A great idea you have and it can work really well.

I would suggest looking at Daniel Garcia's three phase coin into glass routine called 'Quarters' defintiely for the intermediette/advanced magician but a very powerfull impromtu effect. First phase is almost identical to your own (in the look) but is more convincing. Second phase, you actually drop the coin into the glass (yep, they hear it and see it go in) and then it drops out the bottom of the glass. The third and final stage (and most difficult) the spectator holds the glass and you tap the coin against the glass and it goes right through. Could take months/years to master but very impressive.

As aposed to doing your effect after Infusion I would do it before. As with 'Quarters', at the end of the routine, finnish with Infusion for a simple but highly visual and signed penetration.

Cheers Chris,

Ill try and find a demo of Garcias stuff it sounds amazing.

it looks very nice - and I would also recomend checking Danny Garcia's version. Although not as "clean" in some ways as this, it is still very visual, and you "clean up" as part of the effect. I can do phase 1 and 2, but phase 3 im still working on. Phase 3 is the hardest, but also the cleanest, and possibly best! It is on Danny Garcias project, volume 2 - and I think it is the best routine on the tape.....that and his triumph routine!

Picked up volume 3 of the Garcia Project yesterday, I have to agree that Quarters is a stunning routine. Funnily enough I found the second phase the hardest, very knacky, the third is easy enough if you can do the move, fortunately I've spent a lot of painful hours in front of the telly getting it down so I grabbed a glass and did it straight away.

The first phase looks pretty similar to yours Kems but is a bit dirtier. As Blapsing Beard said you clean up integrally after the second phase so the third is lovely and clean and visual plus they hold the glass while you do it. Well worth looking into. There's a demo vid on Ellusionist but you can't really see what's going on, trust me just get the dvd!

I guess its a nice video, but its not exactly nothing new effect/performance wise.

Perhaps a different vanish will compliment the effect more?
