Danny Goldsmith's 'Optical' digital download offers a profound exploration into the art of coin magic, meticulously blending highly visual vanishes with the scientific principles of human perception. This project is more than just a collection of tricks; it's a masterclass in understanding how the brain processes visual information, giving you an unparalleled advantage in creating truly impossible moments. Danny's renowned teaching style shines through, providing not only clear, in-depth instruction but also infusing lessons that apply to the broader art of magic and life itself, motivating you to practice with purpose and precision.
Unveiling Three Impossible Vanishes
Within 'Optical,' you'll learn three distinct and incredibly deceptive coin vanishes, each designed to leave your audience bewildered. First, the 'Flip Flop Vanish' presents a casual toss vanish that appears as though the coin is genuinely thrown into your hand, only to disappear. You'll explore two variations of this surprisingly simple yet visually powerful move, making it accessible for magicians of all skill levels. Next, the 'Ember Vanish' offers one of the most visual coin vanishes you'll ever encounter. Performed from the magician's unique point of view, spectators looking over your shoulder will swear they see the coin firmly in your grasp just before it vanishes into thin air.
Mastering the DG Vanish
The project also delves into Danny's signature 'DG Vanish,' a retention vanish taught with unprecedented precision and detail. Drawing from years of close work with his students, Danny has refined his teaching methodology, introducing new drills and exercises specifically designed to help you achieve mastery. Even if you've encountered this move in previous works, these supplemental exercises are guaranteed to be an invaluable resource, ensuring your DG retention is as clean, visual, and deceptive as humanly possible.
Manipulating Light: The Neurological Edge
Perhaps the most revolutionary aspect of 'Optical' is the deep dive into 'Manipulating Light.' Danny breaks down the specific neurological principle that causes a spectator's brain to perceive a coin between your fingers even after it has already left your hand. Understanding how to exploit this 'glitch' in visual processing grants magicians a true superpower. Danny provides multiple exercises and drills to fast-track your progress in mastering this technique, teaching you how to apply this profound principle to your existing routines, making all your magic more deceptive, visual, and utterly inexplicable. This project empowers you to simplify your practice routines and develop your dexterity quicker and with greater proficiency, ultimately transforming your coin magic into something truly extraordinary.
