As interesting as the video makes this illusion appear, it was a waste of my money: I thought I was buying a "close-up" magic trick, but in reality, viewers should be at least 4 or 5 feet away when performing this. You NEVER know when you are being deceived by video photography and you definitely are when you watch the sales video for this item. Be advised that the video does not show you a full demonstration of the routine so you are oblivious to the slight of hand that is required to make the little skillet "capable" of turning the metal ball "into" a coin. If the video was shot using sharp, normal contrast, you would see that the skillet's appearance changes after you show the skillet for examination and before you use the hammer on it..unless you do not have a close, clear view of the skillet. Also, because of the small size of the skillets base it is almost impossible to be able to hit the skillet with any force using the hammer, you really sort of have to line the hammer up and slowly move it down into the skillet. This detracts from the effect, because, after the spectator examines the metal ball they will realize that it should take some force to "squish" it into a flat metal coin. Lastly, it does not come with coins. For a cost of $55 it should have.
