My post is in no way intended to cast him in a bad light - if anything, I commend him for his sensitivity to the problem and obvious misunderstanding among the posters here on the Café. Paul Vigil's excellent reputation with me remains better than intact, if that's possible.

You should also know that Paul Vigil is a gentleman, who in under 15 minutes flat, refunded my purchase money when I explained the situation via email.

I think anyone reading this thread should know this. The posters somehow got and left the impression that the video was a 'demo' of the first phase, which is incorrect. Paul Vigil never claimed the video to be a 'demo' of anything. The video is not a 'demo' of the first phase, and is nothing like it. You can actually see the first two phases of this routine on the demo. I never saw the bend coming and now neither will my audience!” “The thinking that Paul Vigil puts into his magic is second to none. From the initial staging and motivation of the routine to the final revelation of the bent coin this piece is a real work-horse and one that I will be using. “A multi-phase routine that not only builds upon itself, but simultaneously closes all the doors to a possible methodology while effectively sealing many of the gaping holes normally left behind in the psychology and motivation for such an effect. “Paul Vigil’s ICON is based on an effect I have used for years, but his ideas and additions have turned it into a truly masterful mental routine.” Lastly, another assisting spectator attempts to touch the coin, but he is unable to- affirming the truth of its agitated energy state. Next an isolated coin, chosen by the spectator’s game of chance, is seen to warp - without cover - at the tips of the performer’s fingers in front of her very eyes. Paul told me about this ages ago, it is KILLER!!! Can't recommend this enough!!!Ī three phase coin mentalism routine which begins with a prediction concerning some pocket change and a spectator’s future actions this is then shown to be correct. Ah Paul Vigil, got to love the guys thinking!
