ive heard it is regarded as the hardest 'sleight' in coin magic,

who all can do it?

I tried, but it hurts my old hands, and I have found no real practical use for it, except just being showy.

isnt that pretty much half the aspect of magic tricks?

Find a demo of Coins Akira. Lots of fun uses for it. Shoot Ogawa also has some great stuff.

Daniel Garcia has a pretty visual coin routine that uses it. I believe it's on Daniel Garcia Project Volume 3. I actually wish I could do it for that one routine...

I can only do it with a poker chip or that big coin I used in my video. I basically watched a tutorial for it once, then just taught myself while practicing. Took me about a week or two to get it down.

As I said in the Muscle Pass DVD thread, I really want to know what the applications for this move are. The anti-gravity thing is cool, but everytime I do it someone always says "Dude you're just popping it out of your hand".

If you're getting that reaction, then you need to work on doing it with less movement. Check out www.CoinVanish.com and find the video section. Dan Watkins must be incredibly lonely, because he's getting a silver dollar up about 3 feet or more.

and a video of the creator -

I found some videos of the effects, but they look terrible. Trust me, there are five effects on this video and all are visually stunning.

yea, i figured that would happen if i ever got it high, but i guess that is what practice is for

Exodus, thanks for the tip, I've been working on it. But please, that is NOT 3 feet in the video :wink:

Guess I have to buy it, since it contains my name.

Sorry, I forgot it was with a Poker Chip, not a silver dollar.

yea, but the silver dollar was still very high for its weight, and he does good with the no moving of the hand... it looks nice..

i have been practicing and i have a big bruise right below my thumb from where i shoot it out.. it hurts.. ha
