Effect

The Beast Move is a coin magic technique that allows magicians to hide and reveal coins in their hands using sleight of hand. The effect includes multiple routines where coins visually vanish, appear, or penetrate objects like glasses. Some key performances include:

  • Coins traveling one by one into a glass tumbler.
  • Coins visually passing through a glass.
  • Coins appearing and disappearing with the help of a straw.
  • A striking "Coin Cannon" effect where a coin penetrates a glass.

The routines are designed to be visually engaging, with smooth and deceptive reveals.

Full Details

The Beast Move is taught in a two-and-a-half-hour instructional video by Hoang Doan and Danny Goldsmith. It includes:

  • The core Beast Move technique for hiding and revealing coins.
  • Seven different effects built around the move.
  • Two performance styles: Hoang Doan's original method and Danny Goldsmith's variation.
  • Detailed instruction on angle management and handling.

The effects covered are:

  • Coins to Glass (two versions).
  • Coins Through Glass (two variations).
  • Metal Bending (a straw-based routine).
  • Phantom Coin (visual appearance and disappearance of coins).
  • Coin Cannon (a coin penetrating a glass).
  • The Beast Move (the foundational sleight).
  • Danny’s Variation (his personal take on the move).

    • Who Should Consider the Trick

    This is not for beginners. Magicians with experience in coin magic, especially those familiar with routines like Three Fly or Matrix, will find it easier to learn. Those who enjoy pure sleight-of-hand coin magic with strong visual impact will appreciate the techniques.

    Difficulty

    The Beast Move requires practice. Some effects have angle limitations, though Danny Goldsmith provides solutions to minimize exposure. The techniques are intermediate to advanced, making them challenging for newcomers to coin magic.

    What Magicians Say

    David from Magic Orthodoxy, a card magician who occasionally performs coin magic, praised the project:

    • "Absolutely beautiful effects... just pure raw coin magic with beautiful presentations."
    • "Two and a half hours for $29 is pretty inexpensive for the amount of content."
    • "Not easy... it definitely will require some practice."

    He also noted that previews of all seven effects are available on Danny Goldsmith’s website, allowing potential buyers to assess the style before purchasing.

    For those interested in advanced coin magic with strong visual impact, The Beast Move offers a solid set of techniques and routines.
