Mirage
Geiser, Alex
Theory 11
(Based on 1 review)
It happens slowly, just like real magic. There are no gimmicks, magnets, or wires. No setup. Just one coin.
Mirage isn’t just a coin vanish. You can vanish virtually any small object with just the wave of your hand. If you wanted a vanish to look like real magic, this is it. Learn multiple, practical methods of restoring the object back to reality.
It's not just a coin vanish - Alex shares principals of his philosophy that can be used to enhance ANY kind of magic. Slow. Delicate. Natural.
Mirage has been one of Alex's signature coin vanishes that he's kept to himself for many years. He's now ready to let you in on the secret, and guide you through each step of the learning process.
Learn several appearances to make the coin re-emerge after the vanish. As a BONUS, learn the Lynel Vanish — a coin vanish from the tip of your finger.
Featuring detailed, intricate explanation over 61 minutes of instruction by Alex Geiser.

Alex Geiser is probably my new favorite coin worker. He’s smooth, he’s slow, and his coin magic looks like magic and not sleight of hand. He’s not like any of these ‘coin-fu’ guys on other coin magic DVDs.
This vanish looks so good. It’s not the cleanest ‘bare hand’ vanish, it has to be ‘reproduced’ in order to end clean, but it’s still better than 95% of other coin vanishes out there.
As for the technique, I’d say it has the same level of difficulty as a standard coin vanish. I’ve been working with coins for years, and I was doing the move fairly well in the mirror before I finished the DVD. It will still take lots of practice to look great, but the core details will be learned quickly. There are lots of extra ideas to clean up, to reproduce, and to work with mistakes. The bonus move included is the perfect bonus move. It’s a little more difficult, has some angle issues, but was a nice little addition for us to practice along with the main technique.
The DVD is standard Theory 11 quality, HIGH. It’s shot in HD, the music is awesome, the graphics are cool, and the menu is easy to navigate.
Alex himself is relaxed, but seems a little quiet and maybe uncomfortable on camera a few times, but as he goes highly in-depth on the sleights, theory, and subtleties, and he nails it on the head every single time. He’s like if Wayne Houchin, John Bannon, and David Roth had a child. Which is pretty awesome in my opinion!
Simple. If you are a coin worker, get this!!!
