SYN is a coin bend. But it's more than that too. It's a DUAL coin bend, and it's not just the moves, or a tool, it's a fully fleshed routine, a performance piece. Heres what it looks like;
The magician borrows or introduces two coins. He then has the spectator choose one for herself which she clenches in her mortal little fist. The magician waves his coin above her hand where it VISUALLY bends. She informs the waiting crowd that she felt her coin bending in her hand too. WOW! She opens it up and both coins have indeed flexed. This effect is a very powerful one. Dee has came up with some wonderful subtleties to ensure that the bends are effective, and his ploy to ensure the spectator ALWAYS feels something is exceptional. It reminds me of Luke Jermay's thinking. The visual bend, while very well suited to the routine, is nothing groundbreaking, but when combined with the other elements of this piece, is pure eye candy. The effect works on both a cerebral AND visual level, a feat that not many effects currently on the market can claim to have achieved, and that is what I believe will stand out about it. Dee includes some very nicely composed essays at the back of the manuscript, and they were a fine read. I recommend this effect if you have a stand up/parlour type of set and you dabble in Mentalism/Paranormalist material. It's available from http://www.mindlapse.net CL

I don't see it.
I am getting so tired of slitting the throats of people who say that I am a violent psychopath.

LOL. Dee also graciously sent this wonderful little piece to me, and I must say I think it's very clever. My favourite Dee effect has always been Loki, a Visa Cabaret-esque effect with a method so deviously simple you'll kick yourself. Syn has that same kind of minimalist approach, a simplistic method used to powerful effect. This is definitely going to be one of my most performed coin bends.

YO.
Slyhand, the product is not on the site yet, just a banner on the homepage as it's not yet released! It'll be out this sunday at mindlapse.net and devilsadvocateproductions.com I've copied in the blubber: Since Uri Geller began bending spoons back in the 70's, this metal bending skill has fascinated all magicians and mentalists as well as captivating any audiences that bear witness to it. Two coins are picked from a handful of change and held at finger tips, the spectator selects one and holds that in their hand, the performer begins to concentrate and gently wave the coin he is left with. It begins to bend. While the coin in plain sight is bending, the participant claims to feel the coin in their hand bending in synchronicity. The hand is opened to reveal the newly bent coin as the performer's coin is dropped to meet it. Simple, direct and ultra-high impact, SYN teaches you a new way to utilize a classic optical technique, a new dual-coin plot for metal bending demonstrations and all the psychology, scripting, tips and tricks that will turn this single routine into a reputation maker for you. Dee Christopher outlines everything you need to know to start performing this TODAY and teaches you how to get stronger reactions than you ever have before with a bonus chapter on increasing the power of your performances. Hope that clears up what the effect is! And don't worry, it's very direct in effect and extremely simple the execute. Best, D.

Thanks Dee,
Will there be a demo? BTW, a couple of Tylenol should clear up your avatars headache.

I'm wondering if the coin can be signed?? I don't mind a non-signed bent coin but doing a double bend isn't too new for me because I've done it in the past too. I would like to hear about reviews before buying this.
