Effect

The Phantom Coin is a visual coin routine where three coins appear and disappear one at a time before all three reappear simultaneously. The effect is clean and direct, making it highly deceptive for audiences. The coins seem to vanish and materialize in the performer's hands without any obvious moves or sleights.

Full Details

Phantom Coin is part of the "Beast" project by Hoang Doan and Danny Goldsmith. The routine relies on slide-of-hand techniques, a signature style of Danny Goldsmith. The effect is taught alongside six other coin tricks in a two-and-a-half-hour instructional video. The project includes multiple variations, with both Hoang Doan and Danny Goldsmith demonstrating their preferred handling.

Who Should Consider the Trick

This trick is best suited for intermediate to advanced coin magicians. Beginners may find the techniques challenging, as they require familiarity with coin sleights. Those who already perform routines like Three Fly or Matrix will adapt more easily. Magicians who enjoy pure sleight-of-hand coin magic with strong visual impact will appreciate Phantom Coin.

Information on How Difficult It Is to Perform

Phantom Coin is not an easy trick to master. It requires practice to execute smoothly, particularly due to angle sensitivity. Danny Goldsmith addresses some of these angle issues in his variation, making his handling slightly more forgiving. The routine involves multiple vanishes and appearances, so consistent hand control is necessary.

What Magicians Say

David from Magic Orthodoxy describes Phantom Coin as "a really visual trick" with strong audience impact. He notes that while the effect is not beginner-friendly, intermediate magicians will find it rewarding. He also highlights the value of the "Beast" project, stating that the $29 price for two and a half hours of instruction is excellent.

David suggests that potential buyers preview the effects on Danny Goldsmith's website before purchasing to ensure the style matches their preferences. He emphasizes that Phantom Coin and the other routines in "Beast" are best suited for those who enjoy raw, sleight-heavy coin magic.
