S.E.M. (The Sun, the Earth, the Moon)
AT LAST, A SUN AND MOON ROUTINE THAT ACTUALLY CELEBRATES THE SUN AND MOON!


What is S.E.M.?

S.E.M. flips the traditional sun and moon copper/silver transposition on its head (and probably does a little dance while it's at it)! This routine comes with its own special props and can be performed as a five-minute showpiece (whether you're standing or sitting) for larger audiences, or you can streamline it for table hopping. With a straightforward handling, you can whip this out of your pocket and perform on the fly — no faffing about!

What happens:

You introduce a vibrant globe and a cheeky little denim pocket containing some coins. The coins, featuring the sun and the moon, can be inspected (go on, have a poke around!). First, the sun and moon switch places, then—wait for it—the moon vanishes and pops up under the globe. The globe is lifted from its base, and lo and behold, it magically turns transparent!

Then, the sun gets shoved inside the pocket and cheekily penetrates right through it. A spectator can examine the pocket and plop the coin back inside, but surprise! It penetrates again! The coins do their magic switcheroo, then completely vanish. One coin reappears under the globe, while the other drops back out of the pocket. Both coins can be scrutinised, and your hands are as clean as a whistle!

What you get:
  • A dollar-sized copper coin featuring the Aztec Sun stone.
  • A matching copper shell.
  • Two copper/silver inserts that fit snugly into the shell (and are impressively thick, unlike those pesky wafer-thin inserts you usually see).
  • A steel-shimmed Eisenhower bicentennial dollar with a moon image.
  • A small denim pocket.
  • A colourful metal globe with a cleverly gimmicked base.
  • A matching clear globe and ball holder.
  • An open servant (don’t worry, it’s not what it sounds like!).
  • Access to a one hour, twenty-minute online video tutorial.
  • A bonus link for two additional handlings!
  • A written script with extra tips, signed by Dr. Michael Rubinstein.
  • Limited to just 100 sets!! Comes with a numbered and signed card as proof of authenticity.
  • Packed in a sturdy square box with a magnetic lid.
Special bonus: One in every 20 sets will include a genuine David Roth business card!

Here's what people are saying:

"This is like getting an entire magic act in a box. So much cool stuff. Dr. Rubinstein has done it again. Not only are the routines and ideas that he provides absolutely awesome visual magic. But the props are of the highest order. Ted Bogusta is a master craftsman, and these sun and moon gimmicks are absolutely beautiful. There is nothing like them available. I can't recommend this set highly enough. Congratulations Michael. Another winner!!!!"
- Nathan Kranzo

"Dr. Rubinstein has done it again with another showpiece routine in the style that David Roth made famous over 40 years ago. S.E.M. is a modular, multi-phase routine that is perfect (and adaptable) for parlor, table hopping and formal close up (sitting at a table)."
- Mike Peckham

"S.E.M is beautifully crafted. It is highly portable and easy to use in different environments. The coins are of top-notch quality. The [ has perfect coverage. This set is on a par with coins I have from the late, great Todd Lassen. Michael has produced a wonderful effect. It is a very well-thought out routine and the video instruction is everything I have come to expect from Michael, including some wonderful close-ups from the magician's view. For any serious coin worker S.E.M is well worth the investment."
- Jeremy Vine

"What you receive is truly a special piece of magic. This is an entire showpiece. And it reminds me of David Roth's work with a complete performance with props. Best of all are the gimmicked coins that you receive. The quality is absolutely beautiful. These coins alone are almost worth the price of the entire package. The tutorial is fantastic. I love the concept. Its taking the sun and moon routine and elevating it to such a high level!"
- Rick Holcombe

"The coins are gorgeous. The tutorial is like a mini master class in coin magic. I'm giving this 100%!"
