Thought I'd start a thread for this new DVD, shipping this week, that was reviewed in the current Genii.

I generally don't like DVDs that are too homemade in their production values. And I am not a coin person. But I always want to get some basic coin handling down and find most DVDs dealing too much with routines I'll never do. So, there's something appealing to me about a DVD that is just coin vanishes.

Anyone seen this?

There is a short list of performers where I will buy any DVD they put out, simply because I enjoy watching them and always learn something from them.
John Carney is definitely on that list so I don't even need to see a review to know that I will be buying this.

Everyone entering magic should learn this material. It will teach you more then just coin vanishes.

Are there any reviews on this?

Looks like a great DVD, with a lot of details on coin control; definitely picking this up.

Ten bucks and a bowl of nuts says you thought he did a strike vanish and watched it again!

Where do I send the money and which type of nuts would you prefer EZ?

I had the opportunity to see a part of this, and it is definitely a winner. John teaches some more eclectic vanishes, and is not only clear in his explanations, he gives a great amount of material on history, and finesse. This is worth the study. Even if you decide not to use the vanish taught, you will learn many tips that you can apply to your own magic. This is not a trick dvd, it is a learning tool to better your own magic.

That vanish with the pencil is very deceptive! Anybody know who the originator of it is?

The vanish with the pencil is Johns variation of a David Roth vanish (which he also teaches) and it is a beautiful move. You will learn something from this dvd and John is a wonderful teacher.
