This effect looks too good to be true, especially as its completely impromptu. This is the link to the blurb and demo video.

That is a nice effect, the first demo looks a bit more imressive than the second. I can see this being an eye popper with the right performance.

Hello friends,

First of all thank you very much for your kind words.

Yes Pegasus . . . I know it seems that way, but it is really true. When you see the method you'll see that it's really easy.

STUCK! is one of many coin tricks that I'm going to be releasing over the next year. I know that the first time some of you saw my work it was with COSMOS. Well . . . I'm actually not that much of a card guy. As many of my Magic Café friends know; my REAL passion is in coin magic.

STUCK! is one of these tricks that you'll ALWAYS have with you (as long you can find any quarter) that is guaranteed to STUNN your audience.

In the training video I've included 5 variations of STUCK! so that you can adapt it to your performance style.

In your CLAW
Instant APPEAR (demo video version 1)
Instant APPEAR 2
Pull it OUT! (my favorite version)
Pull it OUT! 2 (demo video version 2)

In the demo video you only see 2 versions. I've actually left my favorite variation (which is also the strongest variation) on the explanation video.

STUCK! was supposed to be released 9 months ago. But since I just got married, my priorities really changed.

I’m really looking forward to your comments about STUCK!

Take care,
Greg Rostami

P.S. You can also see the demo of STUCK! on YouTube

It would be really nice if you could post your reviews and ratings for my YouTube link.

This looks amazing. Has anyone bought this yet? I would love to hear some reviews. For only $10.00 and totally impromptu this seems to good to be true.

Can this be done with a half dollar as well?

I can do it with a half dollar, but it is harder then a quarter. My favorite coins for STUCK! are a quarter and a 2 Euro coin.

When you see the explanation video, you'll understand some of the other details about other coins.

Thanks Chris,

STUCK! was designed to look like an impossible coin trick . . . Without using any Gaffs.

In fact that is my NUMBER ONE priority when I design magic . . . I will go out of my way to make sure it can be done without props or gimmicks.

When you learn the method of STUCK! it will open your eyes to a whole new world of possibilities.

Only the BEST for you guys,
Greg Rostami

Before buying anything from Greg, I would look at this post.

http://www.themagiccafe.com/forums/viewtopic.php?topic=132053&forum=111

After reading this, you will be able to choose to support this guy or not.
Many peoples got problem with their previous order without answer of Greg. I guess he hope we have forget what he have done.....

Devilix, that seems to be a completely different situation. Stuck is available right now for instant download. I didn't purcahse Cosmos so I'm not sure what happened with that. But this seems to be up and running.

Maybe your are right Cameron,

My goal was only to tell people that many magicians had problem with orders from this guy.

Maybe the dwl is up and running. However, I choose to give my money to someone that I can be sure to trust. If he did have problem one year ago, I don't see why I should trust him. Only my choice....

Yes Cameron,

STUCK! IS up and running. I learned my lessons from my first trick (COSMOS):

Unlike COSMOS, STUCK! works on both PCs and Macs
The price of STUCK!($10) is HALF the price of COSMOS($20)
The website has been designed to be SUPER easy to use.
PayPal has solved all of my previous e-commerce problems.

The only way you can have a problem with purchasing STUCK! is if you lose your connection during the download. In that case you can just email me and I will send you a new link to the explanation video.

take care,
Greg Rostami

Wow I don't do coin work but this just seems so amazing.
I read the link with regards to issues in the past seems to be going on a lot these days.
For Stuck I hope this is not a "Dream."

I look forward to reviews.

Seems like a nice use of the Harada hold, or ideas borrowed from the Harada Hold DVD.

STUCK! was not inspired by the Harada hold.

I showed STUCK! to magicians like Dean Dill, Bob Kohler, Dan Watkins, and Peter Eggink over 2 years ago.

Hi rjenkins,

The Angles for STUCK! are:

Left to Right and Up to Down = 160 Degrees

Basically you wouldn't want to perform it surrounded. But, with a little audience management, I have performed it almost surrounded. If you decide to purchase the trick, I can help you with that.

Cheers to my UK brother,

I bought it, instant download, I didn´t have any problem. The effect is really cool, the vanish is very well thought and greg really covers every aspect. It is a 40 minutes video. That is a lot for one trick, so he explains many variations and how to handle each one. You will not be dissapointed. This is the first time I buy something from Greg and I am pleased.

Best,
Pablo

I think the effect looks very good indeed and am thinking of buying it. However to me it is clear what 'happens' to the coin........If I am correct I guess there would be angle problems, I perform with specs all around so my question would be Can this be performed surrounded??

The second question is how long would this take to pick up for a non coin working guy?

Great promo though.

If it is clear to you what happens to the coin, then why do you need to ask if it can be done surrounded???

Come on guys, it is clear what is going on, especially when you consider:
1: works better with light coins
2: the name of the item is "STUCK"

If you like it and want to use it, then buy it! If not then leave it alone and stop trying to fish out conditions or secrets.
