The suspense continues, as we delve into my V-Glass routine.
I have to tell you I’ve been closing my show with a series of suspension effects, knives, rice jar, and Dagger of Damocles and it’s been just wonderful. Strong enough to end an hour long show!
It proves what I’ve been saying, that suspension effects transcend the usual and impact an audience on a very different level. And EVERYONE gets the effect IMMEDIATELY.
V-Glass is an apparently impromptu suspension of a glass on the end of a spoon, based on an idea of Douglas Francis. And a little homemade gimmick that actually never worked ( I’ll explain why) but that I was able to improve upon.. (yes I’ll explain!)
All you have to do is carry this little gimmick around with you, and you have a miracle available at your fingertips at any time.
The V-Glass is the perfect example of creating impact by defying the laws of gravity in a casual environment. Don’t get me wrong, this works great in a show, but dropped at the right moment, at the right place, you will have a lovely piece of instant visual magic.
See you in the inside!

Don’t be deceived by how simple this is, mouth coils are actually quite magical to lay people!
