Imagination Coins allows your audience to do the magic in their own hands. Simple, clear and beyond anything they can imagine. If you have used Imagination Coins in the past this information will bring you into a new world of effectiveness.
The participant clearly has four coins that they stack in their own hand. The magician does nothing as the spectator imagines giving the magician a coin and somehow even though the magician does not touch or go near the spectator, it happens: the coin ends up leaving the spectator's hand and materializing in the magician's hand. Then, with another feat of imagination, the coin manifests itself back into the hand of your spectator.
Garrett Thomas' Imagination Coins concept gets revisited and updated with a treasure trove of special bonuses that get even stronger reactions! He re-teaches the original version now with more detail and more intimate close up instruction. Special Guest Eric Jones stops by to interview Garrett on this effect and share some of his personal thoughts on Coins Across.
Many magicians have taken Garrett Thomas' workshop or private lesson on David Roth's Coins Across. Garrett touches on every phase of this classic effect. His complete Coins Across workshop is available here for the first time ever.
As a special bonus you receive the method for the effect that Garrett calls Jump: four quarters being trapped by two pennies instantly vanish between the pennies and appear into your hand.
"It's more than just a coins across, more than a series of sleights... it's an example of how real magic would look." Eric Jones
"It is the only coin trick I would ever do. It's that strong." Luke Jermay
"This effect does not just teach you how to manipulate coins, but how to manipulate your audience. That is what the best magic always accomplishes." Kainoa Harbottle
Gimmick & DVD included. Available in US, British and Euro currencies. You need to provide the regular coins.
Great intelligent trick. Really smart approach on a classic gimmick. Well taught by the master himself Garrett Thomas, multiple live performances, and an in depth instructional video on all the handling and sleights needed. It could be easy to perform if you can handle the angles and the audience management aspect of it and the confidence to perform the needed sleight to accomplish the trick. It is kinda risky, so a lot of practice is needed before you go out there performing this, but the effect is so powerful its worth it. My only negative feedback to this is that you have to play the DVD every time and no download access online for easier accessibility anytime. Other than that, this is a must have for coin workers.
//Imagination Coins//Garrett Thomas & Kozmo MagicI truly believe that Garrett has created the best form of coins across! He takes the concept to the next level by allowing the spectator to hold up the coins. There are no difficult sleights, and in the audience's mind, it appears that the spectator does everything. You can really tell that Garrett performs this a lot, as he has thought out every detail. This is an excellent trick because it is so tangible. The spectator 'feels' the magic happened as they imagine the coin going from their hand to the magician's hand, and later from the magician's to their hand. Garrett is an excellent teacher, and after watching the DVD you'll be performing this like a pro in no time. ncluded is the gimmick, a silicon coin purse, and the DVD. The DVD is minutes long and includes a bonus effect called Jump. This is where four quarters trapped between two pennies vanish and appear into your hand. The bonus effect is ok, but nothing to great.This is one of my favorite tricks to perform at school because it essentially uses pocket change. Ideally you can even borrow someone else's quarters.Overall, this is a workers dream and an essential part of my table hopping set.
No one will be surprised about the nature of this gimmick but I do like the trick. That said, I have marked the package down a tad because my gimmick was sealed fast in a plastic capsule which I had to break open using a triangular file, hacksaw, screwdriver and vice! Why such a performance? I was aware that the slightest disturbance of the gimmick could render it useless and there was little room to manoeuvre. I was successful but I know from reading a review elsewhere that I am not alone in having encountered this problem.
This routine is absolutely fantastic and is definitely worth your money. When I was getting ready to start performing on a more regular basis, a working pro told me I needed to do "cards, coins, and something else" This became my go to coin trick. The only reason why I am not giving this a full 5 stars is because my gimmick was not made as good as it needs to be. My gimmick came to me with a bend in the side which causes it to stick to the quarter and becomes incredibly hard to separate and unusable in performance. Luckily I have others like it in different denominations so I can still perform the routine, but more attention to detail in this gimmick would be nice for the money being paid. However, it could be that I just got one off a bad run, either way, you should certainly pick up this routine.
