Torn and Restored Coin - Super Magic - Trick 7

So I finally got enough time to sit down and film this. Personally I think I have held off shooting this because I am not completely thrilled by it. I think the idea is great, this is a very interesting take on the torn and restored plot. But…and it is a big but, I think the handling on this is a little rough. I think when done in person this will probably look good, on camera….you be the judge. As stated above, I think the idea is great I think the mechanics supplied in the book leave a little to be desired.

Pros:
Unique idea that would be a nice departure from a card trick in a close up magic set
If you put the time in and clean up some of the handling you would probably be the only person doing this effect
Cons:
Mechanics in the book are a little rough and need to be worked out
Non-ordinary “pieces-of-eight” needed

P.S. – A big thank you to Diamonds magic for making this trick possible. Check out Diamond’s Magic for any magical needs – www.diamondsmagic.com

What's Going On...

Hello everyone out there in CyberWorld, I am back... I hope for good this time. I don't know how many people actually read this thing but if you do I appreciate it. I am still working through Super Magic and I have most of the book down. I am just now working on filming all of the effects. So what happened....where did I go.....
As always life seems to get in the way so quickly. I have had one of the best summers of my life. I actually was a semi-professional magician this summer. Never thought I would ever say, or type those words anywhere, but I can! This summer a fellow magician and myself got a gig doing eight shows on the shores of Misquamicut Beach. The experience was incrediable and I even got to start the last show with one of my favorite pieces of close-up. The even better news is that we got asked back for next year, and this time for a 10 week run!
So now what is going on, this blog has been in the back of my mind the entire time and I am ready to finish it off. I am looking forward to filming all of the effects and hopefully hearing some comments on them. If you like what I am doing, or what I put up let me know.
Now, I just need to find my video camera...
