Oh OK, I must've missed that. That's a pretty cool name as well.
And yeah, I've been fiddling with it all day and a variety of ways to present it, but it plays best simply put, where it can't be lost in longer presentation or quickly forgotten because it was way up front. I've been using a few of my moves to clearly show one coin and I'm really diggin' this with using my Quick Pitch to help set up the action. Once it's solid in the spec's mind, I spin the coin and briefly let it soak in. Then I hit them with your Splinter and they can't believe it. 
Believe me, I could easily go into all sorts of stuff from there with 2 coins but the look on their faces said I had done enough. It really is quite amazing and fun to do. I did it at least 10 times today for people that just couldn't believe what they saw. It's a lot of fun and so easy to do for such a good moment of magic to leave in folk's hearts & minds..
A real goody for the holidays for sure. Thanks much and "Splinter" it is. So let it be written, so let it be done.

I'm happy to report that "Splinter" is currently (as of the time I am writing this post) sitting in #1 on Penguin's Top 10 Download list. I'm very thankful.

Funny, I just did this today for some people in the Diner here. I do a bit more with it upfront as I've shown Mike, to better sell the absolute notion of just one coin, right before the split, and then going right into my Ike & Mike's Revenge effect.
The folks in the Diner were completely amazed.
This is a nice little effect that works well as a quicky-tricky or as a nice opening to a larger effect, as I like to use it. Either which way, as a nice open or addition, I highly recommend it.
Nice job Mike, good luck with it.

Awesome! I'm glad you guys liked it. My friend Mike Kaminskas messaged me the other day and told me he had a KILLER application for it. I'm going to see if he wants to tip it to anyone but if not, ask him to show it to you if you guys ever see him ; )

If your looking for a way to do this without a table check out Jay Sankey's drop out move.
Do a flying shuttle pass to show "one" coin and then do the drop out move to split it into two. The spin on table is a nice idea. |

Funny, I just bought it too, I am still on the edge with Whether to buy bottom shot or not? Looks like a lot of practice time involved.

In case you're still on the fence about the Bottom Shot, here is a couple quotes I have read about it both here on the Café as well as the Penguin Magic page: "I just downloaded this effect. The move is a bit of a knack, but after trying this about five times and wondering if I was ever going to be able to do this, suddenly the card flew across the room! The download also has another very cool move where a card is produced in the middle of a card fan. Very nicely done. The video gets to the point and explains not only the bottom shot, but a few other move very clearly. I highly recommend it." "The video is short, under 15 minutes. The move is explained pretty decent. The way he does it, it looks great. This move is knacky and well take practice. It's not easy. I have been doing cards for s long time now and I have trouble with it. I actually bought this a days ago and just now did it the first time tonight. After a few days I got it and only done it a couple times. So not ready yet. The card shoots incredibly fast and I like it. Practice this, but when you finally get it down, you'll love it. Can't go wrong fir the price. So practice practice practice and you'll have a great trick." |
