"Cello is as clean live as performed in the trailer. Amazing!" - David Stone
"Visual and fooling! The ideal trick to perform in all conditions when you forget your deck of cards at home!" - Boris Wild
Once again Mickael Chatelain is offering a curious new experiment!
In less time than it takes to read this, you will be able to transform a your deck of cards, your pack of chewing gum, or your pack of cigarettes into a formidable magical prop!
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!
- Cello is VERY easy to do. You will want to 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.
