This is an old effect with a new spin! You can tell Matt has been serious with the idea for a while and he teaches the method in the dvd very well. Don't listen to the others. This is amazing in the right situation. The setup takes two seconds and I do it during conversation. There have been a few times people have given me strange looks but nobody has caught on and for the price and for the situations you can do this in the price is well worth it. Don't overlook this effect because it can make you look like a god. A lot of people know about IT and Spin doesn't use any of the sort.

this sucks and i never got it to work.

These people have totally underestimated the effect because the secret is so simple. If you do not know how this effect works, then you must buy this DVD if you are serious about PK effects, as this is absolutely fundamental. I personally couldn't believe this would work, but it does... exactly as it looks on the demo video.

You can do this anywhere, anytime with almost anything (ordinary objects). It sounds too good to be true, but all you need is 3 seconds prep-work or misdirection and you're set. No gimmicks required.

Spin is an old trick first put in Tarbell. This new method allows you to do the same effect with no setup, gimmicks, or special props at a moments notice! Totally a mind blower. This trick freaks people out beyond comprenhension!

Myself I can't get it to spin, I will work on it, but I did get it to move once, Matt is a really nice guy, and even sent me tips, I give it a 3 because I can't get it to spin, but I think if conditions are right, you can. Keep in mind you can do this in most places, just not some, so I recommend this.

this is good

a good trick with a good concept but worth the money. heak no!!!!!!! i would pay 10 maybe even 15 but 25 is insane.

VERY GREAT ILLUSION
DONE WITHOUT GIMMICKS MATT IS A VERY GOOD TEACHER.
THIS IS IMPROMT MAGIC CAN BE DONE ANYTIME.
WHEN PREFORMED RIGHT IT WILL BLOW YOUR AUDIENCE
AWAY.

I could go on and on about this DVD. The presentation, Matt's approach to teaching, and the overall impact of the effect is all phenomenal.

To me, the method is every bit as exciting in it's implications as the effect itself.

If PK ANYTHING intrigues you, then experience the effect of the real deal with Spin. If you've ever wanted to move objects without any gimmicks whatsoever, using your intention, creativity, and Energy - then this is a no brainer.

I amaze myself for hours a day with this. It never gets old to me - and the creative options are unlimited once you really get comfortable with it.

Highest recommendation.

In my opinion, if magicians could realy do magic they wouldn't need props. So, I prefer to perform without any props, and SPIN is a powerful effect in my line up.

You can use all borrowed objects, and the method is SO EASY to do. This allows you to focus soley on the presentation.

I think it is a mistake to perform SPIN as a simple trick. It shouldn't be presented as a puzzle for the audience to figure out how it is done.

I use it to create a moment for the spectators that they will long remember. While completely surrounded, with eyes burning my hands, without ever touching the pen, it begins to spin. It's not spinning on its own. I'M MAKING IT SPIN WITH PURE THOUGHT ENERGY. At least that is how it is presented, and the reactions prove that many believe it to be true, or at least they strongly want to believe it is true.

I have followed this effect with the exploding light bulb, and after that they are convinced that I am capable of generating incredible amounts of thought energy.

There are so many potential scenarios with this effect, and I have created many on my own. The success or failure of this effect depends largely upon the magician's ability to give a convincing performance, as is the case with most magic effects.

By-the-way, I shave my head smooth daily, and I am able to accomplish this effect with no problems. Some people just give up too easily, and they miss out on some great effects. Just as well. That leaves the great effects for the rest of us who aren't afraid to put in long hours of practice, or who are willing to create some effective stories for each mystery, and then present it in such a way as to make the performance unforgettable in the spectator's minds.
