You're about to learn one of the most visual and versatile techniques in all of coin magic. It's difficult to master, but the payoff is huge.

The Muscle Pass is a technique that makes coin magic as eye-poppingly visual as any magic on earth. But, it's also a technique that takes many hours of practice to perfect. Just knowing how it works isn't enough. To get the height and control that's gonna make your reputation, you've got to practice and refine your technique beyond what most think is possible.

Without the DVD, most magicians give up on the technique and quit before they benefit from its power.

With the DVD, you'll save countless hours and frustration. You'll practice properly and make steady gains.

Noblezada takes you step by step and in detail. He shows you all of the inside work behind this revolutionary piece of magic. You'll learn all of the coolest applications of the Muscle Pass. You'll be able to make a coin appear from a completely empty hand, vanish completely, and even pass a coin through solid objects.

The Muscle Pass will add a new dimension to your coin magic, and Noblezada will help you master it faster than ever before!

Am I turning into an old curmudgeon? I hope I'm still too young for that.

After watching the intro and performance segments, I was ready to hate this DVD. I just don't get the over-produced video thing. Maybe it's like web design. Once everyone got a copy of Dreamweaver, they thought they were web designers. They weren't. Now everybody's got video editing software. That doesn't mean they're video producers.

But you're not going to buy this DVD for the performance; you'll buy it to learn the muscle pass. So you're in for a very worthwhile experience!

After the performance segments, Jay goes into the one thing I expected to be missing: history. In fact, it's a very thorough history... better than 90% of the stuff I've had the pleasure of reviewing.

I chose to review this DVD because I'm one of the few reviewers on staff that actually does the muscle pass. I've been doing it for about two decades. In fact, it's saved my ass several times when other bits of my act went wrong. It's a wonderful bit of magic.

But it's hard to learn. I remember having a deal with my Junior English teacher. I could drop the coin three times before I had to put it away. In addition to class-time, I spent months at home helplessly watching as the coin fell again and again to the soft comfort of my bed. Damn that coin!

I didn't have a teacher. I saw someone do it and I decided to teach myself. No books. No DVDs (make the VHS tapes). No mentors. Nobody in my magic community in Kansas City could do it.

The first teaching section talks about the four qualities you want to look for in a coin: size, weight, edge and color. Each person is different and Jay goes into great detail about how to pick the right coin for you.

Then we get into the "work". The instruction is very detailed and gives you everything you need to get going. Jay goes into body language, getting more height and catching the coin (the most consistently difficult part, in my opinion).

The rest of the DVD is spent on applications and effects with the muscle pass. As a long time muscle-passer, this was the best part of the DVD. I'll be honest in saying that I've only used it for the "anit-gravity" coin plot. Now I'm looking at the move in a whole new light.
