I have to admit Needle thru Balloon is really fantastic! I still get that gut feeling every time I perform it. It always makes me smile when I do it.

Good magic to all,

Invisible deck. Extreme Burn 2.0.

Glorpy the Ghost aka Hyrum the Haunted Hank, very entertaining and always enjoyable by any audience.

Steve Dusheck's Lethal Tender is as close as one could get to real magic. Two coins (a half dollar and Chinese with hole in its center) are displayed in a card wallet along with a card. The silver coin visually changes to the brass coin in a spectaotor's hand. The half dollar is found in a wallet another spectator was holding from when the effect started. All can be examined now!

Another "close to real" magic effect is Dusheck's Card Coin. This is a half dollar that visually changes into a playing card-no sleights! It can also be used as a tremendous utility item in a matrix effect. Incidentally, Tony Slydini, one of the most prolific close-up magicians of the twentieth century was fooled by some of Steve's magic. Slydini said Steve used extremely clever gimmickry in his magic!

And Luna. Definitely Luna.

Tim Wisemans Mind Wheel- This just BAFFELS them. I start with this setup and then let them tear it down and see every thing is normal!!!!!
Astor Trio - You could start your own religion with this
Astor Mental
Slo Motion
Rat Trap is freaking people out too!

Card To Wallet, empty hand, no palming, no scrummage inside a jacket.

Although not really using gimmicks in the broader sense, I think from a layman's point of view, this is one of the most magical performances I've seen:

The cool thing is, most of us know exactly what he's doing, but he's super-slick! He does, of course, have gimmicks for all the loads. But this takes a LOT of practise.....

Aces In Their Faces comes to mind and more recently Dan Harlan's "Awakening" version of Professors Nightmare (which I am still working on and planning to debut in a show next month).

Gotta say...red silk vanish with TT, from spec view, is close up clear real magic
Just saying.

That was just brilliant! An old routine that is common but still he did it really well! All of his choreography, song, and visual effect are nothing but perfection!

Thanks for sharing it here.

Saw SLOW MOTION yesterday... that beat's 'em all... can't wait for mine to arrive.

I have had great success and wonderful reactions with Daryl's Ultimate Ambition. Great effect on the audience.

Another vote for Prohibition. It fooled the pants off me when I first saw this.

So you got won over by SlowMotion, Pete? I been thinking about getting it, just had that little doubt for some reason.

I also say silk vanish from hand
with a tt looks like pure magic.

Although it's soon to be released, my buddy Jeff Kaylor (TKO) is putting out his "Any Signed Card to ANY Borrowed Wallet". I mean...it just doesn't get any stronger than this! I've seen this thing in action and it's HOT!

!Warning by Kosta Kimlat is pretty amazing when done well

Mr. 12d3,

Clean and stunning? If by stunning you mean impossible and not flashy, I'm going to have to vote for Mr. Dean Dill's Revelation. It has never once failed to amaze. If you mean flashy, then I'll go with anything with a White Lion.

Respectfully,

Phil
