"The Mark is a fooler and a true worker. Paul has added such a beautiful streamlined handling to whole thing that he tempted me to add it to my formal close-up set. The Mark is a commercial killer that always gets gasps!"- Bill Abbott

"I have been performing The Mark for 30 plus years - it's a perfect walk around trick as it appears to be completely impromptu. I'm not sure if I want to thank Paul Richards for making this effect available to magicians once again - or if I should hate him for it! Either way - it's that good!"- Mike Gallo

"The Mark is one of the most commercial coin routines I have ever seen. Coin to impossible location doesn't get better than this!"- Cameron Francis

A Complete Sellout at Blackpool...

Paul Richards and Elmwood Magic are proud to bring you John Murray's classic effect, The Mark! A powerful routine that will be etched in the memory of your audience for years to come.

A signed coin vanishes only to reappear moments later sealed in a metal key chain! The spectator can even be holding the key chain before the coin vanishes! A stunning effect that never fails to leave the audience breathless!

Comes complete with:

  • Custom Machined Coin Set
  • Custom Key Chain
  • Satin Gift Bag
  • Detailed instructional DVD with additional ideas and insights
This astonishing effect is easy to do and there is nothing to replace. An absolute wonder guaranteed to amaze any audience!

"This wonderful effect was first produced and popularized by the legendary Al Cohen. It has been a long time favorite of mine. I have used it in my personal repertoire for many years and I can attest to the impact it has on every audience. I was so pleased to finally obtain the rights to this amazing effect and I'm absolutely thrilled to be able to offer it with my personal handling. I assure you that this is one effect you will use all the time!"- Paul Richards

Great effect and gimmicks. Everything works as it is supposed to. Easy to perform. I encourage you to come up with your own presentation. I created a presentation around this effect that makes it a lot more personal to the spectators and elevates it to another level.
One thing that is not mentioned in the DVD but I found out while practising: If you keep the key chain in your pocket make sure you can get to it easily. If you fiddle too much in your pocket and confuse the orientation of the gimmick, it won't look good at all when it comes out. Make sure you always know which way you are holding it when you are in your pocket.
This effect should not be overlooked by any serious performer.

Great trick, very nice gimmick Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on May 3rd, 2014
Was disappointed at first but I'm real happy about my purchase after watching the video. For those outside the US, I do think it's fair to say that this trick only works for American currency. I'm from Canada and I was hoping I could use coins from here but even with the restriction, this trick is still great to carry around (everything you need is provided for you in the box). It doubles as a nice keychain so it's something I would carry around with me on a daily basis anyway.
The keychain itself does seem kind of weak so I'm not sure how long it will last. If your careful with it, it should last a lifetime (at least I hope so:P)

If you're not from America.... Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on May 2nd, 2014
So I'm from Canada, and I bought this trick hoping that I could use Canadian coins for it. I included it in my choose 5 thinking that if it was a bad trick, I would at least have a keychain. When I opened it up, I was very disappointed at first. The coins and gimmicks are made for ONLY American currency.I was about to drawer the trick b4 watching the video, but after watching it, I realized it's a fantastic effect regardless. If I do perform this trick to Canadians, the overall effect is still unreal and I don't think it matters that I'm using an American coin. The audience will wonder why I'm using American coins and will want to inspect the coins after but the gimmicks are well made enough that you can literally hand it out for examination. I think this is a nice thing to have in your pocket and decent deal if included in the choose 5 pack but I would not pay the normal price for this trick. Part of the gimmick does seem a bit flimsy but I don't expect it to break unless I'm really tough on it.

Great effect, expert craftsmanship Report this review
Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on January 12th, 2013
Not only is this a great effect, but it's a heck of a deal considering the quality of what you receive. The method is actually more complicated and advanced then I'd at first supposed. It requires expert craftsmanship to make it convincing and examinable, but that's exactly what I received at what I consider to be a bargain price. Paul Richards' instructional DVD is concise yet thorough, and is packed with great tips, including a bonus mentalism effect. I can't see using this in walk-around, because the reset requires privacy, but for a one-off effect it's hard to beat. The only thing I'm wondering about is the durability of the keychain fob, but time will tell. So far, so good.

A Trick or a Miracle? Report this review
Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on June 18th, 2018
I worked in John Murray's magic shop and got to see this effect go from an idea to being a great effect. Some people say this is easy to do, and it is, but you should really spend some extra time working not only on the mechanics, but more importantly the presentation. With proper presentation you can elevate this effect into the minor miracle category. John is no longer with us, but his legacy lives on with The Mark. John was a great magician, an interesting character, and someone who truly loved and respected the art of magic. Show John and his pet effect the love and respect they both deserve and develop a powerful presentation around this effect. It is so worth the time and effort it will take.

Key Coin surprise Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on December 27th, 2013
Easy to do and a real stunner! I use the flash paper for the coin ditch, which makes the trick even more dramatic.

good idea, week gimmick Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on January 18th, 2014
As another rewiew suggest, the problem this this gimmick is that it seems to be about break in no time. Although the trick itself is really good, I did not even tried yet as I,m scared of the mark breaking. I think it would be possible the same structure with some stronger gimmick
