I saw this one guy who had some downloadable videos of him making a coin vanish without using a Raven. It was very nice.
He takes his hand, puts the coin in, then rolls his other hand over it, then seconds later shows both hands empty. Clearly the coin WAS gone. After watching it frame by frame it took me hours to finally figure out how he was doing it. Without the reveal, (those of you who know how it is done) I thought of a more interesting way without a transfer from one hand to another.. I hold the coin between my right thumb and index finger, then I make a circle with my other hand in the "O.K." position Then I tell the spectator that I'm going to transfer the coin from one hand and have it lodge into the makeshift circle in my left without touching hands. The I make like I'm aiming with a few trial runs, then poof, the coin is gone. Done. Making them think that you're going to try to lodge the coin, gets them to focus on the left hand vrs following the hand with the coin in it. Hope that did'nt reveal too much, just trying to get people thinking about other ways to do this sort of thing. When I find a video of the orginal guy I saw doing the trick, I'll send it out. |

Joel, after 50 posts you will have access to a forum where it is easier to discuss such things.
One fellow here posted some great videos and is open to discussing technique. There are several people who post to the Café who might also be able to discuss. 50 is the magic number. And welcome aboard.
...to all the coins I've dropped here

Should I edit this down? I don't want to reveal anything, but man is it a wonderful poor man's Raven, in fact it seems to work better and you can do it anywhere.
JonTown are you a mod? Thanks for the insight on the 50, I had no idea. I'm just happy to find a place to talk about my favorite passion! I feel like a kid in a candy store |

I wouldn't say you need to take it down. People in the know on what you are talking about know, and I don't see how those you don't will. Nice idea but I have seen someone else perform this. I don't know if you are the same person because he is of a different forum.

Hi, I think you are talking about Greg Rostami. He has posted a few vids with some well exhibited vanishes on them. His first set off a whole forest fire of flames.
