Imagination Coins
Thomas, Garrett
Kozmomagic Inc.
(Based on 1 review)
Imagination Coins allows your audience to do the magic in their own hands. Simple, clear and beyond anything they can imagine. If you have used Imagination Coins in the past this information will bring you into a new world of effectiveness.
Effect:
The spectator clearly has four coins that they stack in their own hand. The magician does nothing as the spectator imagines giving the magician a coin and somehow even though the magician does not touch or go near the spectator, it happens: the coin ends up leaving the spectator's hand and materializing in the magician's hand. Then, with another feat of imagination, the coin manifests itself back into the hand of your spectator.
Garrett's Imagination Coins concept gets revisited and updated with a treasure trove of special bonuses that get even stronger reactions! He re-teaches the original version now with more detail and more intimate close up instruction. Special Guest Eric Jones stops by to interview Garrett on this effect and share some of his personal thoughts on Coins Across.
Many magicians have taken Garrett's workshop or private lesson on David Roth's Coins Across. Garrett touches on every phase of this classic effect. His complete Coins Across workshop is available here for the first time ever.
As a special Bonus you receive the method for the effect that Garrett calls Jump: four quarters being trapped by two pennies instantly vanish between the pennies and appear into your hand.
"It's more than just a coins across, more than a series of sleights... it's an example of how real magic would look."
- Eric Jones
"It is the only coin trick I would ever do. It's that strong."
- Luke Jermay
"This effect does not just teach you how to manipulate coins, but how to manipulate your audience. That is what the best magic always accomplishes."
- Kainoa Harbottle
10 pence Gimmick and small, black, silicon change coin purse included.

Imagination coins is (when performed correctly) a very powerful piece of magic. It is performed in the spectator's hands meaning it adds to the level of impossibility, and it is very simple with no real complex moves.
The DVD is well produced, and starts off with a very cinematic introduction, and then leads onto a live performance, even before you have reached the main menu screen with the different chapters to select. You get two different performances with the DVD. One is a two phase routine and the other is a longer four phase routine. The four routine is the same as the two phase routine except there are two extra phases in the middle. The video quality is good, and the ad copy is perfectly acceptable.
The routine is very simple and direct, and as I said it happens in their hands. The storyline is very clear and almost gives a reason for the magic to happen, even if it doesn't make sense at all! The only problem is that you have to be quite good at your audience management, because they are handling the gimmick throughout the effect. He does talk about audience management on the DVD though. The finale of the trick is when the coin jumps back to their hand, and you are left with nothing. The handling that Garrett Thomas uses when he performs the trick is quite difficult, and only experienced coin magicians would probably be able to pull it off. He addresses this point, and shows how to alternatively finish the routine, which is good, but the effect isn't as strong with this ending.
The gimmick is well produced, and comes with a little blue coin purse. There isn't really much more to say about that, it does what it is supposed to do to a high standard. You just have to supply 10p coins.
Overall, a very good routine, explanation, storyline, gimmick and production. Well done, good product. Would recommend it.
