Stuck by Greg Rostami

Effect

From the wArPeD mind of Greg Rostami comes STUCK!

You start by borrowing a quarter. Place the quarter on the back of your hand and proceed to TWIST it into your skin.

When the hand is removed the coin has penetrated the back of the hand. But WAIT . . .

The coin is NOT coming out the other side of the hand . . . IT’S STUCK!

Both hands are shown completely empty . . . there is no sign of the coin.

You then proceed to pull the coin SLOWLY and VISUALLY out of the palm of your hand!

Both the vanish and the reveal of the coin will leave everyone STUNNED!

This 44 minute DVD, explains how to perform STUCK! Greg also shares his insight about the psychology of the effect. You also get 5 AMAZING variations for revealing the coin.

Here is what Professional Magicians say . . .

"STUCK! is THE impromptu STUNNER of 2006!" - James Linn

"STUCK! is an excellent addition to any magician's working repertoire. Simple in effect, easy to do, extremely visual, plus it's always ready, with a cutting edge method that will certainly keep you from being STUCK the next time someone asks you to do something.” - Bob Kohler

“I've Had STUCK! for a few days now. I've performed it for my friends. So far I've gotten nothing but wide open eyes and friends looking at each other wondering what to say other than 'Where the heck is that coin?'. I'm really liking that vanish a lot. You've got a real nice effect and for my money I, once again, got more than I paid for with your product.” - Charlie Justice

"I was one of the first to see STUCK! over a year ago. I started performing it THAT night and continued to the day I quit magic. STUCK! is one of the best IMPROV. effects you can do." - Justin Miller

"The best purchase I have made in the past 2 years. Direct eye poping Magic." - Alan Rorrison

"STUCK! is one of the strongest effects you can do with a borrowed coin, right on the spot. Well done." - Peter Eggink

"Greg has thought this effect out thoroughly. Every move is motivated making a very clean routine. I'll be learning this one." - Platt

"STUCK! is one of the most visual and in-your-face coin effects to date. For any magician, this is a MUST." - Vinny Marini

REVIEW BY NING of THE LITTLE MAGIC SHOP

Stuck by Greg Rostami

This effect continues the single-trick DVDs that are still popular with magic creators and is a great impromptu sequence with a coin... ANY coin! ;) The reproduction or pulling the coin out of the palm of the hand is visual and quite magical. It may seem gross to girls but it certainly looks wicked! Angles are not tight but you cannot perform this with audiences behind or at your extreme sides for obvious reasons *grin*

If there's any bones to pick, I guess, is the production values of the DVD. For example, someone’s mobile phone rings during the explanation of the routine for about 15 seconds! But instead of re-shooting, this take was kept and is what is presented to the viewer. Also, crediting is lacking. For example, a Ramsey subtlety is credited to someone else because the hand is held in a claw position, instead of the normal position. But that aside, STUCK as an effect might be ideal if you like completely impromptu coin magic.

No gimmicks are involved at all, so you start and end clean & you can use any coin - borrowed or your own, local currency or otherwise... Nice!

Cheers,
Ning ^_^

Is there a difference between the contents of online download and the contents of the DVD ? There is significant price difference between the two media types.

There shouldn't be. They didn't advertise any differences in the advertisement. I've got the download and it addresses everything very well.

Thanks, then I will go for the download too. it is 50% cheaper

I bought the download version.
This is an excellent effect that can be done any time,anywhere.
This works well with Singapore 20 cents coin.
Requires practice. Highly recommended for casual performers.

Thanks to Ning for the initial review.

You're welcome :) I wasn't aware he had STUCK on his website as well... but having checked it out, yes... it's essentially the same stuff, but the DVD, well, you pay for the DVD authoring & package, plus shipping *grin*

And yep, use of local coins for this is not a problem at all ;) Impromptu magic!
