Yes! I've figured it out :D It does require a lot of practise though

Just thought I should comment this trick.

First of all: if you need an ultimate closer, this is the one to get. It's SO pure. It's SO clean. It's SO strong. Your audience will go N-U-T-S. Really!

Secondly: Yes, it takes some practice, but HEY, what do you expect? It will be your favourite closer (or opener if you like) ever, and you will gain alot of reactions. But again, it's not that much of practice. If you are familiar with magic, moves, and different handlings, it should be down pretty fast.

Finally: Just get it. It's worth every penny.

Well, I gave in to temptation and finally ordered a copy.

It arrived this morning and I gotta admit, I'm more than impressed :D

Anyone who's in two minds whether to buy this, ask yourself - why ? Ok it's £20 ish but believe me it's more than worth it. If you are like me and do not consider yourself to be a master of slight of hand and are wondering whether or not you'll be able to manage all the complicated slight of hand moves - let me put your mind at rest and assure you there aren't any. Granted, there are (obviously!) a few moves to learn and the whole routine takes a little practice to master but I recommend this trick 100%.

The only prerequisite for this trick is that you can see and you have two fully functional hands - it really is that straight forward.

Go on - buy it - you know you wanna :roll:

This gets a 10/10 from me :)

If we can sue McDonalds for making us fat and cigarette companies for giving us cancer; why can't we sue Smirnoff for all the ugly gits we've sh*gged ??

I went up to my sister's today (Xmas meal n all that!), and decided to perform this for the four unlucky unsuspecting victims :shock: I didn't tell em what I was gonna do I just went through the routine.

Even though I kinda made what I thought was a bit of a mess of it at one point, 'cos the coin didn't cleanly do what it was supposed to do :oops: (sorry I can't say more, but if u know the trick you'll have an idea what I'm going on about), they never saw a thing and their reaction was "OMG how the f*** did u do that?"

It felt to me a little clumsy, but I asked for their feedback and they all said the same thing - they never saw a thing and the handling looked smooth and natural, *steps back and takes a bow*

I can't stress enough how much I love this trick, it's so simple and so clean - I've been sat in front of the TV for the past 2 days with a can of coke and a 10p piece practicing the moves.

All I can say is buy it - you WON'T be disappointed :D

This is a really great effect...I was thinking of a completely different method for the first phase so that was a nice surprise.

Even though I am echoing the words of many previous posters, it really is a beautifully thought-out effect, all logical and well-structured. Great piece of impromptu magic.

I can hazard a guess at how the levitation is done, but I'll still probably buy the next volume in the series. It's a fun DVD to watch as well.

Not had time to practice the trick yet but I've watched the DVD and it is Mint...Pure Gold Edition...SPANKtastic. I can't wait to get this perfected and perfrom it. I think my spare time for the next week has just been taken up!

Really this is worth EVERY penny!

Thanks for the reviews on here people!

Right I've had time to play with it now...after a solid couple of hour getting the moves right last night I felt confident enough to perfrom it to my brother (he's always first to see any new tricks I get). It was the best reaction I have ever had from him...he could not believe it...and this was after only a couple of hours. I'm not going to show it to anyone else just yet as I though it could have been a bit smoother, but it is safe to say this trick in bloomin awesome! If you have not got it already...GO BUY IT NOW!!!

I got this yesterday and spent about an hour on this. Very simple to learn from the DVD and the method is broken down into easy stages.

I did my first performance this evening with a tin of Carling and it was like using a tazar on the people that I showed it to - i.e. they were stunned and it took a couple of minutes for them to come around.

I can't remember anything as impromptu that produced such reactions.

I need to refine my presentation a little more and experiment with a few different cans.
