The Professor, Dai Vernon, summed up Dr. Sawa this way:
"One of the most creative magicians I have ever known. As the saying goes, you have to see it to believe it—and even then, you won't!" Well, grab a seat and see for yourself.
When Dr. Sawa made his grand entrance into the magic scene back in the 1970s, it was like watching fireworks on a Tuesday—totally unexpected and utterly brilliant. His mind-blowing work with all sorts of objects (think paper, seashells, ropes, and of course, coins) was a delightful mix of whimsy and astonishment. Then, out of the blue, he pulled a Houdini and vanished from the magic world for a bit. But fear not! He’s back, and his passion for magic is not just reignited; it’s gone full-on pyro.
L&L Publishing is thrilled to present this cracking multiple-DVD set, featuring nearly fifty new and jaw-dropping coin routines across a whopping six DVDs.
Gold: Three oversized copper Belgian coins strut their stuff. The first transforms into gold, the second follows suit, and then the third takes a detour to silver before turning gold as well! (Because why not?)
Maple: A deceptively simple method reveals a large silver Canadian coin that spruces up with colour—yup, it’s just one coin doing all the heavy lifting.
The Locked Room: Watch a coin penetrate an inverted wineglass, then defy logic by going through a dinner plate, topped off with a cheeky surprise at the end.
Pin Point: A coin with a hole is pinned onto a large safety pin, then makes a leap from rung to rung. Now it’s stuck in an “impossible object” that you can scrutinise to your heart's content.
Cushion Impossible: A ballpoint pen goes through two half-dollars, making holes that appear and vanish like your last good idea. In the end, the coins turn into Chinese coins and guess what? Holes are back!
Lincoln's Paper Weight: Three pennies get shoved into a solid block of transparent acrylic. They’re genuinely inside! You can push them deeper, even all the way through, and the block remains unscathed. Magic, eh?
Goat: A classic Sawa trick gets a modern twist. Twisted tissue creates a “goat” that munches paper balls. When you feed it cash, it coughs up change! (Honestly, who doesn’t want a goat that pays you?)
Bermuda Triangle: An exotic routine where coins defy gravity (and reason) as they pass through a table, culminating in an ending that’ll have you questioning everything.
