I said yes, but to be honest - this is an effect that 50% will love and the other 50% will want to kill Ellusionist for charging the money for the method.

It's a neat effect to learn, and it CAN open your mind up to new ideas. I will say this - for a coin vanish, I find it rather limiting. It can be done impromptu and with a borrowed coin or small object, but the effect is very unnatural looking.

It's all down to you, my friend. I don't use it at all - but I still think it's an interesting method. Others will say they love it or hate it. If you think it looks cool, go with that. If you like it, you can make it work for you.

Also, are you at the stage where you would actually use it. I mean, you would be a lot better off getting a coin DVD instead if you don't do coin magic already - it lets you do a lot more coin magic for the money.

I have Revolution, and I have done it a couple of times, but I agree wth Demitri in that the method is a bit limiting. I don't think it's that unnatural though...I like the display on the back of the hand as people know you can't be doing anything funny with the coin unless you are a very good contortionist :).

Ramble over...

Kati - I didn't mean the coin on the back of the hand (that part I like), I meant the POSITIONING
