If you’re on the hunt for a magic DVD collection that actually delivers, search no more! This stellar compilation is basically a magic masterclass featuring some of the best in the biz sharing their secrets on classic effects and routines. We’re talking about a treasure trove of timeless tricks including linking rings, sponge balls, mental bending, cups and balls, thumb tips, Zombie, color-changing knives, and a whole lot more, all packed into this nifty DVD reference set. Each volume zeroes in on a specific topic and showcases both new and rare footage from some of the top video producers in the magic realm.
The folding coin first graced the magic scene thanks to Professor Hoffmann in the late 1800s, and since then, it’s sparked countless creative interpretations of the classic Coin in Bottle trick, for which the gimmick was originally designed.
In this volume, prepare to have your mind bent by David Roth’s take on what’s become a staple in street magic—watch as a piece of the coin is visibly bitten off and then miraculously restored. But wait, there’s more! You’ll also get five different spins on the Coin in Bottle effect. First up, Johnny Thompson shows off his version, affectionately dubbed one of his "pet tricks." Next, legendary bar magician Karl Norman adds his own flair. David Roth jumps in with a bizarre twist and some essential tips on caring for your folding coins. Then, the ever-charismatic Michael Ammar reveals his reputation-making routines, including a squeaky-clean entry and an equally polished finish in his stage version. To wrap it all up, Roth treats you to two unique applications of the folding coin—one that produces coins seemingly from thin air and another for performing the classic Coins Through Table, where coins vanish right into the table’s surface (seriously, it’s as cool as it sounds).
The folding coin has stood the test of time, and for good reason. If you haven’t seen the sheer bewilderment on an audience's face as a coin appears to pass through a solid glass bottle, then you’re missing out on what Michael Ammar called "one of the five strongest effects you can do with a coin." This DVD gives you the lowdown on everything you need to make a folding coin effect a staple in your repertoire.
