'THE HUMAN SLOT MACHINE' ..... Click >https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UjWk42JGr0c&feature=youtu.be
It has been my experience that this Human Slot Machine routine always amazes people 'ANYWHERE AT ANYTIME'...... The reason and very key that actually amazes people ..is that only seconds prior to performing this they all see my hands totally empty. This then has them asking themselves 'HOW THE HELL DID HE PULL THOSE SILVER DOLLARS OUT OF HIS EYES , EARS AND MOUTH? I SWEAR HIS HANDS WERE EMPTY!!!! I SAW THEM EMPTY!!!!!
.... THE ELEMENT OF SURPRISE IS THE KEY HERE FOR AMAZEMENT!!!!

This is always something to see, and makes the old, Miser's Dream a yawn. Always so amazing and unique.
Great job, Mick but as usual the crowd tells the bigger story as to good, better, best...After you watch, just listen! That's what it's all about.

I've been fortunate to see Mickey perform live on two occasions. His coin routines are distinct from many of the traditional in the sense that most have such high visual impact. Strong illusion that just amazes when seen in person. He sets it all up beautifully with his audience and then proceeds to just blow them away. He can set up magicians just as easily.
Not your average trickster - he's an illusionist in every sense.
I love his magic and I think he provides this subset of closeup magic with some new and exciting dimensions. Coin magic needs that, but I say 'he' because I see no one else around do or attempt to do anything that he does. Interestingly, it seems it hasn't influenced or motivated others to perform it - a bit like Sylvester the Jester's famous pitch. Although a treat to behold everytime I watch these two, I never see it performed by others.
Of course, Mickey is silent on his real technique - his prerogative entirely since he's the author of his own magic.
I'll watch him perform anytime I can.

To see a difficult thing lightly handled gives the impression of the impossible.

A feast for both the eyes and ears. Added to the element of surprise puts it over the top.
It's just plain fun to watch, even on repeated viewing when you know what's going to happen.

I am glad no one is doing what Mickey does! It should motivate people to develop their OWN style, as Mickey has done.

For that, I am also glad! YouTube would be FULL of bad Mickey clones, fumbling with coins! LOL!
