Title: Signed And Sealed X2
Description: Nik Stokes


Sehnsucht - April 5, 2007 10:16 AM (GMT)
A Ziploc bag is closed and placed on your palm.
A borrowed signed coin is placed on top of the bag.
The coin visibly penetrates the still sealed bag.
It is really inside. Really!
And you never touched it.
You repeat the effect.
The coin is positively identified.
You merely throw it towards the bag.
It visibly penetrates again.
It is really inside. Really!

I got this some time ago and I decided to do a review for it.

The first time I watch the demo video, I was like "are you kidding me" and was so excited at the thought of adding it to the Indecent trick. Extremely visual just as Indecent so I decided to buy the DVD.

When I got the DVD, watched it, learned the method, I was like "are you kidding me" the other way around. I felt a cheated by its method. The method to me, absolutely in no way held up to Indecent. However, I was willing to give it a go due to the extreme visualness of it.

I tried once, and I don't see how the heck are you going to do this trick properly.
Because, No.1 - The spectator has to be quite blind to pull this one off.
No. 2 - You cannot hand the bag out for examination. (Unlike Indecent where you end clean).

So I tried to come up with something to help at least give me some consolation to me purchasing this DVD.

For No.1, I could probably do it at night. Visibility is poor and maybe I can just perform it without getting caught.
For No.2 , I seriously have no idea how am I going to work this one out. As with all penetration effects, the item being penetrated always has to be inspected. For this, it is ruled out.

For a fact, I would be feeling better if the creator addresses these problems. However, he doesn't do so and it's as though he saying, "take a chance, they might not figure it out". It as though you are doing a Coin through Bottle effect with a huge hole at the bottom of the bottle. Well you cannot let them inspect it anyway so might as well risk it.

To the description of the effect, I feel really naive to have bought this purely by seeing the demo. Of course the coin is inside, but what about before or after the climax? Clean-up? Subtleties? Patter? All of these important things for a good magic effect is absent.

I'm seriously sorry to make this review a little negative and I apologise to those who may have good use for this, but personally, I feel that this is a waste of my money. Hope I can think of a better use for this and I urge anyone who has thoughts about purchasing this check other things out, but not this definitely.

Thanks.
