Cinch, Shaun Robison

The PaperCrane review-athon continues as I get my teeth into the highly anticipated 'Cinch'! Here's the demo -  


As you can see, this is a super-fly version of the bill change where the moment of magic literally unfolds before your very eyes.

The method used here, as far I'm aware, uses a totally new spin on the handling which is practically self working & has some useful advantages over it's predecessors. This is achieved through the use of a gimmick (not a TT) which although helps to eliminate difficult sleights doesn't allow you to end clean - Shaun does ensure us that this isn't an issue for him as whilst the heat is on the bill, you can ditch the dirty South.

Being primarily a card guy, I've never had the urge to learn a bill change, I'd love to say "that was until now" but taking into account reset & examinability (from a workers perspective) this just isn't practical enough for my liking. For parlour or screen however, I think this would work great - definitely not to be overlooked in that respect.

The DVD is superbly shot in HD with multiple angles, step by step teaching, live performances & additional presentations.

Overall an eye-popping effect with a neat method, but the best out there.. I'm on the fence.
