"Ben is one of the only guys I know who can satisfy a magic-hungry crowd with one coin." - Acar Altinsel, Penguin Magic
The Effect
Ben Seidman (iVanish) is a professional coin guy. Yeah, he does other stuff like full stage shows and consult for TV magicians (Mind Freak), but if you've ever seen the man with a coin and an audience, you know what he's capable of.
This one coin routine is THE introduction you want if you're opening a set. No talking necessary, so it's perfect for loud environments and casual alike. It's completely silent, so there's no need to worry about clinking or clanking. You could perform it in a library.
And not only is this an eye-popping routine, but it opens the door for any kind of coin routine you'd like to follow up with.
If you want to establish yourself as a PRO in SECONDS, this is what you've been waiting for.
What You Get A step-by-step detailed instructional teaching video with Ben Seidman showing you all of the moves and insight you need to perform "Here" like a PRO.
FREE BONUS: When you purchase this product from Penguin you'll

very helpful in mastering your new magic. Please visit the Penguins

I learned the handling of this trick a while ago and it is actually pretty good. Seidman has put some nice touches into to make it even better. The downside to this one is that it will take a fair amount of practice to get it right, and it is sort of angle sensitive. Putting these things aside, this is a great trick to add to your coin routine.

Learn so much in so little time

This is such a great effect it will take time to master but it is the best coin sleight I have seen. Ben is so smooth with his instructions and details the methods very smoothly. I'm not into coins but I will get this effect down. It is great..
If you like coins this is sure fire effect to amaze people.
It can't be done surrounded but it will be a worker for sure...

I downloaded this production to be used in a close-up competition I was performing in a few weeks later. I needed a magician fooler, and it couldn't be too difficult. I found the perfect item!
Ben Seidman is an excellent teacher. I own iVanish and Catch, and both are expertly taught as well. You shouldn't have any problems learning this. Plus, this is filmed with a great camera and everything is super easy to see.
The production itself is very good looking. The reason that it lost 1 star is because you need to have the coin in an awkward grip at the start of the routine. However, once you got this down you should be able to learn the routine and make it look fantastic relatively quickly.
You should have basic knowledge of coin magic before you attempt to learn this.

I liked it.

Great little coin routine that you can practice anywhere. I practiced every day on the bus for weeks.
The handlings are great and the vanishes and productions are invaluable tools for all future coin tricks. I highly recomment this for the beginner coin magician.

I think this is effect is great. The sleights taught are useful for other effects as well. The only reason it gets 4 stars is because it costs $10. I might seem a little cheap, but when you can get a DVD like "Sick" for $40 with multiple great effects, this seems a little pricey. Overall, it's worth the $10.
