Masterminds Volume One by Criss Angel (Quarter Through Soda Can) (DVD) - The explanation of the mind-blowing quarter through soda can as created by Wayne Houchin and performed by Criss Angel on his critically acclaimed A&E television series MINDFREAK.
"One of the greatest no-preparation miracles EVER. You do it anytime, anywhere, with any can and any coin and it's guaranteed to kill." -- Richard Kaufman
"This is a great trick. You are crazy for releasing it!" -- Lance Burton
"The impromptu nature and startling power of this effect is a rarity in the magic world. Buy the DVD - you will not be disappointed!" -- Banachek
"In all my years I wish magic would be more like this � practical and incredibly effective. This is a gem and worth 10 times the price of the DVD." -- Johnny Thompson
The Effect Considered to be one of the most influential names in magic today, Criss Angel built his career by having a visionary approach and groundbreaking material.
Now for the first time ever, it�s available to you, in his exclusive Criss Angel Mastermind DVD series (volume one).
This effect can be performed Anywhere, Anytime with No special props. That's Right � No Props, No Gimmicks, No Switches and No Set Ups of any kind are required! Borrow a spectator�s signed coin... ask for a can of soda or beer (works with many brands)... then watch their face as their signed coin miraculously penetrates their sealed can, which immediately is heard and seen inside the can. As a matter of fact, the spectator, not the magician, can be the first person to try to remove the coin from the open can when they get home! It�s Completely Clean!
Delve inside Criss Angel Masterminds as Criss and Wayne demonstrate the play-by-play breakdown for you to perform the Quarter Through Soda Can.
Plus bonus material, including an exclusive interview with Criss sharing his inner thoughts on magic, his career and TV series hosted by his close friend/manager/magician Dave Baram. Get your MINDFREAK on!

Give this the proper practice and you'll blow people away. I started doing this as soon as I got it I was so excited so I got caught because I thought it's so easy you can't get caught but you can if you don't pay attention to the subtleties. Some sleight of hand is required but not hard to master so work on performance and deliver greatly.

Awesome! This is my personal favorite Criss Angel product on the market! Though it isn't Criss's original effect it is truly amazing, and a thumbs up from me because it uses no gaffs!!! Probably my favorite soda can effect also! Only downside is it is a little more difficult with New Zealand cans... but a little more practice and its fine!

This is a miracle worker right here. You can do this in a bar, street, strolling, restaurant. And it's visual and quick. I know this has been exposed to many but don't be afraid to perform this. People won't care about what they learned from people on youtube if you perform it right.
Criss sits down with Wayne and Wayne gives you all the pointers to the effect. Easy but don't perform this until you know your steps well or it will look fishy.
Get it even if you know it :D The tips help a lot to make you stand out from the bunch that cannot perform it correctly. It's a well produced DVD and well worth the money

Excellent effect.

This is one of the best impromptu effects you can possibly do, I mean it's pretty close to perfect! I do this trick at parties, in the street, in restaurants...pretty much anywhere really because all you need is a coin and a can!
The guys teach the effect very well and they go over the nuances in a lot of detail which is great. I would certainly recommend you check this out!

My favorite trick of all time!

Master this one, and you'll be the life of the party - guaranteed!
Works with soda and beer cans and takes some serious practice. I wouldn't recommend performing this without AT LEAST practicing the moves for a couple hours and completely performing it start to finish by yourself 3-5 times before you show anybody. But once you get it, muscle memory takes over and it's seamless!
The best part of this is that you can do it completely impromptu, as there is no setup. The trick relies on your ability to perform, so in the name of Magic, if you get this trick, spend the time to perform it well!
and share your thoughts with other magicians!
