MiRAGE by Alex Geiser

[Tommy10606]

Hi guys,
this will be my firs rewiev on T11 so be lenient, please

O.K. so, the MiRAGE by Alex Geiser looks like nice coin trick BUT is very hard to master too. The handling is bad...
Maybe it's just because I have bad hands but I just can't do this trick. Mabe with different handling, but this is weird. It looks very VERY unnatural. And the last thing, this trick is so overpriced.

Mastered effect - 7,5/10
Teaching - 9/10
Handling - 6/10
Final verdict - 7,5/10 ---> This is just beacuse of teaching, effect is not so nice.

Hello!

While I understand your point of view, I think you may have to give some more details. I am not really into coin magic so Mirage is a really difficult and knack move for me, but I love to practise it in front of the mirror because it looks so good when performed right. However, I am not performing it in front of a real audience because I don't get it as fluent as I'd like.

Is the effect overpriced? Well, that could be argued. It is not a move that should be performed by itself, in my opinion. So if what you're looking for is a quick, visual vanish for a quick moment of astonishment this will not be your best purchase. I think this move is perfect to be used as an ending of a longer routine, since it is so clean that will make your audience believe what you have done before. If you have a 5 or 10 minute one-coin routine and you want a kicker ending to it... This is it. It is worth the price, but only if you use it properly.

I agree that the teaching is great, and the overall DVD quality is awesome too, as always in t11. However, it is a knack move that will take a long time to master. But hey, that is what magic is all about, right?
