Description & Effect
Discover Ouroboros: The Art of Cyclical Magic
'Ouroboros' by Travis Askew isn't just a magic video; it's a profound journey into the art of seamless, cyclical illusion. Named after the ancient symbol of connection, this digital download unveils a unique approach to coin and ring magic where every routine is designed to begin and end in the exact same position. This ingenious structure ensures you're always ready for an instant encore, making these effects perfect for repeated performances in any setting. Prepare to be fooled, just like the experts, by moves so clean they defy explanation. Kyle Purnell praises it, stating anyone 'who takes the time to learn from this project will improve their sleight repertoire tenfold.' Cash Wallace, not typically a coin magician, confesses, 'this is something I will perform.' Myles Thornton highlights 'Temporal!' as his favorite routine.
The Essence of Instant Reset Perfection
What truly sets 'Ouroboros' apart is its foundational principle: every move, every transition, and every reveal brings your hands and props back to their original state. This isn't just a convenience; it's a performance superpower. Imagine effortlessly repeating an astonishing coin production or a ring vanish without any fumbling or reset time. These are true 'workers' – routines honed over seven years by Travis Askew, built for maximum impact and minimal fuss. They're designed for the modern magician on the go, requiring only an everyday coin and a finger ring, making them perfect for your EDC (Everyday Carry) magic repertoire.
Master Powerful Routines
Within this comprehensive digital download, you'll master three powerful routines:
- Protean: Witness a breathtaking shapeshifting illusion where metal appears to manipulate impossibly with a mere touch, or even no touch at all. It's a series of eye-popping moments that will leave your audience bewildered.
- Ouroboros (the routine): A magnificent display of space-warping and reality-bending. Did the coin emerge from the ring, or the ring from the coin? Or perhaps both? This routine blurs the lines of perception, creating genuine astonishment.
- Temporal: Far from a standard 'coin across' effect, 'Temporal' is quick, stunning, and features a visually arresting moment where your spectators will literally see time travel backward before their eyes, making coins vanish and reappear with impossible speed.

Travis Askew ensures your learning curve is as smooth as his routines. 'Ouroboros' utilizes the innovative DAVE system – a comprehensive learning platform that combines detailed book-like instructions, clear photographic sequences, and high-quality video walkthroughs. This multi-faceted approach guarantees you'll grasp the nuances and subtleties faster than ever, allowing you to perfect these routines with confidence and precision.
