After performing the trick, I agree that the simplicity of the revolution does make a good magic. Showmanship is more important to make magic WOW.

agreed, it is not worth it at all
i figured out the trick after watching it like 50 times
imo, its a really stupid trick =\

If it's a really stupid trick, why did you bother to watch it 50 times to work it out?

Surely the fact that you were intrigued enough to watch it 50 times - just to figure it out makes it a really good trick.

If it was a stupid trick, you wouldn't have bothered.

Besides - as is virtually always the case, the method is really disappointing compared to the effect.

Careful, Pyro - that's exposure. You should edit that post.

whatever you do don't but this trick it stinks... anyone will figure it out and can only be viewed from across the table not from the side.

I bought this from ellusionist, and had the same reaction as some. How can anything that looks that cool be so stupidly simple? But, you know what? Everybody that I do it for is dumbfounded! They just can't figure it out. And it's actually more baffling to them if you do the slightly longer "finger rubbing" version instead of the "rubbing it into the back of your hand" version. I don't particularly like the change version (where you change the coin into a die or whatever) but I use it to empty my hands after doing the "coin thru can" trick. I place it on the back of my hand and do the trick, saying something like "you know, there's something about coins. I don't know if it's in their base metal composition or what, but once you do some magic with them, they seem to retain some of the magic, and you just never know when they are going to disappear" finishing the patter just as I open my empty hands. It's a great little tag on the end of the coin thru can trick, or any other trick in which you end up with a coin or small object in your hands. This is not the type of trick that should be used as an entire effect, it's mainly just a florish. Yes, I think it's expensive and I probably could have learned it from Bobo, but as a beginner, I want to learn some good looking tricks fast, so I can actually have some fun while I'm working on developing my "real" magic. As they say, "Good, Fast, Cheap.... pick two, you can't have all three"..... Yes, I'm reading Bobo... and busting my knuckles... but this is a good visual vanish that I can use in the meantime... The question you need to ask yourself is, what's it worth to you to be able to easily vanish a coin while you're learning to do it the hard way?

Hey Eagle eye, alot of people seem to be having great responses from this trick. Have you thought perhaps that you're not doing it right if you aren't?

It's a silly trick its just slight of hand

Thats a very self-limiting point of view you have there Sky. Personally I look to the end result to make my judgements.

"The ends justify the means..."
I believe it was Machiavelli (*spelling) who said that, and I have to say I agree.

I admit I don't know the trick, but that comment is quite simply priceless!!!!!

Really! Magic involving sleight of hand!

*Rumages in the cupboard looking for a pitchfork and flame torch*

you can do revolution with any coin. you don't need a wristband.It is a nice vanish of a coin. It is (in my opionion) a little on the pricy side. And I do not remember seeing this method in bobo's book.

Dammit. Now you gone and ruined it for us all.
Here we were all hoping it was the real magic we do.
Sleight of hand? Bah.

Save me money thanks...
