Effect
Silver Finger by Matthieu Hamaissi is a visually striking coin routine where three coins appear to vanish when thrown into the air and then mysteriously return to the performer’s hands. The effect can be performed in two ways: as a series of vanishes ("coin finger") or as a sequence where coins seem to rain down into the hand. The routine is fast-paced and elegant, creating a strong visual impact for audiences.
Full Details
The routine consists of eight distinct stages, allowing performers to mix and match elements for customization. The tutorial is brief, running under eight minutes, and is presented as an over-the-shoulder shot with dubbed voiceover. The instruction focuses on demonstrating the moves rather than providing in-depth explanations or historical context. The routine requires familiarity with coin magic techniques such as palming and sleight of hand.
Who Should Consider the Trick
Silver Finger is best suited for intermediate to advanced coin magicians. Beginners may find the tutorial too brief and lacking detailed guidance. Performers looking for a visually impressive addition to their coin routines will benefit from this effect. Those who enjoy fast-paced, sleight-heavy magic will appreciate the routine’s structure.
Information on How Difficult It Is to Perform
The routine requires proficiency in coin handling, including palming and vanishes. The tutorial moves quickly, so performers must be comfortable learning from concise demonstrations. Reviewer David from Magic Orthodoxy notes that the routine feels like watching a magician perform and then being expected to replicate it quickly. Some angle sensitivity exists, but it is manageable for experienced performers.
What Magicians Say
David describes Silver Finger as "absolutely beautiful" and praises its visual impact, stating that "when you watch the coins go up and they just vanish Into Thin Air, it's stunning." However, he critiques the tutorial’s brevity, saying it "does not feel like somebody who stopped taught you... it looks and feels like you're standing next to them and they're showing you the trick." He also mentions the $22 price point as slightly high for the short tutorial length. Despite this, he acknowledges the routine’s potential for integration into other coin magic performances.
What people are saying about Silver Finger
magicorthodoxy says...
Silver Finger is a beautiful routine when you watch the coins go up and they just vanish Into Thin Air, it's stunning. [...] The entire tutorial is less than eight minutes, so even in my review I can't do an 8-minute review about an 8-minute video, I just can't.
