough for doing Roth's Tuning Fork routine.

Just received the demo tape from Mickey - sent at his expense to me in the UK! Extremely generous and thoughtful. Top man.
I can't add anything to previous member's comments about the quality of the move. Wow! I've even got advanced clearance from my jaded (iro of magic) wife to buy the DVD as soon as it comes out. I had a reasonably competent ROV, now I'm working on my best approximation of the SUV and look forward to comparing what I've come up with the master's method! Oh, BTW 'Three Silver Ghosts' floored me as well. The rattle convincer was amazing. Cheers, Shafique |

MICKEY SILVER Elite user Boston, Ma. 442 Posts |
Hey Shafique, on the tape, while performing " THREE SILVER GHOSTS " The coin noise convincer you hear! are just coins in my left sleeve, if you look carefully it is VERY noticable....I have done away with that...using my NEW UNGIMMICKED COIN RATTLE CONVINCER! I finally realized , less noise IS the best noise. Also my studies have found , THAT WE MAGICIANS have absolutley no reason to "LOOK" at noise, THINK ABOUT IT...after all "NOISE" speaks for itself!

Mickey, I still believe you should charge a thousand dollars per attendee to teach these things.

Mickey,
You fooled me again. I thought I knew where that coin sound in the Three Silver Ghosts came from... until you revealed the actual source. Amazing, truly amazing. I've also started to look at my own ROV techniques, but I don't want to change anything yet. I'd rather wait for the explanation video, and work on that methodology, instead of potentially picking up bad habits trying to decipher your demo video on my own. Everytime I think I know what you're doing, you fool me again. Just amazing. |
