the wrath i inspire

if u get the wordplay in the post title then you probably are as lame as i am :P

for some strange reason, i could never come to accept the status quo amongnst coin magicians, which being ``david roth is the best there is". his presentation does not appeal to me and whatever little i have deconstructed of his methods do not impress me any further. may be its because i m a card man and have never understood coin magic. but i m trying to be honest here, not cocky. i have seen very few coin work but i like these
bertini, ponta the smith, eric jones.


anyways ... moving on to the real topic of this post ... don't u think that the false transfer in the following video looks suspicious to a magician ... don't know what a spectator will think of it but it just does not look or feel convincing to me ...



he performs the false transfer thrice and it never appeared convincing to me.. unless ofcourse i have completely missed the mark in deconstructing the method. if it is of any consolation to those who are cursing me right now i am completely fooled by the trick. i do not know how its done.

and now that i am at it let me also confess that i have never ever liked any version of ramsay's coins and cylinders ... every coin magician fancies his chance at greatness by performing a version of it and they always make a mess of it.
