Full Details

Emergence is an electronic-mechanical device hidden inside a card box. It includes:

  • A remote control for triggering the effect.
  • A USB charging cable (battery lasts for hundreds of performances).
  • A template to customize the card box for different decks.

The device works with coins up to half-dollar size but requires manual adjustments for distance and coin size. It is not examinable, and there is a slight noise during operation. The package does not include coins.

Who Should Consider the Trick

This trick is best for magicians who perform in controlled environments like stage shows, parlors, or cabaret settings. It is not ideal for impromptu or close-up table hopping due to setup requirements. Performers who want a clean, technology-assisted coin effect without relying on sleight of hand will find it useful.

Information on How Difficult It Is to Perform

The trick is rated as moderately easy to perform, with a difficulty score of 2 out of 4 by AlexisReviews. The main challenge is adjusting the device for different coin sizes and distances. The tutorial focuses on mechanics rather than routining, so performers must develop their own presentations.

What Magicians Say

  • AlexisReviews calls it a "strong but pricey investment," praising its reliability but noting the $200 price may deter some buyers.
  • RealMagicReview highlights its versatility, saying it works well in parlor or stage settings and is "good value for the quality."
  • Sebastian Toca rates it 8/10, noting it requires practice but delivers a highly fooling effect when executed well.
  • Vanishing Inc. emphasizes its long development (5 years, 80 prototypes) and calls it a "miracle-level" effect with a one-year warranty.

The consensus is that Emergence is a powerful, well-built device best suited for performers who can invest time in setup and adjustments. The price and noise factor are the main drawbacks, but the effect itself is highly deceptive.

What people are saying about Emergence

Hill presents 'Emergence' as a tool to realize magical dreams, offering a unique and impactful addition to any coin magic routine.

RealMagicReview says...

Steve highlights how reliable the trick is, working flawlessly in his tests. [...] While the device produces a slight noise when armed and needs careful handling to stay hidden, Steve believes the $172 price tag is justified by the trick's quality and versatility.

Sebastian gives Emergence an 8 out of 10. He believes it's a worthwhile purchase for magicians who perform coin and glass routines in controlled settings and are willing to invest the time in practice.

VanishingIncMagic says...

Hill’s philosophy centers around the idea that advanced technology in magic should be so seamlessly integrated that it remains undetectable to the audience, echoing Arthur C. Clarke’s famous quote: 'Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.'
