Hello all.
As a child in the old Hornmann/Flosso magic shop in Manny-Hanny NYC - I watched as
Al Flosso (The Coney Island Fakir himself) performed his Misers Dream. I was 9 years old. I was
floored before I knew what this term meant to the magic community. IT was MAGIC! I learned my basics
of coin work there. Bobo, Dingle...and so many more added fleshing out(s).
Dan Harlan (of
course)- does his 'Dream' his own way...but really, fairly close to Tarbell's outline. Its damn
good. It is a 'Harlan' performance - and very well constructed.
The whole download was paid
for - in full - by just this opener. (And the rest is even better).
I have performed coin
work from Seattle to Moscow. And there are many who work coins more impressively than I...just as I
work cards but never was really good at knuckle buster moves...but I honestly can pass and never
been questioned (favorite pass is the Turnover - btw). Still and all, they were enjoyed performances
by all involved.
OK - enough of stating my personal experience and timeline.
THIS is a
really good investigation of Tarbell 23. If you do coin work..I doubt you will not enjoy the
purchase. Hells Bells...its less expensive than a good coin pull.
Watch it..practice...and you
will ALWAYS have a good set of effects in your pocket.
I do believe I have Al Flosso's Tarbell set. It was given to me by Bud Adams, owner of SS Adams. GREAT GUY - True Dorian Gray story. I was a kid growing up in Neptune, NJ - home to SS Adams. Bud Adams and I became friends (I was about 11). I used to stare at the magic tricks in the factory showroom. Rode my bike there. GREAT MEMORIES. Anyway - He gave me the set. He was a man that was never given his Due in the industry. Top Hat's off to Bud Adams!!
