You must be careful when moving small objects like a pen to make sure to use the force start and "Set it Free" which will cause a disconnect in their minds from your hands. If you do not, you are pointing to the method in an obvious way, which is exactly why those two techniques are taught on the DVD. If you cannot seem to master those, move to larger objects which also helps people be amazed.
I was at a birthday party the other day and there was a very long and large cutting knife. I picked it up, prepared it then called everyone's attention to it as I set it on top of a smooth surface (Large sparkling water bottle with metal cap)
I used the force start and slowly...slowly, the knife began to move. It built up speed and after several rotations, I dropped my hands to my side smiling as the knife continued to spin through 2 more revolutions with my hands nowhere near it. That is what you can do when you use the force start, move larger items, and set them free. practice it until you believe it yourself, then you are ready to perform it. -Matt

Here is a great recent comment about SPIN. It made my day. Enjoy! -Matt Sconce
I have to say that of all the effects and tricks I know, Spin constantly gets me the best reactions. Specs who see me perform all the time constantly say something along the lines of "that last trick you did was amazing, but I just know there is something sneaky I'm not seeing. But THIS one (Spin) is real magic. You are a real magician." I even had someone ask me if I had a spirit helper! And the best part of Spin is, it is totally impromptu. It can be done just about anywhere in any situation. I love it. I've said it before and I'll say it again....thanks Matt for this one...it's fantastic! -Jeffy225

Here is a GREAT story and review from a skeptical buyer of SPIN that was posted on the cafe. I love hearing these stories involving families doing magic together and thought I would share. Enjoy! -Matt Sconce
DeWayne from Cafe wrote wrote:Just got back from a convention where my son and I purchased the Spin DVD (directly from Paper Crane booth) after seeing it demonstrated with a huge vacuum nozzle attachment. The rest of the weekend I'm just thinking "too good to be true". Got home late my son went straight to bed, I stayed up and watched half the DVD. After the first 7 minutes I'm thinking I've been suckered. Then I pick up the bottle of nail polish sitting on my coffee table and the pen they gave us at the convention. Badda bing...first try. I amazed myself! Spinning just like the video. I go to bed. Show my son (this kind of thing is more up his alley) first thing when he gets up. His jaw drops! We discuss wether I'm going to show him or he's going to watch the DVD. He wins, I show him what to do (after I only watched 1/2 the DVD the night before). He's doing it in minutes. About 10 minutes later he shows it to his mom using a full two liter of Mt. DeW and a pen off his dresser. This is a woman who has been our guinea pig for new stuff for twenty five years. She has no problem busting our chops when she sees stuff. SPIN - NOT A CLUE! My son had it going so long I told him to stop before he gave the method away. She still didn't know. My son says, "I feel like I really have magical powers".
I only post this as I really did feel like there was NO WAY this DVD was coming close to the copy. It was my "long shot" purchase at the convention. The ad copy actually bugged me enough to stay up to see the method. The long shot paid off...it's one of our winning things from this convention.
