Curtis Kam’s Palms of Steel 5: Pirates of the Rising Tide
Firing a shot across the bow of conventional coin magic, Curtis “Captain Morgan” Kam leads a crew of cutthroat coin effects in a broadside attack on the overworked classics. Join him as he rides the tide of bold new magic that shows no mercy and takes no prisoners. Coins Through the Table, Flurry, Hanging Coins, Copper/Silver Transpo, Coins Across-prepare to be boarded!
Laser Coins: Three coins vanish as they become suspended in a beam of light. When the light’s turned off, they fall from the sky. Finally, a new and compelling effect in coin magic. The edge grip technology used here is twenty years beyond what you’re doing now. Plus there’s a moment where you actually show the coins to the audience, but they just can’t see them. That will make you smile, which is good, because the rest of the moves will make you cry. Man up to the miracle, lads.
Standing Coins Thru Table: A swashbuckler’s handling that allows you to pull up broadside to a table and push three coins right through it. No gaffs, no wax, no extras, no counting or fooling around. Each penetration is better than the last and everything builds to a surprise ending.
Copper/Silver Flurry: Only a pirate would cross the Flurry, the classic one-coin routine from Davey Roth’s locker, with the copper/silver transposition. Now, instead of ending the Flurry like everyone else, you can end with a memorable miracle in the spectator’s hands.
Table Hopper’s Jumbo: Straight from the Captain’s working repertoire, a lesson in how and when to produce a jumbo coin, and more importantly, what to do with it once you have.
Table Hopper’s Trio: Mindless repetition walks the plank in this, the first routine to embrace the pirate’s love of anarchy. Free your coins from the tyranny of having to all do the same thing.
BONUS: International Silk & Silver (Reed McClintock) Who says pirates can’t be givers? A ruthless revision of Dai Vernon’s classic, and it’s yours just because we like the cut of your jib.
