Echo (Gimmicks and Online Instructions) by Curtis Kam

Visual. Audible. Tactile. Inconceivable.

Echo is a professional performance piece that Curtis Kam has featured in his close up, parlor, and stand up shows in Hawaii, at the Magic Castle, and at magic conventions all over the world. Purpose-built to make every moment crystal clear and engaging, Echo draws amazing responses from the onstage participant, and then from the crowd.

Someone from the audience inspects five coins, each a different color, shape, or size.

Four vanish one at a time and appear in your pocket with a loud “clink”.

The first one vanishes from the glass they’re holding.

They make the second one go themselves.

The third to vanish is their choice, which they do not reveal until after it lands in your pocket.

The fourth one vanishes from your fingertips at the spectator’s command. This moment has sent people screaming from the stage.

The last coin is signed. In fact, all of the coins could be, since the coins that arrive in your pocket are the exact same coins the spectator examined.

Incredibly commercial. Fits in your pocket, but plays to a large room. The participant on stage is fully engaged, and controls most of the action. The routine cancels all possible explanations as you go, leading up to the impossible flight of the signed coin. Plus, it’s fun. Coins flying into your pants is always fun.

You know what’s not fun? Special clothing, complicated devices, things that wear out, need replacing, or might break. Echo has none of that stuff. Just simple intermediate sleight of hand, and one classic gaff.

Perfect for close up, walk around, stand up and stage.
