Beast by Hang and Danny Goldsmith

Effect

The trick called Beast features multiple coin magic routines. The effects include coins passing through glass, appearing and vanishing in unexpected ways, and jumbo coin productions. One routine shows coins moving through a glass in different positions. Another makes coins appear and disappear without using a glass. A third routine involves coins appearing one by one on a table. The final effect is a large coin production.

Full details

Beast teaches several coin magic routines based on two main techniques. The first is a grip and palm method. The second is a pass that moves the coin in a unique way. The download includes two versions of the technique. One is a variation by Danny Goldsmith, which is described as easier and less angle-sensitive. The other is a version by Hang, which is more angle-sensitive but works well for social media.

The routines include:

• A one-coin through glass effect with built-in misdirection.
• A three-coin sequence where coins pass through a glass in different positions.
• A glassless routine where coins appear and vanish in a surprising way.
• A table routine where coins appear one by one.
• A jumbo coin production.
• A separate coin through glass routine by Danny Goldsmith.

Some routines require gimmicks, but others can be performed without them.

Who should consider the trick

Beast is ideal for magicians who enjoy coin magic and want to expand their repertoire with visually strong effects. It suits performers who work in social settings or create content for social media. Those who like technical coin moves will appreciate the grip and pass techniques. Beginners may find Danny's variation more accessible, while advanced performers can explore Hang's version.

Information on how difficult it is to perform

The difficulty varies depending on the routine. The basic techniques require practice, but Steve mentions that they start to feel natural after some time. Hang's version is more angle-sensitive, making it better for controlled environments like video performances. Danny's variation is described as easier and more forgiving for live performances. Some routines, like the glassless vanish, are particularly deceptive but may take longer to master.
