Angle Z

Effect

The Angle Z trick creates a visually striking and engaging experience for the audience. A coin is placed in the spectator's hand and covered with a purse. While the spectator ensures the coin remains untouched, a card is selected from a deck. A corner of the selected card is removed, and when the purse is lifted, the coin has vanished. In its place, the matching piece of the card appears. The effect is smooth and leaves a strong impression on the audience.

Full details

Angle Z combines two techniques: 'Apparition' and 'Angle Z.' The routine begins with a coin placed in the spectator's hand and covered by a purse. A card is selected from a deck, and a corner of that card is removed. When the purse is lifted, the coin disappears, and the card piece is revealed in its place. The trick relies on the seamless integration of these two methods to create a unique and surprising effect.

Who should consider the trick

Angle Z is ideal for magicians who are already familiar with the 'Apparition' and 'Angle Z' techniques. It is best suited for performers looking to add a visually striking and engaging routine to their repertoire. Beginners may find the trick challenging due to the need for prior knowledge of both methods.

Information on how difficult it is to perform

The difficulty of Angle Z depends on the performer's familiarity with the 'Apparition' and 'Angle Z' techniques. For those who already know these methods, the trick can be performed smoothly. However, beginners may need to invest time in learning the foundational techniques before attempting this routine.
