I believe the best magic ends up in the spectators hands. This does it and it hits hard. With a little imagination you can come up with a simpler handling that looks just as good as the advanced handling.
This is a fun little routine that will teach you a couple of basic coin sleights. There are no gimmicks involved. You're just doing a palms and switches.
The second switch is probably the move that will take the most practice, in order to get the proper timing down. It's not very difficult, but you need to be able to do it very smoothly in order for the illusion to work.
You also end reasonably clean, because when the spectator discovers that both holes are now in one washer, all the initial heat will be on the washers. This gives you plenty of misdirection to dump the one you're holding.
Besides this basic routine, there is also an extended routine that includes more transformations and introduces some more handling elements. This is also good stuff and well-taught. Once you've got the basic routine down, definitely move on to this one.

Use it all the time

This is my favorite non-coin coin effect. of the simple handling and the advanced handling I only use the advanced. The simple handling feels like it is over before it begins and with something like a moving hole, there needs to be a bit more build-up. Jay Sankey does an excellent job teaching each trick step-by-step. For beginner coin magicians the advanced handling will take a little work, but once you have it down you will have a portable routine ready to go. For strolling magicians there is the bonus of instant reset.

best sankey product ever
by Mark Tirone from New Jersey on 04/05/2010 03:33:37
This has to be one of the GREATEST sankey products ever. Not only is it practical, but it packs so flat and plays incredibly big. I performed this at school on a live show and got the best reactions and it totally made my reputation.
The gimmicks you get are not normal washers, the holes are smaller than a normal washer. But with that aside, they still hide underneith your fingers very well when you do the spellbound. THe effect is straight forward and simple. SO I highly suggest buying the DVD. It's full of great bits to use and you learn a lot of really nice stuff. Plus it's pretty cheap for what you are paying for. BUY NOW!!!!

Holy Moly!

This is my favorite pocket trick ever! Two normal washers, one in their hand, one in yours. Visually pull the hole of yours and make it travel to theirs.
The holes are real and not some fancy, expensive, moving hole gimmick, just regular washers. The best part of this routine is that it's organic, visual and surprisingly, EASY!
It's a true laymen killer (not literally). And for this price, come on! Just get it.
