Description
Blasted was by created by Bob Swadling and sold by Harry Stanley c. 1964. And it quickly became a hit around the world! Originally it was called The Swadling Swindle but it’s name changed to Blasted when it was marketed in the USA.
What I really like about this is if you perform it described in the instructions there are zero sleights. It looks very effective and you just follow my video and you’ll wow them all. No funny moves at all – watch closely and be amazed 🙂
This version is larger than the standard one released by both Bob and Tannen’s so I am not sure who released it. I have included the Tannen’s instructions. I like this one because of the green felt on the tray avoids the slight risk of the coin jumping too high and exposing the gimmick, which doesn’t happen very often but it can happen.
Effect: An (unfaked) tray – A Wine Glass – One Silver and One Copper Coin are used to bring about this FULLY VISIBLE CLOSE-UP MIRACLE.
Either of the two coins is selected, and one is placed on the tray. The glass is inverted and placed over the coin thus isolating it . . . There is no “funny business” – the coin is clearly VISIBLE UNDERNEATH THE GLASS.
The other coin is now placed on the foot (bottom) glass and then – quicker than you can say “BLASTED” BOTH SILVER AND COPPER COINS ARE NOW ON THE TRAY UNDER THE GLASS.
