And so the Revolution continues...!

Hey there magic lovers and haters and mortals combined! I'm back with a review for Revolution Coin Vanish created by Kevin Parker. This review will be broken down just like the others, if your lost as to what Revolution is then go to my video from Friday, 27, 2008. If your just too lazy to scroll your ass down, then here is the Ellusionist trailer to this fabulous effect.


On to the Review:

Revolution Coin Magic
created by Kevin Parker
taught by Brad Christian

Effect: No better way for me to explain it so here is what Ellusionist says about this product:
"Ellusionist has raised the bar with this sleeveless, visual, both-hands-empty true vanish of a coin or any small object".

First Thoughts: When I first saw the effect, I was blown away! Seriously it was like Katrina just hit me in the face, thats how much I got blowed...woah too much info. I liked how it looked different from other coin vanishes and wasn't so fast, and went extremely slow which increased its beauty ten fold. It baffled top magicians as well as frying many laymen along the way.

Video Quality and Teaching: I got the download right away, because I'm really impatient when it comes to magic. Nothing new to say here, the download was quick and the quality of the video was "DVD-esque". Taught by Brad Christian who did a mighty fine job of explains the ins and outs of this illusion as well as some very useful tips. I thought for a thirty minute video, the people got a really simple and to the point explanation first, and then some psychological breakdown of the effect was thrown in too. Great teaching.

Method: Woohoo, was this method interesting. When the video finally got to the part about the method, I just laughed. You will too if you purchase this, because the vanish is THAT ingenious, that you'll never ever come near it. No gimmicks, completely impromptu, no devices of any sort just you, your two hands, and some magic. Alot of thought was clearly put into the method, as there are different versions of the effect taught. You are taught to use the Revolution as a utility move to do other types of things such as transpositions (die to coin), and also vanish other small objects.

Final Thoughts: I highly recommend getting this in your arsenal because this is in a league of its own. Revolution was properly named because this is a Revolution from typical fast paced coin vanishes. Thats not to say other coin vanishes are inferior but this effect takes a different approach and succeeds with flying colors. I couldn't go into more detail about what some things Brad goes over because they are borderline exposure. I think with the concept you will learn on the DVD or download, new ideas will definitley spring which is why you have seperate forum for this vanish. I hope you guys enjoyed that review. Take Care. Peace. - Magizzy
