WGM Tenkai Pennies DVD (DVD622)

Imagine owning the most
comprehensive magic book ever written. This would surely be a treasured
possession for any magician with each chapter focusing on a single
aspect of the craft and the very best routines ever created for it.
That’s the idea behind L&L Publishing’s critically-acclaimed DVD
series, The World’s Greatest Magic by the World’s Greatest Magicians.
Each volume is like another chapter in the world’s best magic book.
Featuring in-depth exposition and instruction on some of magic’s most
cherished and classic effects by its most-talented practitioners, this
unprecedented series represents an essential reference work for anyone
interested in the magical arts, regardless of their skill level.

Of
the many varied plots in coin magic, the ones that seem to most
intrigue creators and performers the most involve coins that travel
invisibly from one hand to the other. In some tricks, the coins gather
and in others they completely transpose, but the basic effect involves
coins traveling invisibly through the air. Two of the most popular
variations of the plot are the fabled Tenkai Pennies, the creation of
Japanese magician Ishida Tenkai, and Millken’s Transposition, named
after its inventor, Harry Milliken.

On this DVD, you’ll find
four wonderful magicians who have each put their singular stamp on these
two great tricks. Daryl is up first with a basic, yet classic,
interpretation of the Tenkai Pennies while Steve Draun offers up his own
version using half-dollars rather than the traditional smaller coins.
Ross Bertram is next with a classic, to-the-letter performance of the
Tenkai Pennies, right down to the costuming, while David Roth follows
with a half-dollar version that also features some handling
simplifications for those new to coin manipulation. Next, David
demonstrates and teaches Milliken’s Transposition, a two-phase effect
where two pairs of dissimilar coins completely transpose between the
performer’s hands. Finally, Daryl brings his own spin to the Milliken’s
Transposition plot.

As a magician, you’ll be asked constantly to
“do something,” and mastering either the Tenkai Pennies or Millken’s
Transposition (or both!) offers an opportunity for you to always be
ready to perform an impromptu miracle.
