The Advertising.
The magician produces a coin to illustrate a simple math problem. As he removes the coin from his hand, he asks a spectator, "What is one minus one?" "None!" the spectator confirms. The magician then opens his hand a small nun is produced!
Difficulty. 2/5
1=Even I can do it, 2=No sleights, but not so easy, 3=Some sleights used,
4=Advanced sleights used, 5=Suitable for experienced magicians only)
Yes a sleight is used, but I doubt there is one easier.
Review.
This is not something I would have bought. It was a Christmas present that I initially dismissed, but since I got it out again, I have to confess that I haven’t had so much fun with magic for ages. I haven’t had the opportunity yet to perform it in a live situation but I will.
My initial thoughts were that this would be a very nice “between tricks” piece. In fact I nearly said as such in the “between tricks” thread here at TalkMagic, but I am now even considering it as an opener as I suspect it could be a very nice ice breaker.
Rating.
Effect/item: 10/10, Quality of goods: 8/10, Value for money: 8/10
Bottom Line.
This isn’t earth shattering, this is a quick amusing piece of magic, but it has to be said it gets very good reactions. Reactions far better than I would have ever suspected.
If nothing else it makes me think that I should be looking around at everyday object more and inventing this kind of thing myself.
Well done Michael Mode for the idea.
