Great routine. Worth the money and work. If you like card under glass this is a Coin equal

I started work on this fabulous routine today, so please to have such a well planned out idea of slights,vanishes and appearances !! The misdirection is great which all levels of magicians I'm sure can learn something from. I love Coin Across plots in fact it's one of my favorite effects which I perform everytime I have the coins with me but Salt & Pepper gives a new fresh feel to a similar concept. In my small opinion this routine is worth the money by far as I'm sure you could grab the attention of bookings from performing a fantastic routine like this which will shadow the cost of the DVD . As like most of you I have looked at hundreds of coin routines which are great but maybe something's missing or doesn't fit my style and so on but Salt & Silver will be something that I will perform for many years to come.

I do not get impressed by bad camera angles and blurry images. What I can gather, it seems like a great idea, but the promo doesn't sell me. I am interested in it because the premise seems looks it will good. |

I understand, but I would have prefered a written ad explaining all that can be done and not assume that potential buyers already know what the routine is suppose to do.

Do you do this silently to music or to no music or does it involve interaction with spectator

Blast from the past... How have you been Marty? The routine is for the most part a silent peice. But if you wanted to write a script for it, that would be very possible. I personally think the routine plays better without patter, but it is up to the performer.

Putting a trailer together for this routine was very challenging because the routine is heavily based on misdirection. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Han3TtrGxFE |

Well I am going after this big time....I think I found the right music for me... Randy Newman's .. "it's money that I want".... it's about the right length.. has an attitude to it... and if I can time it has a very quiet moment to close that would gently and ironically help me show the trick's finish... I have had this music awhile searching for the right effect.....now why am I writing this to you all? because I had some of the words blanked out in the song so as not to offend the possibly more sensitive viewers...it is the South down here after all. This could give a dramatic but subtle touch to the routine.... I think it is going to play fine.
thanks for your help Marty Hi Rob - "still here after all these years"! |

Hey Marty - you sure you're not talking about The Beatles for your song title? Randy Newman does a song about money but it's kinda folksy. The Beatles song seems a better fit to me (Money - That's What I Want).

this is a young Randy N singing the song... the version I have is an older RM singing with much more attitude... the pacing the speed the understatement of this music is so perfect for this trick and the way the song lightly lands is perfect for the dramatic irony of the big ending of this trick... the length of the song is almost perfect too. the Beatles song has promise but it is a bit loud a bit hard edged a bit strong for the gentle plot of salt and silver... and quietly in truth "it's money that I love" has me subtly cynically and really sarcastically making a statement of the value of money... It's almost an essay a statement that will probably fly over the heads of all the spectators... Ok so I am in another world... but I think all things considered this is so suitable for a multi layered effect.. will launch if probably next Saturday will let you all know how it plays... I know I am reading way too much into this music magic combination but right now I am.....having so much fun with it. Marty ( am thinking of playing "Mary had a little Lamb " for Doug Brewer's "Right Handed Coins" (how's that for a ...........................mismatch!!!!) If you guys don't know this trick you are at a loss.I know you know the song! |

Haha, thanks for the plug, Marty.
BTW, I did finally get this DVD and it's great. Very well taught and great camera angles to learn all the moves. Easily adaptable to "make it your own". Giovanni comes across more corporate now, but there are little inklings of the craziness I saw in a younger Gio years ago. Glad to see he's putting out some of his material (he was a IBM Gold Cups Winner). His shell game is killer - KILLER. Doug |

Question -- does this effect require a classic palm, or can it be done with a finger palm and/or thumb palm?
From what little I can see on the video demo, it looks like classic is needed, but I thought I would ask anyway. SETH
