The Blurb
Always know the outcome of a coin toss. No peeking, no magnets, no electronics.
Coins have always been synonymous with magic, and now mentalists can get in on the action too. HOT is an inexplicable, multi-phase, close-up mind reading routine by the man who brought you the Billet Masterclass, Alexander Marsh.
Here’s what’s happens:
You unveil a sleek and stylish decision-making coin adorned with a Head on one side and a Heart on the other. Your participant flips the coin in the air, catches it and glimpses what it lands on. Despite never seeing the outcome of the toss, you accurately reveal how it landed.
Impressive. But it could be luck. So you flawlessly divine the outcome again and again.
(You can repeat this as many times as you’d like and never fail!)
For the final phase, the coin is put away as you confidently write a prediction. Your participant merely imagines flipping the coin in their mind. In an impressive finale, amidst the realm of imagination, your powers triumphantly prove accurate once more!
Everything you need to perform this impossible feat will arrive snugly packaged in a stylish box. You’ll receive online video instructions guiding you through the simple sleights and handlings necessary to make HOT your newest reputation maker.
HOT transcends performance settings, seamlessly captivating audiences both up close and on stage. In fact, it earned itself a place in Alex’s 2023 stage act which was performed all over the world.
“Which Hand” has been done to death.
Alexander Marsh has the antidote.
Time to play Heads or Tails.
NOTE: After the release of HOT it came to our attention that a similar method was released by Colin McLeod in his Psycho download from 2020. HOT remains available to purchase with Colin’s kind permission.
Jheff's Guide
[NOTE: This is a revised version of my comments since a newer version was released. As you’ll see below, I had issues with the original quarter size version, but have a completely different, and more positive, opinion of the half-dollar size version.]
WHAT IT IS:
Specially made coin set with routine(s) included
HOW ACCURATE OR COMPLETE THE AD COPY IS:
It’s accurate enough.
SET-UP AND RE-SET:
There is some slight pocket management involved for the set-up, but the re-set, depending upon your routine and handling, takes a second or two, if that.
WHAT’S NOT INCLUDED THAT YOU NEED OR NEED TO KNOW:
This is definitely not self-working, though the moves taught are basic coin sleights. If you don’t know them, you will definitely need to practice them, unless you’re already good with coin magic or advanced billet techniques. Also, H.O.T. is an acronym for “Heads or Tails.” Alexander uses this frame instead of the popular “which hand” presentation.
SUITABLE VENUES:
Close-up, Parlour, Stage, Walkaround
JHEFF’S JUDGMENT:
There is nothing new in terms of plot or principles, but this is a solidly built multi-phase routine that works well. The design of the quarter size coins is too busy and too small to be effective and can’t be recommended. However, the re-designed half-dollar size coins, released a few months later than the quarter-sized coins, simplify the design and also make it easier to see and read the symbols and words on it. I can now happily recommend this larger version to those wanting a strong non-high tech coin routine that is suitable for most any venue and that will never fail (and I think you know what I mean).
