Kungfu Coin by Bluether Magic and Raphael ( Instant Download )
Magic, this ancient and profound art, has a wide variety of forms of expression. From the delicate close-up magic to the spectacular stage performances, each one emits a unique charm. In close-up magic, magicians are good at using daily items like playing cards, coins, and Rubik’s Cubes to create magical miracles that amaze the audience.
Among them, coin magic has always been famous for its strong visual manipulation sense, but it often gives people a sense of being difficult to master and out of reach. Many people think that coin magic has more limitations, is too difficult, and the practical performance routines are relatively limited. Precisely because of this, the emergence of various coin magic props has greatly reduced the difficulty for magicians.
As the saying goes, “Sharp tools make good work.” In the world of coin magic, all kinds of coin props are exactly the “tools” here. From the Coin Shell invented by J.N Hofzinser in 1847 to the Flipper Coin invented by Eddy Taytelbaum and Flip Postma 70 years ago, they have become the best tools for coin magicians.
With the appearance of more and more “tools”, magicians began to pursue visual coin effects, such as coins instantly turning into rings. And among them, the slow penetration effect is probably the most puzzling. When an object slowly merges into and penetrates another, this scene will subvert any audience’s common sense of physics and make it unforgettable for them for a lifetime. Luciano Chun, Craftman of Raphael Gaffs, has such a visual coin effect that even Tobias Dostal, the god of creative magic, and Rubi, the talented Spanish coin magician, said: “This is the f***ing coolest coin magic they’ve ever seen.”
In fact, many friends already know about it, so let’s not keep you in suspense and get straight to the point! Actually, about five years ago, inspired by Joel Givens’ works, Luciano Chun first posted a performance clip of the Kongfu Coin on Instagram.
This post immediately attracted widespread attention and inquiries from friends all over the world. However, Luciano Chun himself still thought that this version hadn’t reached perfection and wasn’t good enough for sale. It still lacked something and couldn’t display the integrity of the coin well. It still needed big movements to cover up small ones, which greatly weakened the effect itself.
