How long is the video?
55 minutes-- to be exact.
Do I have to use sleeves with Silver Dream?
No, there is also a gimmicked version of Silver Dream that uses no sleeving and can be done in short sleeves. You will need an expanded shell coin for that, available on this page at Ellusionist.
Is it hard?
That depends on your present ability with coins. It will need practice, but the rewards are enormous. You will learn more rare things about sleeving than you thought possible. If you thought you knew sleeving, you don't.
Do I need props for Silver Dream?
There are two versions of Silver Dream on this DVD: gimmicked and non-gimmicked. For the non-gimmicked routine, all you need is three coins. We sell brand new coins here if you need them at $1.98 each. Alternatively, you can go to your local bank and get coins that have been around for a while.
For the gimmicked version of Silver Dream, you will need the basic coins, PLUS an expanded shell coin, also available on this page at Ellusionist.
Can I use ANY coins for the non-gimmicked version?
Yes. Kennedy half dollars or Walking Liberty half dollars are highly recommended however, due to the size and easy visiblilty for your presentation.
Does the gimmick come with it?
No. If you want to perform the gimmicked version, you will need to purchase the gimmicked shell coin above.
Do I have to use coins or can I use anything?
It's possible that you could use other objects, but coins are the ideal weight and size.
How long will it take me to learn?
That's a subjective statement. We don't know your present ability or how fast you generally learn. Justin's teaching is so good, however, that it will ease the way for you dramatically.
Do I need baggy sleeves?
If performing the non-gimmicked version of Silver Dream, almost any sleeves will do the trick as long as they have some 'give' in them. Relax-- at least you don't need to be wearing a hula-hoop around your wrist!
