“Pendulum Hanging Coins I and II”
Two versions of the classic Hanging Coins plot with a twist! Rather than just hang four coins (yes, all four coins) with one hand, this magician hangs them with both, reinforcing the illusion that both hands are empty.

David Harkey – Ah-Ha!

I confess that I’ve never been much of a fan of David Harkey’s work. While there have been occasional flashes of quality in his ouevre, I must say that I have often had the impression that too frequently the weight of admittedly novel plots tends to collapse when constructed upon flimsy methodological groundwork.

T-REX by Ran Pink

“I really do like T-REX and have used it regularly over the last year. It is indeed excellent and extremely utilitarian. It is one of the smoothest and most efficient tears I’ve seen.” -Bob Cassidy

“It’s the single best Center Tear I’ve seen in 20 years. For Real!” -Jerome Finley

“T-REX is quite simply perfect. I’m now convinced a center tear can be fast and invisible whilst allowing you to see roughly 75% of the billet after just one tear. Please read that sentence again. This is the way we’ll all be doing center tears as of 2013. Fact!” -Colin McLeod

“Finding the way to the center has yielded many solutions, but only a few feel as natural and as smooth as Ran Pink’s T-REX.” -Patrick Redford
