Osmosis Description
 
In this effect three silver dollars are held at the finger tips. The coins are covered by a see through handkerchief. Almost visibly the performer pulls each coin through the cloth. It appears like the performer is plucking cherries from a tree. There is no by play or fooling around. The performer simply pulls a coin through the cloth and it is dropped onto the table. Without any hesitation the performer does the same with the second and the third.

The moves used are similar to "Spellbound" moves. They are fairly simple. While the moves required display some skill, the effect produced far outweighs any effort invested into learning the routine. While beginners will have some difficulty doing the moves, those that have any experience at all with sleight-of-hand should have little trouble with this routine.

Shortly after producing this trick a clip of it was placed on this web site. Many magicians commented on its appearance. Several said that they swore the first few times they saw it for the clever handling went right by them. Several said they swore again as they realized how it worked. Many believe it is a better and more magical trick than Matrix.

This is one of those tricks that is a classic even though it has only been around a few months.

The book is 25 pages long and contains 40 pictures.
