Eric Jones
Ellusionist
(Based on 1 review)
Taking the basics you learned in METAL 1, and applying them to highly workable routines. From table magic to in the hands & close up, it doesn't get more personal than this.
This is a master class in sleight of hand coin routines at their finest. If you have a foundation in coin magic, your next step on the journey is Metal 2.
What's on the DVD
// ROUTINES
• Imagination - Produce and vanish a coin from thin air while showing your hands completely open the whole time. (Multi handlings)
• Impossible Production - No coins to perform with? Easy. Just grab 4 regular coins out of thin air and get to work. Incredible way to start a routine.
• Dean Dill's No Extras - A beautiful coin matrix that shows coins teleporting from one location to another with just your hands, easy to learn and perform.
• Jones C/S - Make a regular silver and copper coin trade locations in your hands while your spectator is holding your wrists.
• Pocket Miser - Learn to extract a ridiculous amount of coins from the air with just your hands and regular coins.
• Coin on Shoulder - A easy and fun routine to perform for a sitting spectator where a coin repeatedly appears on their shoulder.
• G.O.D.H.A.N.D. - An impossible coin vanish and production for a sitting spectator. They see both side of hands, fingers open, and nowhere to hide.
• Body Loading Sequence - Taking GODHAND even further, Eric shows a full rotuine where the coin jumps all over the spectators body, in and out of pockets.

This is a DVD full of strong advanced coin magic. Lots of it is tough, there's not a whole lot for the complete beginner. The main DVD goes through all of the routines which I explain below but it also has an extras portion that focuses on tips. As far as organization I would rather that the tips were included as part of the main DVD. They also included a live performance of the 4 coins across taught on Metal One. It was a great performance but it was kind of random to include it without even referencing the first volume or acknowledging where to find it.
Imagination: Is a very cool way to make a coin vanish, or appear. This is a modern move that will fool many magicians, it is a little angly but it is a great impromptu move that can be performed without any wardrobe requirements.
The Impossible Production: This is a quick, concise, straightforward production of 4 coins. Could be adapted for 3 coins as well. With a little practice I was able to get it down. This uses some advanced moves though.
Dean Dill's No Extras: This is a matrix type routine using only 4 coins. You will need to perform it on a close up pad or table cloth. It is not my favorite matrix routine but it is nice.
Jones C/S: This is a very bold in the spectators hand copper silver routine. It only uses one copper and one silver but man it is bold. I have not tried this yet, I have yet to work up the courage. This is definitely an advanced handling.
The Pocket Miser's Dream: This is a nice coin production that would be in the reach of most coin workers. It is a miser's routine that works all out of one pocket so it is very practical. It puts to use many sleights that were taught in the Metal One.
Coin on Shoulder: Eric has a lot of work on this. I have played with it and it is surprisingly doable.
G.O.D.H.A.N.D.: This is a nice total vanish using the coin on shoulder. Interesting idea but I don't know if I will work with this at all.
Body Loading Sequence: This is a full routine that uses coin on shoulder, coin to spectators pocket all with kind of a paper balls over the head feel. All of this with one coin and a spectator. This is a trick you could perform on stage if you wanted. I have experimented with most of the moves in the routine and been surprised with how easy it was to get away with. This is definitely an advanced routine.
For the most part I really enjoyed the material here. It's a good mixed bag of various sleights, methods and effects. If you like coin work and are interested in getting a little more bold and involving your spectator more than this is a good DVD for you.
