Solitary, Cameron Francis

When two of my favourite forces share superpowers, I know I'm not going to be disappointed & fortunately I wasn't!

The plot: object to impossible location, specifically a coin to coin holder. It's a direct, visual & baffling effect which perfectly fits the Vernon 'one sentence' criteria - if you agree with that..

The 'behind the scenes' for Solitary are simple, easy to do & practical - definitely a worker! What I particularly like about the effect/method is that there's a vast amount of variations/presentations you can do, many of which Cameron offers but I'm convinced he's just scratching the surface. I think this is a concept that were likely to see a lot more of & I'm sure this will inspire your own Solitary-esque creations.

For me the best item on the release is what Cameron himself calls a 'mega routine'! It takes a pinch of almost every item, combines a card trick (always a win) and leaves the spectator with an impossible souvenir, this is the one you'll be using, a real show piece.

As usual I think it's pointless reviewing Papercrane's production as their consistently flawless in this department - very nicely shot, clearly structured, detailed, credits, you get the idea..

Overall I think is a cool trick which you won't just find yourself performing in Solitary (I know.. I do try). Recommended.
