Not the best at coin vanishes so I do this.....

Postby magicmonkey » Sep 6th, '06, 23:39



I have no idea how this works, it just does.
It's something to do with the friction created by the rubbing
I came up with it at about 3am about a while back.
Thought I'd share it with you lovely people.

Can be done in short sleeves, naked, surrounded......no issue as there's nothing to hide.
Hope you like my li'l contribution.
Those I've shown around here seem to like it!

Looks good, but the first vanish flashed pretty bad.

Hold on a sec kolisar, that flash might of added to the vanish. It is obvious to any magician what he did to vanish the coin, but it would baffle the layman. When the coin flashes in that hand, the spec thinks he has caught the performer and knows where the coin is. Then the move is done, and both hands are shown empty! This way will probably get better reactions than doing the vanish "properly" would. Good job. This was quite entertaining.

I like that one. And a very clever idea too.

magicmonkey, if it really is totally un gimicked and you don't know how it works, PM me and I'll give you my (yet to be tested) theory.

Then you got me, and good performing, it is not easy to do something "wrong" on purpose. But, if you are performing for a spectator, and although it is supposed to be bad, are you not tipping them off on that vanish and when another magician tried to use it "for real" that spectator will know how it is done?

will make sure my drop is cleaner next time kolisar for that reason, I may refilm this. In other takes the vanish was perfect, howver, I wanted this to all be in one take to show that there is nothing else involved in the main effect. The vanish was not the main point of the vid as I'm sure you figured out.
Open to all feedback, and thanks again :lol:
