RANT TIME
The problem with
so-called "
coin magic" these days, is that the younger generation of magicians (no offense, I understand that it's a generalisation) treats vanishing a single coin as a
stand-alone effect. (ie, revolution, breakaway vanish, GONE vanish, etc.)
Here's the thing.
I can get the same reaction from a retention vanish (and I don't even have to follow it up with Wiped Clean- although I do). So really, I'm getting a BETTER reaction.
Vanishing ONE coin is like doing the pass with cards. Without an effect to frame it- it's not entertaining, and barely amazing.
I don't think it's enough. Unless your magic show is 45 seconds long.
Learn some
routines- not just vanishes.
