Unleash Surreal Visual Magic with 'Mary Poppin's Purse'
Rick Holcombe's 'Magic Video - Mary Poppin's Purse' is a digital download that invites you to master a truly impossible and hyper-visual opening piece. Inspired by Brent Braun's clever FPS Coin Wallet, this routine transforms a simple object into a gateway for surreal magic that will instantly capture your audience's attention. Please note, this offering is a video tutorial only; no physical props are included, allowing you to learn the secrets behind this incredible effect with materials you likely already possess or can easily acquire.
The Impossible Routine Unveiled
Imagine this: you display a small, unassuming leather coin wallet. Instead of coins, you reach in and impossibly extract a full-length Sharpie marker, an object seemingly too large to fit. But the astonishment doesn't end there. From the cap of that very Sharpie, a coin is magically produced, materializing from thin air. What follows is a rapid-fire sequence of magic: coins vanish and reappear, morphing before their eyes. The ultimate climax sees you recreate the coin simply by drawing it back into reality with the Sharpie, a moment of pure, impossible art that leaves a lasting impression. While inspired by a specific wallet, the principles taught can be adapted to other coin purses with minor modifications, offering flexibility for your performance style.
Versatility for Every Performer
'Mary Poppin's Purse' is more than just a trick; it's a versatile performance piece designed to elevate your magic. Its inherent visual shock and engaging narrative make it an ideal starting point for a one-coin routine, instantly hooking your spectators. Alternatively, it serves as a seamless transition into a longer, more complex multiple coin routine, setting a tone of wonder and impossibility from the outset. Rick Holcombe meticulously guides you through every detail, ensuring you gain the confidence and skill to perform this memorable sequence flawlessly. Elevate your close-up magic repertoire with an effect that truly defies logic and ignites the imagination.
Original Specs
This is a video tutorial only. No props are included.
This is a great little opening piece that has hyper-visual, surreal moments that will definitely catch peoples' attention!
The whole inspiration comes from Brent Braun's FPS Coin Wallet and it's unique design. The routine could be performed with other style coin purses with some minor modifications.
A small leather coin wallet is shown and instead of taking coins out, a full length Sharpie marker is extracted! If that wasn't impossible enough, a coin is then produced from the cap of the marker.
A quick series of disappearances, reappearances, and transformations take place until you finally just recreate the coin by drawing it back into reality with the marker.
This makes a great starting point for a one coin routine, or to transition into a longer, multiple coin routine.
