The Dance

The Dance is a simple, no-frills plot: Coins jump around, from one hand to the other in the cleanest and most surprising of manners. Each move can be performed independently for a squeaky clean, quick hit trick, or elegantly stacked.

Tumbling Muscle Click Pass

Picking up on the work of masters Shoot Ogawa and Akira Fuji, Brian has added a retention of vision element to the basic muscle click pass, creating a devastatingly convincing illusion. You'll learn how to perform this with half dollars, Morgan dollars, quarters, or even borrowed rings and keys. As a bonus, you'll learn how to pass up to three coins at once, making for an instant three coins across.

A variation of the Tumbling Muscle Click Pass that employs retention of vision with a more casual tossing motion.
