A good friend of mine has recently been releasing effects and sent me a copy to look over.
EFFECT:: The performer points to a pin clearly attached to his/her shirt. It can even be tugged on to make sure it is attached. Without moves or cover of any kind, the pin is visually dragged to any place on the performer's shirt where it is fairly unhooked and examined.
QUALITY/TEACHING:: Pinned is explained in a PDF. The format of the Ebook was very organized and easy to follow. Had no problems here.
METHOD:: Upon learning the method, I was only slightly disappointed. Do not expect a mind blowing, complex technique. However, this is an advantage. The beauty of Pinned is in it's simplicity and practicality making it extremely easy to master and perform.
NEEDED ITEMS:: Besides a pin, there is only one thing required to perform this effect. Some may have the item already, as it is sometimes used in other magic effects. If not, the needed item is very easy to get a hold of.
SET-UP:: Not long at all. If you have the needed items, it will probably take you literally 2 seconds to set this up. You can even set this up in front of a spectator in the simple act of putting the pin on your shirt.
CLEAN-UP:: Clean up for Pinned is built right into the routine. It is completely justified and not suspicious at all.
RESET:: Reset is nothing difficult either. You can attach pin back on your shirt and be ready to go anytime after, even with spectators watching.
PRACTICALITY:: This is where Pinned shines. The amount of work you have do to set this up is next to nothing. The thing I love about this effect is that you can wear any pin you desire throughout the day and not be obligated to perform. I found Pinned works best when someone notices the pin by themselves. This gives you a perfect opportunity to go into the effect.
ANGLES:: Another great thing about Pinned is that it can be viewed from all angles. There are no restrictions as to where your spectators have to be or anything of the sort. Obviously, you want people to be facing you so they can see the pin.
OVERALL:: While this is not an effect I perform everyday, it is definitely something I perform when the situation presents itself. It is the perfect effect for seemingly "on the spot" magic. It is something I've used with success and have gotten great audience response from. You will be pleasantly surprised with it's practicality and simplicity. It is lots of fun to perform.
You are not limited to the given routine. There are many different ways you can use this effect. As cheesy as it sounds, you are only limited by your imagination.
I definitely recommend looking into this!
Pinned is currently only available through V. himself. If you would like to be considered to receive a copy, please message him.
