Review
This is what it says on the site:
This is a visual coin-through-glass that does not require magnets, wires, strings, threads, special coins, or special tables. The magician borrows a coin, drops it in the middle of the table, and pushes it through, the coin visibly landing in his empty hand underneath the table. The coin can even be signed, and the coin, with signature on it, is clearly seen in the magician's hand after it falls through the table. With just your bare hands and a coin, you are achieving this.
use any kind of coin
different objects can be used; candy, paperclips, etc.
Easy to perform
My Review
There seems to be a plethora of coin through glass table released adjust recently and now along comes Descent by Kevin Parker.
However this is not just another coin through glass table, this one is different as it uses no gimmicks ( to attach, load or ditch), just a little something to achieve the effect, this little something the majority of you will have in your possession already and in my view is not a gimmick
The effect is a coin is clearly seen to pass through a glass table. Check out the demo at:

The big advantages of this coin through glass table over the others, is that there is no need to carry a gimmick with you all the time, you can use ANY coin unlike the other effects and you can also use a borrowed signed coin. As for the angles they are comparable/similar to the angle restrictions of the other coin through table effect.
Overall
For me this is the ultimate coin through glass table, it ticks all the boxes that I look for in an effect; no gimmick to carry around (though do need a little something, but certainly not a gimmick). Can be done impromptu, can be done with a borrowed coin (any borrowed coin). The angle restrictions are only the same as the other coin through table effects.
Overall this is well worth £12, if you are just starting out in magic it is a good first effect to learn , no complicated sleights to learn. If you are already experienced in magic this is a great effect to add to your repertoire, a quick, clear, simple effect to do when you are asked to do something.
One final note this is available as a DVD or as a download, the download is DRM video, so please be aware it will only work on the computer you install it on.
