Nice review, David, but the fact that the gimmick "went off" before you were ready is troubling. I was imagining actually using the coaster in a bar as I nursed my drink, and then performing a short coin routine with the coaster finale. But is the coaster going to fire off the coin when I merely set my drink down on the coaster?

@Merenkov like I said in the video it's kind of like a mouse trap ... so once the glass comes in contact ... you're in the firing zone. LOL
@SlipperySnake like the figner ring I hold up in the video (simple thin line band) is about the thickest thing the coaster can handle. But I agree that would be a cool and organic way to do it. What if the real bottle cap was in your hand, false transfer or however you do your vanish and then fire off the roller coaster with a GAFF bottle cap. And then when you go to show the bottle cap from inside the glass - switch it back out again for a real one. Like you said, maybe flatten out a real bottle cap and then trim down the lip - just so that it could pass inspection seen through the glass. Another thing that could work would be a pull tab from a can? Combine it with PULLED EXTREME from Alan Rorrison and you've got a little 2 step routine |

You'd probably be OK once your drink was half empty. You would just need to be gentle setting down your drink. Perhaps use the ungimmicked coaster at first and when your drink is halfway empty or less, make a switch at an opportune time. |

This seems suited to parlor magic - i.e. not working in a restaurant. One could have many matching coasters around and even have a spec hand you "the one" from across the table....then ending dirty would be less problematic or am I over thinking this?
I wonder if they would sell multiple of the non-gimicked ones. another thought is you could craft all the non-gimcked ones to be the same thickness as the gimicked one taking additional heat off. |

Jay Sankey has an effect on - I believe - his resturant magic dvd where he smashes a bottle cap flat. Then do the coaster effect with the flat cap. Then sign it and off you go.

I know this is an older thread.
What's the name of the app where the coin on the phone passes through the phone and appears under the glass in the trailer? Thanks. |

I think it's called Amazing Magic Coin.
