i know how to do the coin in soda can part, but would like direction to where i could learn the soda can in shoe part.

many thanks

Can you define "learn"?

well - a book or dvd that could provide a tutition into how to preform the effect - the bit where a can appears out of your shoe. I aint asking anyone to tell me how to do it - i am a bit stumpy where to look....

any help would be appreciated

I imagine it's a clever camera edit coupled with a cups and balls type load. I'm sure I've seen how to do it with a miniature can - the ones you can pick up next to the pick n mix at Woolworths. It was either in one of Paul Harris' Art of Astonishment series or somewhere like allmagic.com.

There is an effect in one of the Art of Astonishment series by Paul Harris as you say Zack. I think it is called 'Rock' or 'Earth' and is a large rock to shoe effect. As far as I'm aware dynamo uses this method to achieve the 'can to shoe'.

I think that Zack is spot on with it being a chop cup type load

Lennart Green has a funny bottle to shoe load. It is almost as funny as when he pull a shoe out of a deck of cards!! And Bill Malone does lemon to shoe as part of his bill to lemon effect. None of these loads are anything special since they (like the final load in cups and ball) are done on the offbeat, as a joke in a context without “test conditions”. In short in a situation where you can getting away with anything.

thanks, i think il look in my art of astonishment books for the effect with the rock. Thanks for your help

Learn is To gain knowledge, comprehension, or mastery of through experience or study.

I loved the trick when I saw it, I know the method he uses to pull the can out of his shoe, but his vanish seems so clean, I guess great sleight of hand.
