After fifteen years of development, Daryl's excellent handling of this beautiful, classic coin effect is finally available on an instructional DVD! Three silver dollars, held in a fan at the extreme tips of the fingers, magically fly through the air, invisibly, from hand to hand, in the most breathtaking manner possible. No sleeves, pulls, shells, magnets, or gimmicks of any kind. Finish clean and reset. Everything can be examined!
Comes complete with different colored practice chips to make learning the routine as easy as possible.
Includes instructional DVD with performance by Daryl - The Magician's Magician.

This is one of the very few effects I've actually purchased in the past five years. I bought it from Daryl shortly before we worked the "McBride Magic" show in Atlantic City (Fall 2001). I thought it would be a great trick for walk-around before the show. I picked up some well-worn casino coins and started practicing.
I should say that I'm not a connoisseur of 3 Fly routines. I know there are a lot of them out there and I've seen my fair share. To be honest, they all look the same to me: a short, visual coins across routine done at the fingertips. All of them that I've seen also suffer from the same fault: how to get that last coin to the other hand. Everyone seems to rely on this goofy "I'll make it go visually" joke. Blah! (I have heard some more recent versions get around this with some clever blocking).
So as these things go, I liked Daryl's version. I found it relatively easy to learn and to perform. Now that it comes with an instructional DVD, the owner can really study the moves and pacing of the routine. The addition of some full-size, colored poker chips makes it even more convenient for folks that don't have access to a casino.
