That feeling on Christmas morning when you see something bright, shiny and new all wrapped up, and can only wonder at what might be locked inside… that’s the feeling I had when I received Chinese Tweezers in store!
The brainchild of Mario Lopez, and released by Tango Magic, this is an ultra-visual routine allowing you to create the illusion of reaching through the center hole of a Chinese coin with tweezers, and pulling out a full sized American Silver dollar. Not just once mind you… three times in a row! While not a new creation from Lopez, the latest addition of vanishing the tweezers for the conclusion rounds out the effect nicely.
The trailer for this left many wondering pre-release what amazing gimmick this could be. Tango Magic is renowned for their attention to detail and high quality trick coins. This however is a little different.
What you receive is three regular Silver Dollars, a replica Chinese coin, and cosmetic tweezers. Along with this is a password protected link with comprehensive instructions for the full routine.
This has left many scratching their heads as to where the value is in this product (not a relatively cheap one at that), but those in the trenches will instantly understand. This is a fully formed sleight of hand routine that is not only visually startling, but also extremely commercial.
This will take some work (all good things should), but out of the box you have everything required to create an extremely impressive few minutes of astonishment for your audience.
If you’re a worker… this is excellent value. If you’re a hobbyist looking for the latest toy, this might not be for you.
