All you need is ANY coin about the size of a US quarter
You can do it NAKED!

From the wArPeD mind of Greg Rostami comes STUCK!

You start by borrowing a quarter.
Place the quarter on the back of your hand and proceed to TWIST it into your skin.
When the hand is removed the coin has penetrated the back of the hand.
But WAIT . . . The coin is NOT coming out the other side of the hand . . .
“IT’S STUCK!”
Both hands are shown completely empty . . . there is no sign of the coin.
You then proceed to pull the coin SLOWLY and VISUALLY out of the palm of your hand!

Both the vanish and the reveal of the coin will leave everyone BREATHLESS!

The 40 minute video download, explains in meticulous detail how to perform STUCK!
Greg also shares his insight about the design and psychology of the performance.
You’ll also get 5 variations that will satisfy any performance style.

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'll say 3, but the sleights are easy.

Review
I personally enjoy doing this. My reactions have been amazing. Anything that is totally impromptu wins in my book. I would get the download because the video quality seems to be from the 1980's. Doesn't seem necessary to get the more expensive "high quality" DVD. Good filming though and the content of the video is superb. Very well taught with just enough humor. This is very similar to Revolution which is a good thing. The secret, though, doesn't always work like it should. All in all this is a decent trick that I would recommend if you have the extra cash, but not necessarily a must-buy.

Overall
Hmmm ... 6 out of 10. It lost points for not always working as it should and for the video being poor quality. Still gets great reactions though.
