• Stunning vanishes
• Inexplicable transformations
• Knockout routines
  

Russell is a very modest man and when I will run around screaming from the rooftops Russell plays it all down. He told me that this was “quite good”. Quite good is an understatement ….it is out of this world.

Russell had the gimmick and DVDs available for the first time at the IBM convention in Eastbourne and gave me a set and when I got home and watched the DVDs and played around with the gimmick I just had to have it to offer to my clients. This is something really special and I give it 12 out of 10 as it is stunning.

This revolutionary new gimmick will transform your magic with coins and other small objects. You can perform stunning vanishes, inexplicable transformations and knockout routines.

When I first watched the two DVDs that are supplied together with the special device and some special coins I just could not believe that this was not fake photography but it just isn’t.

The inventor, John Gray, turned up at Russell Hall’s magic shop and stood in front of Russell. He was not wearing a jacket or a long sleeved shirt but a T-shirt and item after item just vanished as if by magic. Russell told me that he did not have an idea of how these vanishes and changes were performed. Watch the You Tube video above and you will see what I mean.

Here is Russell’s own description of what it is all about: Until his retirement John Gray was a busy professional magician working top night clubs and cruises throughout Europe and the USA. So you would expect his material to be practical and commercial. John developed the original gimmick a few years ago for vanishing and switching small objects, especially coins. Now everything is clearly explained on two DVDs and the bits and pieces you need are supplied as well.

The Vortex Principle is based around a cunning and versatile device which is as useful as a Topit but you don’t have to wear a jacket, a tie, or a sleeved shirt. It will give you the edge you need with coins, finger rings, poker chips, keys, etc.

DVD 1: Begins with an incredible comprehensive introduction to the Vortex Principle. You'll see, filmed clearly and close up, amazing vanishes, transformations. You'll see coins visibly torn and pierced, keys bent, rings instantly jumping from hand to finger.

DVD 2: Coin Craft, shows in detail two complete routines, with a series of surprising and entertaining effects: The One-Coin Wonder and The Really Weird Coin Trick. These show the Vortex Principle in action. There are no ‘knuckle-busting’ moves, and many of the techniques required have been honed and adapted to suit modern working conditions.
