Paul Vigi's ICON
I'm going to abandon my usual advertising hype for a moment. This effect just doesn't need it. It is simply magic dynamite from Paul Vigil, creator of Diplopia and Ladybug.
This is real world mentalism straight from the repertoire of a professional performer.* This was Paul's opener recently at the Magic Castle and anyone who was there to witness it will tell you that it absolutely FLOORED everyone, magicians and laypeople alike.
It's a prediction effect with one heck of a kicker.

NO COVER whatsoever
Lance Burton called Paul Vigil, 'One of the best magicians working today'
This is the ICON coin bend, Paul's signature effect.
This. Kicks. Tail. Paul Vigil is a constant student of the art, but a MASTERFUL performer. He truly UNDERSTANDS magic, and how to make magic.
While extremely simple (which makes it attainable for virtually any performer), ICON is a great example of routining.'
- Sean Fields
The thinking that Paul Vigil puts into his magic is second to none. I never saw the bend coming and now neither will my audience!
Morgan Strebler
A multi-phase routine that not only builds upon itself, but simultaneously closes all the doors to a possible methodology while effectively sealing many of the gaping holes normally left behind in the psychology and motivation for such an effect.
From the initial staging and motivation of the routine to the final revelation of the bent coin; this piece is a real work-horse and one that I will be using.'
Jerome Finley
ICON is a seemingly impromptu effect that requires no difficult sleight of hand. Instead it combines proven, deceptive principles with masterful routining to create a miracle that anyone can do. Only one secret item is required to perform the effect and it can be had for under $10 (you may already have one lying around).
ICON is 30 pages of some of the best thinking in magic. As with Paul's previous work, the ICON manuscript is loaded with inspiring quotations and magical theory that you're bound to find useful in many aspects of your work in mentalism. Also included is some extensive research into an age old magic principle that I'm sure you'll find fascinating. It's truly a great read.
BONUS: The ICON manuscript includes an optional ending that owners of Meiska's electric touch will find to be worth the price of the manuscript. It will turn that little $150 prop into something worth 10 times as much.
*ICON has previously been shared with only a select few and I know for a fact that Paul was literally BEGGED not to release it.
But he has, and at a price anyone can afford.
What you can NOT afford to do is pass this one up.
