Do some people wonder like me exactly how far we can go in our minds, regarding our "SLEIGHT OF HAND " skills in creating COIN MAGIC. . ...To what depth? If there even is a depth!
For a number of years , I've always looked into a mirror and found the reflection of everything fascinating. Please note :I'm saying "REFLECTION".." not the mirror. Has anybody ever really studied reflections ? Here is a good question. Does this reflection actually exist? If it does exist, what is it really? My question to myself has always been:.... Can one throw a Silver Dollar into the reflection? Is this possible? The fact of the matter is of course the mirror would break ..RIGHT? MAYBE! JUST MAYBE!...Does anyone actually know for certain. Has anyone ever tried it? If one holds a Silver dollar up to a mirror ,one sees the reflection right?..Thus making this reflected Silver dollar its counterpart. SO THINK ABOUT IT ...How close can we actually bring the real Silver dollar and the reflected counter part together.....Obviously simply by pressing the Silver dollar against the mirror.... "YET" ..we still slightly see the counterpart reflection. I guess the only way to see one coin would be by imbedding the coin "IN" the actual mirror ..of course making a hole in the glass. "FORGET THAT" THINK ABOUT THIS... If it is impossible to get rid of the counterpart reflection..than why not get rid of the actual coin......... "BUT" then one might say to themselves ,if we get rid of the actual coin than the reflected counterpart coin is also gone...RIGHT? Maybe...JUST MAYBE. Is there a way to keep the reflected coin in the mirror ? Without the real coin outside the mirror? What we must understand is that people have always' assumed that a reflection is nothing but a reflection. Did any one ever try to think within the reflection...Meaning looking out of the mirror into the real world? Can a person actually put his mind in this state of frame..and if so , "HOW"? Situation and Fact: Stand in front of a mirror. Hold a coin in your right hand. Throw the coin into the reflection (not the mirror) ..for an instant these two coins will merge to one at the very impact of the actual mirror..( a minor sound of the two coins merging will be heard on the actual glass ) continuing on into the reflection only to be caught in the right hand" IN THE REFLECTION" Thus leaving "NO COIN" in the real hands out side the mirror. This "CAN" be done for only a fraction of a second or maybe a very little bit longer....result ending of course as you started! I know this type of thinking is not for everyone, and it may bother a lot of magician's. I just wanted to make a point , that if one thinks the impossible regarding sleight of hand ,one can achieve it..ONE WAY OR THE OTHER....SOONER OR LATER.. Providing and only providing we find the answers. "The Answers are out there" how far are you willing to go to find them? Thank you for reading. "INSPIRING THE WORLD WITH COIN MAGIC" MICKEY SILVER |

Daniel H is willing to think more about this .. "EXCELLENT"...For it will be Daniel's thinking is far more important than a coin trick. For it his thinking and his thinking only that will move him to understand the different levels of coin magic and lead him to success. Daniel, Go back and read again very closely what I said.....
..... Obviously there is no such thing as real magic as we know it!!! ..HOWEVER.. If we can think the impossible ,we can create the impossible....Leading of course to what appears to look like real magic...... .... Trust my Daniel, I am the last person in the World to talk rag time...and the very first person in the World to back everything I say..... "EVERYTHING" Glad to see your thinking Daniel instead of just wanting....Your a bright kid Inspiring The "MIND" With Coin Magic, MICKEY SILVER |

You would have to look at the construction of the mirror itself. The mirror is composed of a silver backing covered by glass. If the glass was infinitesimally think then you would be merging the glass and the backing (which is what is giving the reflection) into the same space then the two images would actually touch. Other wise there is still some gap between the image and it's reflection.
Also what if the two images actually switched places. So the coin goes into the mirror as the image travells out of the mirror. Not to mention the studies that have/are being done on holograms. The idea that everything in exostance is a hologram. So who is to say that the coin that we can feel/hold/spend is any more real than the coin that is inhabited inside the reflection. Does a coin even exist? Is it only a hologram and we make up the fact that it exists because we say that we can hold it, spend it, etc.? In reality it was the thought of a coin that first existed. A coin started as a thought. Someone held onto that thought long enough for it to become a reality.... C |

If a tree falls in the forest or a coin is palmed with one hand, does it make a sound? Does it need to?

Okay, Mickey, here goes...I think I got it...
I actually did this and my reflection caught the coin in his right hand. It really worked! My right hand was then empty and then I could even show my left hand empty soon after that! My reflection's right hand was able to still retain the coin! Now how do I get him to give me my fifty cents back!

Mikey,
Maybe I'll have a chance to meet you at Metro Magic. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Like anything else, when you're ready, it will be revealed. Hey, Jonathan Livingston attained his goal, I hope I'm close by when you attain yours. Vince |
