  • I have been doing the first two phases of this routine for almost fifty years now. I was lucky to have had some great sessions with David Roth when he was running the magic shop at Circus Circus in Las Vegas in the early seventies and got to see David do his version of the Sachs routine with coins. Dean Dill taught me the third phase of this routine in the early nineties.

    I saw someone do the two-card matrix routine at the TAOM back in 1971. I am not sure who to credit? If anyone knows where this phase of the routine first appeared in print, please comment below.

    You actually taught me something that has nothing to do with the routine... its the mirror set up and close up pad.. what a great way to practice and see what the people see.

      Yes -- the practice mirror is a great tool. 👍👍👍

    David Roth was magic!! His close up magic was special. We shared a birthday so I could not believe it when he passed away in 2021. You were fortunate to have met him and witnessed his amazing talent closeup😉

      One amazing magician and a super nice guy. He worked at Magic Mansion at Circus Circus here in Las Vegas for a couple of years in the early 1970's.👍

    This is my favorite performance of Shadow coins I've seen. I'm curious where the instant matrix (all 4 coins at once) idea originated.

      @allanackerman4848 If I were to perform ANY "backfire" matrix routines. It would be this one. I already do the Ammar version, but this just takes it to the limit. Keep up the great work!

      @@allanackerman4848 So after almost 2 weeks, I'm doing your sequences here. Honestly, I'm a bit bummed out, because I'm 75% of the way there (sequence, not patter) and am missing a few subtleties. I'm afraid to give anything away here, so if you're open to it, I'd love to PM you or chat about it. If not, I totally understand. I want to do it justice and perform it for laymen :)

  • @mikuel25
    @mikuel25 Před 2 lety +1

    I'm curious why you don't credit to Michael Amar? That is where I learned it.

    • @allanackerman4848
      @allanackerman4848  Před 2 lety +1

      Michael - the first part of the routine is what I saw David Roth do -- probably in 1972, it might have been 1973, the two years he was in Vegas running the magic shop at Circus Circus Hotel and Casino. It was not until the early nineties I saw Michael do the routine. He added some beautiful moments to the effect, e.g., it looked like your hands never came close to the coins. It felt like your hands were about 6 inches above the ground. But when you add something, sometimes you lose something - you now had to have the audience view looking downward. So, I never did use that approach. But yes -- Amar's version is more magical looking -- and he is the one that made the effect famous. So, thank you for your comment -- I should have mentioned Amar.

    Where to learn these

    • @allanackerman4848
      @allanackerman4848  Před 9 měsíci

      It is in the first issue of Apocalypse. You can search for it on CZcams and I think will find a few versions with explanations. The first part using the two cards is in Stars of Magic.
