Cello Gimmick & DVD by Mickael Chatelain (DVD717)

 
Borrow a single coin from a spectator.

From your pocket, take out your pack of chewing gum or cigarettes. Show it from all sides. There’s nothing to see.

Show clearly that your pack is enclosed all around by cellophane.

Bring the spectator’s coin up against the pack and rub it slowly
against the cellophane. In a few seconds, you take your hands away and
your spectators will notice that the coin has penetrated the cellophane!

Illusion or not?

Pull back the cellophane just a bit and your
spectators will see that the penetrations is real — the coin is really
trapped in the cellophane! In order to free the coin, you or your
spectator will have to pull the cellophane all the way back.

Illusion or not?

Immediately hand out everything to your spectator for close examination.

The
cellophane is absolutely ordinary, as is the coin. No openings or
trickery. The coin, of course, can be examined. Remember you can borrow
it.

How is it possible that in full view a single coin could pass
through an ordinary cellophane wrap? Your spectators will be wondering
for a long time!

You should remember the following:

– Cello is really easy to do. You will doubtless carry it with you at all times.

– The coin is on the other side of the cellophane in a fraction of a second with no manipulation.

– Choose your own presentation – with a card case, pack of cigarettes or chewing gum.

– Hand everything out for examination right away, as the workings are completely undetectable.

– The effect is extremely convincing as nothing is hidden from the
spectator. You bring a coin up to the cellophane and it penetrates. It’s
as simple as that.

On the DVD accompanying the trick, Mickael explains everything
you need to know about the method, the choice of the coin, of the pack
to use and the ideal performance venue. He discusses whether or not to
have the coin signed… in short, nothing is left out.
