Interesting song...haha. Unfortunately, no this trick is not original. I'm not sure if the methods are the same, but the idea is. You can find the effect "Tric-Tac" at this location:

But well executed. Your hand went kind of wild and off screen on impact, but the overall presentation was pretty good.

:wink:

Hey pretty well done there Mini. Nice one. Maybe try it again with the clear box though...

OK I'm pi**ed atm so I may change my mind about this in the morning but my initial impressions are: it looks a lil' suss that you're covering about 3/4 of the tic tac container just as you're about to put the coin in, then when you do put the coin in, everything goes out of camera shot for a second or two.
Overall it looks OK apart from the 2 points I've just highlighted :wink:

I'm prolly gonna have a massive hangover in the morning

Oh well

Lol
too bad when I think I finaly came up with something it turns out to be that someone got it for ages

and yes I know what you mean
it was a little hard to do it with my webcam
It was 2 am so I couldn't set up my Video cam !
but Ill see what I can do
now a quistion
lets say its not the same method
can I sell it?

the one on the site is diffrent than mine
its much better :shock:

well then the question is, if the original is better, why should magicians buy yours? Unless you can offer a really cheap price but looking at this...it would be hard to even get 50 pence off me for your version

by **Renato** » Jul 9th, '06, 11:46

Okay Mini, a few questions: how long ago did you come up with this and how long have you been performing it for? Or is it just something that you came up with a few days ago?

These are all questions worth bearing in mind before thinking about publishing something.

I know I keep posting these links, and they're more to do with publishing your own books, but the advice is priceless.

try and keep it all the screen there dude. i know you didn't but you could have easily switched boxes there!

by **MiniMindFreak** » Jul 9th, '06, 14:47

I created this the same day
why should they buy mine ?
your totaly clean
and it can be done anywhere
and I didn't know there was one
so this one is not for sale
unless someonr wants to buy it

by **Lawrence** » Jul 9th, '06, 14:48

it's not clean by any means!! examinable afterwards only! although if you could incorporate a bix switch it could be a lot better

by **MiniMindFreak** » Jul 9th, '06, 14:50

no its totaly clean
for real
your left clean
and everything you can give the box and the coin to the spectator
no box switches

by **Lawrence** » Jul 9th, '06, 14:51

er... yeah. that's what i said, you're LEFT clean! you coudln't borrow that tic-tac box from someone, whereas you could if you could do a switch.
just trying to help you improve it dude, Lord only knows why i'd bother doing that though

by **MiniMindFreak** » Jul 9th, '06, 14:52

lol!!
o I didn't get it
Sorry
o yes
good Idea
I like it

do you think there is a chance for selling this
I just thought of a way doing it with a signed coin!1
and in order to make it look more good
the top (the whole white thing ) wont be opened
so when they want to take the coin out they have to rip the paper
Now thats good

by **Dave S** » Jul 9th, '06, 15:30

Cool, how about a video for that.

by **Renato** » Jul 9th, '06, 15:31
