Effect: A
signed coin magically penetrates through a sealed can of
soda or beer. The can is opened, the contents poured out
and trapped inside is the initialed coin. The effect can
be performed anywhere, at anytime with no special props,
no switches, no gimmicks, and no setup. Both the coin
and the can may be borrowed. In fact, the spectator can
keep the can with their signed coin trapped inside.
From magician Wayne Houchin (Thread, Stigmata and
Control) and graphic artist Josh Funk comes
Sinful: A Graphic Novel. A striking new vision of
the celebrated Quarter Through Soda Can routine that
became one of the most talked about effects from the
first season of Criss Angel: Mindfreak.
Not just an instruction manual, Sinful offers the
reader the rare opportunity to peer into the creative
process behind this routine.
Set in a fictional nightclub called Hendricks, the novel
opens with a stylized re-imagining of a live performance
and then allows the reader the opportunity to learn the
full routine from Houchin's personal notebook. This one
of a kind learning experience offers a look at the
evolutionary process of creating - exploring other
moves, concepts and ideas that didn't make it into the
final handling.
New ideas and alternative moves are discussed and taught
in detail. Also included is a performance DVD that
features live performances and an interview with Wayne
Houchin conducted by Paul Harris.
Sinful: A Graphic Novel is for the magician
interested in learning a truly powerful piece of organic
magic and for the artist interested in the process of
creating, not just copying.
