I have seen Michael Rubinstein perform his Conviction Prediction a few times for magicians and he was able to fool them. This is a vastly updated and improved version of what was published in his book. The structure is very interesting. It’s a mentalism/coincidence effect that does not become apparent until the end. It also uses one sleight instead of gimmicks, which allows everything to be examined at the end.

►Conviction Prediction:

This is a mentalism/coincidence routine using coins and Poker chips.

You begin by displaying three Poker chips and letting three friends select one for themselves. You then show them four small envelopes containing four different coins and they select one of those as well. Throughout the process you give them a chance to change their mind because they are all free choices.

The envelopes are now opened revealing the different coins that were inside. You then reveal the surprise ending.

Even though they had every opportunity to switch chips and envelopes… when the chips are turned over, you show that they have permanent photographs of the matching selected coins embedded in them. Everything is now examinable.

►BACK IN STOCK:

When delivering his new routine Michael also delivered more autographed copies of his best-selling book and a few more of his Migrate.

►Rubinstein Coin Magic:

ALL OUR COPIES AUTOGRAPHED!

Dr. Michael Rubinstein has had a lifelong passion for magic with coins. Over his lifetime he has earned a reputation as being one of a handful of Coin Magic Experts. He has offered hundreds of techniques and routines in books, magazines and on video.

As he was working on his legacy project, he selected what he felt were the best of his routines and techniques and added many new routines and improvements for most others. You will find work on just about every known coin plot and some that you have never heard of. Most of the magic uses sleight-of-hand although there are sections on gaffs, chips, coins with cards and even some coin mentalism!

►Migrate:

It is a comedic, coins across, routine that is full of puns and new techniques.

Although it does not use any gaffs it does use some unique, attention getting, and funny props. Unlike most coins across routines that last less than a minute this is designed as a three-minute showpiece that is themed around bears!

Watching the trailer will give you an idea of the routine and the built-in comedy.

►LATEST RELEASE:

►Brain Bogglers:

For many years Meir Yedid has been opening his stage, parlor, and formal close-up shows with a series of three optical illusions/brain twisters where he explains how magic works. The premise is that we tell you the truth, but your brain lies to you.

The three optical illusions/brain twisters are the standard Word Skipping Illusion, Cornsweet Illusion, and Thatcher illusion, although they have been modified to optimize the live presentations and make them more interesting.
