Al, Madison, I am happy you are using the routines in the book and I am sure they will serve you well. Thank you for all the positive feedback. It really means a lot to me. Don't forget to join the UnVeil owners group of Facebook for additional ideas.

In regards to the coin toss, are you controlling it in the air, or once you have it landed in your hand will you know which way up it is and therefore switch if necessary? I'm after a clean method for the later.

Just to clear things up. This IS a controlled coin toss. You can control if it's going to be heads or tails. A similar technique has been explored by other performers (credited in the book) but what makes this different is the use of a slightly gimmicked coin that makes it impossible to fail. I think this is the cleanest I could do. Here's a video of what it looks like.
https://youtu.be/wrKxMDP2DuQ P.S.: It looks like that every single time and you can throw the coin as high as you want in the air, I was just trying to keep it in frame. |

The coin is very reliable. My only problem is I'm pretty sure I misplaced it because it looks so much like a normal coin.
I haven't read all of Unveil yet, but I did use my own version of The Brick Opener routine, which uses the coin, to close out my most recent shows. It's everything I like in a method - simple, straight forward, and reliable.

I am happy to hear that the routine works well for you Christopher. There are instructions in the book on how to make your own coins. Feel free to message me if you have any difficulty with making one.

Thanks Manos - but it seems pretty straight forward. Doubt I'll have any trouble. It really is very clever.

Yes.
The coin toss itself is not controlled, the outcome is.

Yes, that is true. As stated in the first post of the first page the coin is tossed in the air "where it spins uncontrollably". However the performer is still able to control the outcome as demonstrated in the video.

I've had a few people private message me about availability so I will leave this here.
I've got 3 books left that come with the props needed to perform some of the effects at £55 plus shipping. After those are gone, the rest of the copies are available at £50 plus shipping (props sold separately). Thank you for your time. |

Finally had the chance to read through the rest of this.
Brick Opener is definitely my favorite piece in the book. Kind of peeked early, there. Drawing a Blank is a solid method with a lot of potential. Between those two, I feel I got my money's worth.

Thank you for taking the time to write something about the routines Chris. Brick Opener has definitely become one of my favourite routines as well. I use it all the time. I am glad you like it as well.

I will just leave this update here since I am getting a few messages the last few days asking about availability.
The copies that came with props are now sold out and the rest of the books that are left are available from me directly or MindFx for £50 but no props. It is possible to throw in a gimmicked coin if there are any left but message us first to make sure. Thanks again for the help and support. Have a great day everyone. |
