Emergence by Tim Hill - Magic Review

This video offers a detailed and honest review of 'Emergence' by Tim Hill, a coin and glass effect published by Vanishing Inc. Sebastian, the creator, aims to help magicians make informed purchasing decisions by providing insights into the product's strengths and weaknesses. 'Emergence' presents a unique coin and glass routine, starting with a vanish and culminating in a striking moment where the coin seemingly disappears into the glass while the performer steps back. The package includes a beautifully designed box, a remote control, the main utility device, a USB charging cable, and a template for a custom card box gimmick – though coins are not included. Sebastian delves into the technical aspects, highlighting considerations like coin size, distance adjustment (which requires fixed adjustments), potential audible noise, and the need for a custom card box. He notes that the device is best suited for controlled environments like parlor shows or stage performances, cautioning against casual settings due to setup requirements. While praising the craftsmanship and fooling nature of the effect, he points out limitations like the need for manual adjustments and the lack of detailed routining instruction. Ultimately, Sebastian gives 'Emergence' an 8 out of 10, recommending it for magicians willing to invest time in practice for controlled performances.
