Magic Tricks

Though I appreciate Daniel’s thinking that went into this, the production was not good. I could hear someone using the microwave in the kitchen while he was trying to teach the effect, etc. Lots of distracting background noises..he was not mic’d etc. If I was filming myself at home, I would have stopped and re-filmed or edited it out when I can clearly hear someone I live with making loud noises during the filming of my major release download. Small parts where he reaches to turn the camera off between takes - could have easily been edited out.

I understand wanting to produce it yourself to make more of a royalty %, but the risk of doing this is steep when you don’t produce it well for yourself and you use your phone to film it or whatever. When it’s a download - the production is everything.

Again, I appreciate the thinking, but I will still use Sinful over any other coin in can I know. Gimmicked & ungimmicked, I’ve owned all the coin in cans on the market, and Sinful simply cannot be beat in my opinion. I’ve been performing that piece since I was 15…I’m 37 at the end of this month.

That being said, this effect is a great follow up convincer to Sinful once the can has been emptied, but it does have its own legs. The fact that the penetration can happen in their hands and they can hold the empty can prior to the moment of magic, is very strong.

Johannes Mengel’s Breakthrough is also a cool, similar approach that can be structured in with this. Can-tastic is another one that’s very nice, though it uses a deceptive gimmick to achieve the effect. We’re all just trying to do our best but for me, the production value just wasn’t there.
