Mira Metal

Type: Close-up, Walk around

Skill Level:

Retail Price: $15

Effect: A piece of sheet metal is placed into an open holder. The holder is covered and a quarter falls out of the bottom of the holder into a spectator's open hand. The holder is opened again and there is a hole punched through the center of the sheet metal. After the effect, everything may be handed out for examination.

Performance Time: About 1-2 minutes

Reset Time: 30 seconds or less

Angles:

Quality: Typical of most Tenyo products this is clever and extremely well made. The gaff however, out of necessity, is very fragile.

Dr. Mitch: This is clean and easy to do. If you couple this trick with a story about the minting process, you have a powerful trick. My only complaint is that it reaches the climax too quickly. Throw it in your close-up case and pull it out on occasion. It is a strong effect.

Mike Maione: I say don't bother taking up space in your case with this one. First, it's fragile. I carried mine in my case for couple of months in the original package before I finally sat down and read through the instructions. In that time, the thin metal shell which creates the illusion became bent rendering the trick worthless. I don't think it all that strong either. Save your money.
