The Cigarette Through Quarter is a modern classic of magic, only made possible by one of the most ingenious gimmicked coins ever invented. With the help of this miracle of modern machining, a solid object can be pushed straight through the middle of a borrowed coin--one of the most magical and memorable feats that a magician can perform. On this DVD, you’ll see six modern masters each perform their own version of this impossible feat. In this volume, you’ll learn a variety of approaches to this classic effect. You’ll first see David Roth’s classic approach followed by J.J. Sanvert’s utilization of the routine to demonstrate why smoking is bad for you. You’ll also learn Derek Dingle’s complete routine, which includes a cigarette production, some magically appearing matches and a pseudo-explanation that will leave spectators even more puzzled. The set is rounded out by Garrett Thomas’s space-age version using a laser and a pen, Dan Fleshman’s family-friendly take with a crayon, and finally, Michael Ammar’s neo-classic routine using a pencil. Additionally, Ammar also teaches his Flip Switch move, hailed as the best and most invisible way to switch the gimmicked coin in and out of play. Includes: DAVID ROTH--Cigarette Through Quarter, J. J. SANVERT--Cigarette Through Coin, DEREK DINGLE--Cigarette Through Quarter, GARRETT THOMAS--Pen Through Quarter (Laser), DAN FLESHMAN--Crayon Through Quarter, and MICHAEL AMMAR--Pencil Through Quarter.
