Magic Video - Jim Coles - Under Cover

Unleash an Impossible Penetration

Imagine the disbelief on your spectator's face as a simple, signed quarter performs an impossible feat right before their eyes. With Jim Coles' 'Under Cover,' you're about to master a baffling coin penetration effect that will leave an indelible mark on their memory. Picture this: a spectator signs a borrowed quarter. You place it squarely on top of an ordinary, unopened pack of cigarettes. With their hand covering the coin, they anticipate its magical disappearance, perhaps even its passage through the pack. But the coin remains, stubbornly present. Yet, when they try to pick it up, their fingers slide right over the coin's surface. To their utter astonishment, the signed quarter has impossibly, miraculously, penetrated *under* the pristine cellophane of the unopened pack! The pack is clearly sealed, unmarked, a solid barrier that the coin simply should not have breached. They open the pack themselves, retrieve their signed coin, and search in vain for an explanation. This is the raw, visceral magic of 'Under Cover.'
