Well, I'll be honest. I hate writing reviews. But sometimes I like something so much, I feel obligated. Especially in this case.
I'm talking about Mirage Et Trois by Eric Jones. This isn't going to be a long, detailed review either, but most of you that know me know if I write a review about something, then I must really like that product. Or that it sucks.
What's the effect?
-----------------------------
Imagine three coins being produced before your very eyes one at a time from thin air, traversing from hand to hand at the fingertips and then vanishing as quickly as they came. This has to be seen to be believed. This is Mirage et Trois.
Eric Jones presents to you three separate, complete coin effects that flow seamlessly into one cohesive routine:
Out With Three: A comical three coin production that will have your audience scratching their heads with disbelief.
S.V.C.A. (Spectator's Visible Coins Across): One of Eric's signature effects. Three coins fly from hand to hand in the most visual way possible. This is what real magic should look like.
KKK (Three Klan Vanish): A three coin vanish that solves many problems for the serious coin worker.
-----------------------------
That's as black and white as can be...this is a true worker. No gaffs, no sleeving, nothing. A direct and simple routine that is as entertaining and magical as it is practical.
I performed this Wednesday night at my restaurant as an opener and it played very well. The reactions I got from this weren't 'screaming and cursing' per say, but more along the lines of baffled and amazed. This is a trick that makes the audience think and question themselves. And that's the kind of magic I like.
Angles? Pretty good. They're fine for most restaurant and strolling work.
Difficulty? I had this down with a good week of practice. It's within reach of most magicians.
Practical? Definitely.
So, there you have it. A quick and short review from a working performer. There aren't a lot of tricks I perform without tweaking, but this one is pretty good from the jump.
Best.
