Thank YOU Owen. As you know, my kids have gotta eat SOMETHING, so I do indeed market a bunch of my stuff. But frankly, my brain is so 'stuck' on creating illusions, I can also afford to share some of this stuff for FREE. I really and truly appreciate my fans - and so I sure hope that's 'coming across.'

It definitely is. Thanks so much :)

He's great!

[Jay bows.......and notices some tomato sauce on his shoe.]

It's my pleasure Chode!

Thanks for the positive vibes.

I performed it for some friends just a few days ago. The reaction was NUTS. So much fun!!!

LOLOLOL!!

I really DID consider selling it as a separate trick - but hey, it's just a pdf, my fans CAN make it themselves - and when it comes to my fans...I just couldn't resist!

You too boss, youi too...

And you - you're too kind!

Solid thinking Elijah!

Cool, thanks

...but your feet show it, cuz they are Longfellows right?

Sweeet! Glad you are enjoying that DVD. I really worked hard on it boss.

Saweeeeeeeeeeeeet version for when sitting down.

BOOOOOM!

Yo Tendopain! GREAT to have you as a subscriber. Rock on magic man!!!

SankeyMagic I just can't believe you replied..made my day..the magician that got me into magic and the one I grew up admiring at just replied..woah

:)

Just slip your hand in your pocket to get something else for another trick, and leave the coin behind. :)

Ok, thanks Jay. You must love trouser shopping! Hmm, pockets, pockets, pockets ; )

Yeah, I do indeed think that you might be running when not being chased BUT...that's just my darn opinion, right? More like an educated guess, based almost solely on MY own limited collection of performances. Your might well have a very different vibe, style, approach, etc. Plus (and this is huge) if you have some DOUBTS about an aspect of an illusion, those doubts WILL inflence the experience in innumerable ways. So you need to def deal with your concern, either by exploring your revised label approach, or by at least trying at the version I've outlined here. Or (and this is my favorite) by a third way. Gotta love #3. Keep the door open for that one. :)

I actually LOVE the idea of adding the "Not for individual resale" to the label. It would mainly be JUST for me though. But it would solve the same problem I thought of. A real TicTac label would obviously never not have the ingredients and nutrition information and at least in the U.S. it is illegal to sell food items for human consumption without that. Like Carey said, the only way this would be is if the item was sold in a multi-pack and then the individual items would have the "Not for retail" disclaimer. I don't think it would be "over-proving" because for most spectators it wouldn't really be a detail they would think of or pay attention to anyway, whether its there OR not there. So most would not think about it one way or the other. But for those 10% anal detailed people like me, they MIGHT realize the label is missing something. Therefore, in those small cases this would solve the problem. Still again within in the context of the performance of the trick, they'll be so engrossed with the trick that even many detailed people won't bother to think of something missing from the label. It would mostly be for if they kept the box as a souvenir and closely examined it later. Detailed magicians however, (the ones performing the tricks) notice all kinds of things when they're practicing/working/playing with their props because of course they're spending much more time with them. But most of these are things that the spectator will never notice in the course of a performance. But like I said I would add the "not for retail label" for me, not the spectator, just because I feel it would make things "COMPLETE." For 90-95% of spectators I don't think it would ADD nor TAKE AWAY from the performance. Do to my germaphobic OCD however, I would make sure that I cleaned and sanitized and/or sterilized the quarter that goes in the tic tac box. Then when removing the Tic Tacs, and doing the setup, I would wear latex gloves and do the prep in a sanitary environment, i.e. the TicTacs or the quarter would not be placed onto an unsanitary surface. Therefore, it will be perfectly safe and sanitary for the spectator to eat, consume and enjoy the TicTacs after the trick! :-)

There's something about providing OTHER people with certain rare feelings...that can inspire us to experience some very special feelings as well. #CircleOfLife

that's true... n sankey I love your magic... they are neat n clean.

Yes indeedy!

LOL. Love it. Very funny my friend!

All hail the Wu-Tang!!!!

I bet eventually I'll fail to amaze ya with something or other, but hey, our 'relationship' can handle that. :)

Aw....thanks!!!

Thank YOU for such a detailed comment.

Yes and yes. I think that's a very accurate way of looking at things. But hey...what the hell do I know?

On the other hand (no pun intended) when you vanish a coin the spectator is trying to figure out "where'd it go." At least with an appearance (or a transformation for that matter) there's no heat in that regard.

"Coin to Dust!" What a strange STRANGE trick that would be! :)

Hey Oscar, looks like we are BOTH fans of the other guys's brain. I like you variation my friend.

SankeyMagic I'm rewatching the video. Seriously, this is the kind of routine that gets so good results whit such simple steps. No sneaky moves, so organic, and yet... impossible in the view of the audience. This is a truly creative piece of magic art. This is creativity right here. And I would definitely add this to my must-go routines in my performances. Also you're a very funny guy, Jey. Seriously haha and thnks for the nice thoughts! ☺️
