Remember Mickey has a lot of people to contact plus he has a lot of people from the US alone.

Well, there is at least one, and he really is not a bad guy. Actually if you use what Mickey does explain in his demo, you will be able to pretty much do what he does. I think he has already tipped his method. Illusion is in the mind of the spectator, not in the gimmick/method. Mickey shows how you can manipulate perception with coins. I have learned a lot from him and have incorporated his ideas into my magic. Just knowing the mechanics of his SUV will not make the illusion work.

Yes, Vinniy, this is true - but I don't want to get into semantics. What I think is different about Mickey's vanishes is that he tackled a certain problem with coin passes. The problem is that there will usually be at least a little doubt by the spectator as to whether the coin was actually put in the other hand -- even if the visual is very convincing. Mickey attempts to erase all doubt. He does this with false passes in his routine where he does not need them, so "real" moves are the same as the pass - and with 'entertaining' body language. Of course he is a talented and skilled manipulator. I still believe that the skill is a tool to a greater end. Lay people don't know/appreciate the work involved to get to such a level. The "moves" should not even be percieved by the audience.

He solved a problem involving visible thumb action.
Anyone received a DVD yet?

Email him and request a demo. He has slowed down on reponding due to a lot of requests, but he is a terrific guy to give these away for the asking. It's a real fun-to-watch move. It tickled me such that I'll watch it just to cheer me up sometimes. (alright.... I'm a little wierd) His email is on his web page (I lost the address for the page -- please post it if anyone knows it) anyway... his email: SweeneyFM@aol.com

Duane you are correct in what you say however it all starts with his suv.I lknow Mickey better than anyone on this board,and I consider him the greatest coin worker since Slydini. This is what makes him so unique, again it all starts with the SUV....

Well at least we don't have that guy offering to teach the SUV in seminars. ( unless Mickey gives him permission )

Yes, his skill is tops. Yes that's important. I still maintain that performance is most important -- at least for lay audiences. thx.... D.Duane :O) |

Well, you know what they say about publicity...any publicity is good publicity...as long as they are talking about you (in this case Mickey Silver).

I think it is a great gesture on Mickey Silver's Part! Even if it is not what you expect it to be, give the guy a pat on the shoulder for at least making the effort at no cost to you. I don't think I have heard of anything as generous in this field. Thanks Mickey Silver and good luck!
Where I go, so do my coins.....

Yeah, Mickey deserves respect. If you had one of magic's greatest secrets would you have a big of heart as Mickey to release it for free to all!

Except he hasn't released it.
