Coin magic that is this visual will cause mass HYSTERIA with your audiences.

Think about it, four coins are placed on the table in a small square, you wave your hand over the coins and they magically assemble in one corner.

This is a secret that Chad has kept to himself since 1994 and now it is available to you. Get ready to witness HYSTERIA.

(This review is for Hysteria by Chad Long)
This is a super easy one handed matrix that is a lot of fun to do. If you have 4 matching coins and a certain gimmick, you are all set for this. If you do other bare hand matrix effects like shadow coins or some of Dean Dill's effects, then you do have the gimmick. Chad also teaches a beautiful coin production as a bonus effect that is a perfect lead in to this. I bought the "download only" option and am very pleased with this purchase.

I seem to have made a mistake ordering Hysteria. The coins and gimmick were less than acceptable in quality and co-ordination to dates and shell. Save your money for someone else like Dean Dills Coin Explosion maybe !

This is the first time Penguin Has been less than professional in their products.

The matrix you've been looking for!!! Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on October 11th, 2018
I've been on a hunt for a good looking matrix that doesn't involve unnecessary moves or other objects to cover what is going on. This routine accomplishes both of those requirements!

The movements of the hand look completely natural and there is no need for cards or other objects to cover the magic. I couldn't be happier :) I may have not have liked his cookies but I love this and I will be using it!

Awesome work! Buy now if it's not sold out already.

Wow! This is a genius routine Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on October 16th, 2018
(This review is for Hysteria by Chad Long)
This can be added to pretty much any table routine with 4 coins and is a great kicker because you use only one hand and its so magical!

I purchased the download because I already own a deans set which is perfect for this routine... I recorded myself doing it within an hour of watching the video and its like special effects! One person I showed it too said "It dont even look like you touched anything!".

Great reactions already... this is definitely going into my lineup of coin magic and then there is a bonus trick on producing 4 coins! I will likely be using the bonus effect too! Its a perfect way to bring in 4 coins magically.

Needless to say... if you love coin work... get this. I thought it was going to be super difficult... but its not at all! It just looks impossible!

Just OK Report this review

(This review is for Hysteria by Chad Long)
I love matrix type of effects....which prompted me to purchase this rendition. Mark Mason once showed me a similar assembly type effect that did not require a gimmick and so I was very interested. With all due respect to Chad, who performed and taught this so well, I think that a statement such as Gimmick necessary, or you will need to have an additional item to perform this.... which may say more about how this was marketed than the effect itself. All of that being being said, as I worked through the routine, for me the visual display seemed wonky, not real clear....almost like I made a mistake and knocked a coin out of the way....so for me I appreciate the skill and the concept, but as an assembly effect, not my favorite.

Excellent. Just buy it. Report this review

This is an excellent one handed coin matrix. Chad Long's instruction is clear and concise. If you have some coin routines, or even some of Roth's material, this is still a great value. I first saw Chad lecture and perform at the April 2018 Penguin MAXX SOUTH 2018 event in Atlanta, GA. His material is totally useful and worth not only having, but, using. If you have a chance to attend one of his lectures, do it! 100% recommended.

Eye-popping follow-up to Shadow Coins Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on October 15th, 2018
(This review is for Hysteria by Chad Long)
Chad Long sometimes takes traditional effects and streamlines them. (His out-with-four Okito Box routine, for instance, is the best ever created.)

Hysteria takes Shadow Coins and eliminates one hand (!) for an impossible looking quick trick. It would make a perfect follow-up to Shadow Coins itself.

Chad Long's bonus production of four coins, which appear singly from under a coin purse, looks even more magical. It's a novel way to introduce the props for any number of coin routines (including Roth's Shell Coins Across).

Chad Long should have more recognition among magicians; he's consistently smart and creative, and his chops are tops.

You kept your promise Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on December 10th, 2018
Chad said it was really easy to do. He kept his promise. It really is easy to do, and looks great too. I was amazed at how easy it is to perform. It makes me look like a great coin guy even though I don’t have “slightest” idea how to perform fancy coin tricks. Thanks, for sharing your well kept secret.

Good trick, but needs technical support Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on November 6th, 2018
(This review is for Hysteria by Chad Long)
I'm a fan of Chad Long's work, and, generally, his delivery in teaching videos. To echo the complaints of a couple of commenters who noted the difficulty of moving one of the coins necessary in the effect--yes, it's difficult. Chad should have spent some valuable time going over surfaces, and offered advice on making the particular vital coin slide easier. The video is a bit dark in lighting and prop choice, and that doesn't help.

I got the quarters version, simply because this can be a (mostly) borrowed coin effect. I also tried it with half dollars for which I already owned the gimmick. Both coin types were difficult on four different types of pads I own. So I did what I always do when faced with a technical problem--look for substitutions or fixes. I worked on the gimmick, and, when that seemed to do no good, I went to surfaces.

The best, so far, is tabloid-size newsprint; it offers a bit of surface tension but all coins slide very well. I tried magazines, also--too slick.

Do these offer the visual contrast of a black pad to the coins? No, but if you can't think of a good procedural reason for using an impromptu pad for an impromptu trick, then stay away from impromptu magic... Coffee shops always have newspapers around, and sometimes bars do, too. Could this trick be done on a hard surface? Yes, and it would be worth practicing on a tabletop. A noisy bar (are there quiet ones, anymore, without a dozen TVs blaring?) would hide the sound of sliding coins.

I vote YES for getting this effect. The four-star rating has to do only with what Chad Long didn't cover in the video.

A Marvelous Matrix! Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on October 18th, 2018
(This review is for Hysteria by Chad Long)
WOW! After watching the demo I was pretty sure I had the necessary prop to perform this beautiful routine. And considering the ease at which this can be done I am super impressed with Chad's well thought out version of a coin matrix. This really is pretty easy to do so even a novice will be able to accomplish this nice, flowing matrix. Seriously, this is one of the best down-loads I've purchased. Thank you to Chad Long for releasing this little gem. Time to grab some halves and get busy!
