Often an old out of fashion coin trick can be revamped to shock innocent bystanders. I do the cig through quarter with the right size pen, instead of a cig. The key is having a smooth switch.
It is like real magic to the spectators. |

I never present anything as being "impossible," just things they believe to be impossible for them. Thus, "REAL and impossible" leads to astonishment and sometimes "must be magic." When coin effects are presented as puzzles or skill demonstration both "real" and "impossible" take on a pastel hue. If by "real" you mean common, familiar or natural, then certainly such objects allow for less suspicion and more "warm fuzzies" with no need of resolution. However, with so many today having beliefs based on vicarious experience rather than "real ones," it is hard to judge what they might consider to be a real experience, or even impossible. Perhaps a performer for an unknown crowd must focus on either 'real' or 'impossible'. Sad if true. I have experimented some with performing behind a TV like frame for some effects, and open and 'naked' for others. The difference in using misdirection and psychological ploys is apparent - as is the noticed response level for the same effect. My guess based on limited testing is that those accustomed to viewing the world on a small screen are less able to handle distractions in a live performance. Does this mean the more limited view is "more real" for them? I don't know.

Especially love the cleanup leaving the half and bottle on the table right after the pop out. So direct and clean. Reinforces the maxim that sometimes you should just DO IT and skip all the "art" . . .

Pop - I did NOT mean it that way. I meant that your natural and normal movements as opposed to the "magi flourishes" of others make this extremely deceiving because the art is concealed as nature -- not because it is artless. To the contrary! Please note in my defense that I opened with a statement that you were (and are) a GOD! With MUCH respect Pop!

Hi Pop, the great thing about your coin in a bottle: it looks the same as if it were real magic.
It LOOKS SLEIGHTLESS, direct and simple. LIKE REAL MAGIC. KUDOS TO YOU. GOD BLESS. |
