GONE

GONE

FROM:

http://www.expertmagic.com/html/store/gone/gone.html

What they say:

The vanishing of a coin in a truly visual and spectacular way
Enter stage left....Here comes Ryan Lowe, a newcomer to the magic world. He's here to show you he means
business with his very first video release: GONE

In side this video you'll find out why he is someone to look out for in the future. He has taken something in
magic that is long considered to be old and stale and turned it on it's head.

What effect has he turned on it’s head?
The assisted coin vanish, that's what.

He has taken what we think of effects like the Raven and Melt to a whole new level in this video. He teaches
how to perform one of the most visual and clean vanishes I have ever seen. Not only that but he teaches 5
more that are even better. Vanish on the side, Vanish in front, Vanish with your arms as far away from your
body as possible. And that’s just the basics...

Never has this effect been taken to this high of a level. Truly the way a vanish SHOULD look.

It doesn't stop there as you will learn a completely new way to perform "Lethal Tender", a favorite of many
magicians. You'll learn how to turn a borrowed half dollar into a sponge ball and much much more.

If you’re a fan of "Melt", you'll absolutely love "GONE"


What I say:

Great gimmick but as they said it is very very similar to "Melt" and "Now U C It" by Meir Yedid and Jeff Stewart. Yes it does do what is says and the watch isn't required as it has nothing to do with the trick.


INSTANT DOWNLOAD $20

DVD $26




1.5
(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)

Overall

nice trick and I will use it but if you have already bought either "Melt" or "Now U C It" then i recomend not to buy the trick as (if I'm alowed to say this) almost the same.

(mods please edit this if there is anything wrong thanks.)

I dont want an exposure but I have some questions

1.Does this effect can be done anytime/anywhere? ( if you have the gimmick on you)
2. Can you borrow coin to do this trick?
3. In your opinion, do you think this beat Revolution?

Maybe you're right Krazyace, REV is 'cleaner' and gimmick free :wink:

Both good though.

you can do it with a borrowed coin as the gimmick can be easily attached

Sounds good. Is the gimmick easy/cheap to make? I'm thinking of purchasing the instant download, so I presume it doesn't come with it.
Thanks.

Okay, thank you krazy ace, I'll probably go ahead and buy it in a bit. It looks like a really nice trick.

Definately. Is this very angle-sensitive, by the way? I think I read elsewhere that you can't perform it whilst surrounded.

Okay. I'll order it in a little while, probably within the next couple of days. Seems like a nice trick.
Does anybody know if there are any working coupons for expertmagic.com? Anything that would help bring my order down a little bit, as I'm thinking of purchasing several of their effects.
Thanks again.

noted you say a gimmick is necessary. and the watch is nothing to do with the trick. do you need to wear a wrist band? i never wear wrist bands like that so it will look somewhat "unnatural" if it is necessary. also, pls cfm, are sleeves necessary? many thanks.
