I saw this in person 3 times and once he did it to meet directly and it is simply stunning. I truly felt like I experienced real magic.

With all due respect to the stunning performance, but Dean's Triangle looks and feels much more magical to me in many ways, and I am going to stick to it.

I ordered as well. Does look like a more portable version of Dean's Triangle.

For comparison here Dean's Coins Through Table:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vLyfjvjkJ-0
and
James Lewis's 'Visible Coins Through Glass Table":
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=YHRN0zJwq54

Which of these three routines is the best for you?

I think this is better than Dean's Triangle. It's way more magical even though it's less visual than Dean's Triangle. Reason being the final coin through glass being done in the spectator's hand. That's really what they will remember in the end, that it went through the glass and into their hand. That's much stronger than the superior visuals of Dean's Triangle.

I like CTG Ultra more. I feel it is flows nicer and the motions are all fluid. The impossiblity of the last phase is stronger than Dean's in my opinion and more artistic.

And this is just me, but I love the aesthetics of the single glass pane as opposed to the Dean's Triangle Set. And the theatrics of the glass being held is beautiful.

The James Lewis routine is also nice. In the end, the overall effect is the same. I just like the fluidity and theatrics in CTG Ultra.

And more importantly, it is readily available, for now!

Phenomenal effect. The only thing I'm curious about is where those who are purchasing this are planning to perform it? I can't see myself toting a glass panel for informal or close-up magic, and I don't have a projection system when I perform parlor shows (although for some performances I'd love to learn how to set one up...) - just curious how people are planning to perform this?

In the advert he performs this strolling, I feel this is a very strong piece of magic! Yes you have to carry it around but boy it is worth it!! If you don't perform it during a set, leave it behind the bar, or place on floor, or you could even use as an impromptu table for card effects also?

My thougths as well. And if you were going to do this casually at home even, why would you use a special, separate piece of glass instead of using a regular table? In addition, you have to be careful using someone's hand for this effect. If the person's hand is too close to teh glass, it will not work as what happened on Penn and Teller. He had to instruct Teller to bring hand a little lower. If it is too low, it will not work either.

Hmm - yeah, I guess I just can't see myself bring that glass pane around for strolling, although I do hear what you guys are saying. I'm sure those who get it and use it will be very pleased.
