The Effect
The performer displays a coin on his open left hand, and a drinking glass in the right. He taps the coin with the glass twice, and on the third tap the coin is seen to visually penetrate the glass and be rattling around inside.
Cost
$14.95, so about £8 or £9...not sure. (from ellusionist.com)
Difficulty
(1=easy to do, 2=No sleights, but not so easy, 3=Some sleights used,
4=Advanced sleights used, 5=Suitable for experienced magicians only)
I would say 3, but an easy 3.
Review
I was very impressed by this, i thought there would be some akward palms or switches, but the method is simple, and can be learned in minutes. The teaching is good, and the trick is so simple that it can be performed confidently without fear of failure (after a bit of practice obviously).
Overall
Very good visual and audible penetration.
8 out of 10.
