Alex’s “Mirage” is an excellent vanish effect. It’s clear he has put the time and thought into this, and though it isn’t for every setting, it is for most…and it delivers! Especially for an impromptu moment (or actual created!)
SLC • Apr 7th, 2021Yes the price is high. But the explanation is great. A lot of the thinking behind it is explained. You can learn a lot from it, especially as beginner. The trick itself is very visual and completely impromptu.
switzerland • Dec 29th, 20201 hour for 1 vanish. The attention to detail is real here, one of the best vanish tutorials I’ve ever seen
Lexington Park, MD • Oct 30th, 2020This is a really good vanish, and Alex is a great teacher with many tips. A little bit angle sensitive but with practice is very good.
United States • Aug 21st, 2020I often read, that this vanish is overpriced but that's just not true. You learn not only one technique but multiple ways to let the object reappear and also you learn ways to let all your magic appear smoother and cleaner. Besides this Video being 61 minutes long therefore going into a lot of detail you also get a second vanish as a bonus that you can even combine with MiRAGE. Totally worth every penny.
Germany • Jun 24th, 2020This has quickly become one of my favorite coin vanishes, for multiple reasons: first, it's so very different than any other coin vanish, a fresh idea that catches people off guard. Second, it's relatively easy to learn (though mastery does take some time). This one needs to be done slooooooowly. Definite recommend to buy this.
Leipzig, Saxony • Jun 21st, 2019Fairly new to coin magic and I love this effect. Instructions were simple yet thorough. With some practice, it’s become a staple in my routine.
St Louis, Missouri • Jan 28th, 2019This is an incredibly simple, but beautiful vanish that allows you to show both hands empty at the end, if you desired. I like the authors explanations. Worth the cost and price.
Michigan • Jun 13th, 2018The trick relies on a ridiculously simple principle, but has a great impact. When I first saw the video, I thought "why didn't I think of that!" The extra time to go into more detail really made it worth the purchase.
London • Apr 11th, 2016I didn't know if I should purchase this trick or not however after some practice and several performances I do not regret anything and I suggest to anyone interested to add this coin trick into their books as it simple yet very powerful. In addition, the explanation is very detailed and clear and the bonus coin trick is very amazing too if done correctly. 5/5
England • Mar 22nd, 2016If you are unsure whether you should buy Mirage or not, then let me help you: You can buy it and either show everybody that you can vanish small objects in a very beautiful and visual way without gimmicks etc., you learn Alex’s principals to make your own magic or both. But if you don't buy it, then you miss one of the greatest things in your life and you’ll regret your decision. I’m a card magician but the instructions are so clear that even I can do it (I just need to practise a little). So, what are you waiting for? Buy it and be happy for the rest of your life.
Switzerland • Jun 9th, 2015The way this trick works is crazy. You wouldn't think that you could get away with it or believe how it's done. There is a lot of high quality teaching on not just the effect, but on the method and other ideas you can take with you to use.
USA • Apr 20th, 2015To be honest, I had never written a review for any magic tricks from any website, but now i wrote a review for this one. I am a card magician but I am kind of like in the middle of beginner and intermediate level for coin magic and I know a lot of great coin vanishes but this one is the best vanish that I ever seen. Before I bought this trick, I saw a trailer and I was like what the hell?! There is no way that can happen but when I bought it I really liked the method and this is really easy to do and it's such a visual vanish. After all I highly recommend this trick to everyone!
New York • Mar 6th, 2015Alex is brilliant. This effect is brilliant. No gimmicks - just pure sleight of hand.
USA • Sep 16th, 2013Pretty awesome vanish, very visual, although I think it's a tiny bit overpriced.
Los Angeles • Jul 8th, 2013SWEEEEET! Great CLEAR instruction and some bonuses to boot. Will be perfecting this easy method and using it ALL the time.
Maine • May 29th, 2013I am very new to coin magic. I bought this trick and I am very happy. The effect is amazing and the way Alex Geiser explains it is perfect. I highly recommend this trick.
California • Mar 30th, 2013This is extremely visual. Completely impromptu and can be done with a borrowed coin. I haven't seen a more visual coin vanish that is 100% impromptu ever! For me personally I found the trick a little knacky and a bit difficult. Apart from that, everything is great and it is NOT overpriced. Get the DVD and you will know. Thanks.
Thailand • Mar 4th, 2013Firstly, I would like to say Alex is a great teacher! I will review this product in detail. The effect: As a whole, the effect alone is worth the money simply because all is not shown in the trailer. You learn multiple ways to reveal the coin that are awesome. Alex Geiser goes into a lot of detail teaching this effect to you. It is impromptu, can be performed anywhere and anytime. It is the most visual effect taught out there and it is beautiful. A real piece of art for the magic lover. Apart from the effect: Everything that Alex says is pure gold! His philosophy on magic is just amazing! He is my new favorite magician. He explains about performing so beautifully. This is a must buy simply because of what Alex has to say. Let alone the effect itself. Difficulty: This was my first coin trick I've bought. It is the first time I have handled coins and thank god I bought this dvd! It is easy and the smoothness with which Alex performs it will only come with practice. Lynel Vanish: A great vanish! Looks stunning. Like I said, worth the money. Conclusion: In conclusion, this DVD is the best DVD I have bought at theory11! The Lynel Vanish, Mirage and what Alex has to say is well worth the $20. So if you are wondering if this trick is worth the money - YES it is!
India • Feb 28th, 2013I figured it out but still bought it to learn the subtleties. It's a bit overpriced but you might want to get it. Good trick.
England • Feb 11th, 2013This vanish is so visual and looks so real. When I first saw this trick I could not believe my eyes that this vanish is completely impromptu!
India • Dec 2nd, 2012This is pretty expensive for a single coin vanish method. However, I would recommend this for any coin workers. This vanish is very beautiful, and his psychology behind the methodology is worth listening. This would be one of your secret weapons.
Japan • Oct 19th, 2012This is the most clean and visual coin vanish on the market to date!
UK • Sep 28th, 2012Good coin vanish, but it's too expensive. It'll require some practice to make it look natural.
Singapore • Sep 22nd, 2012It's a cool trick. Some parts are hard, but when you get it down, you will love the trick. I do it a lot because it is so visual effect. It's probably in my top three favorite coin vanishes!
Denmark • Sep 21st, 2012Alex's pursuit of perfection is evident in this beautiful effect in which he uses a coin. There isn't a wasted move. He is very generous with his explanation focusing on performance as well as technique. There is a lot to be learned from his mental approach to magic. Highly recommended, well worth the practice especially for the purists out there. It is not a coin trick but a technique that can be used with other objects to create the same wonderful effect.
London • Jul 20th, 2012I love this, best vanish I've ever seen. Combine this with Doug McKenzie's flicker and you're set.
California • Jul 16th, 2012I was a bit unsure about getting this. But when I got it... BOY this is a good DVD! He doesn't just tell you about how to vanish the coin - You learn about psychology, how to improve your coin work in general, awesome coin appearances. It's fantastic. A beautiful vanish!
Australia • Jul 9th, 2012I love this trick! Alex makes it look so easy. I think everyone should get this trick!
Florida • Mar 6th, 2012Amazing. It's my favorite coin vanish and also can be used as a perfect end for Homer Liwag's coinONE. This is worth your money.
