There's nothing "mine" about this. With all the junk on the market, Gary Kosnitzky's Cig up Nose, is a true standout. And I hate almost everything. I've had it for a couple of years now. Always looks good. Gimmick is holding up nicely. And now that I can upload videos I thought I'd throw this up. Enjoy. And support the man with coolest last name in magic.

Nicely done, Platt! You make it look like real magic!! It always gives me a tingling sensation whenever I watch this effect.

I was also attracted by the colour change of coin video at the same video page! Well done!
In love with magic!

Looking good Platt! I have this gimmick but I've never performed it. After watching your video I'm going to do it tomorrow!
The coin change is also very nice!
Nice to meet you Smile

The reset for Kosnitzky's Cig Up Nose is almost instant. Don't confuse gems like this with garbage rip-offs like the Pen thru Arm.

You do my trick justice.

Praise from the man himself. Thanks Gary. But your gimmick does all the work. By the way, who's responsible for the art work on the package? It's as smart as the gimmick itself.

The man behind the artwork on "Cigarette Up The Nose" and "Heads or Tails" is none other than the legendary Ben Harris from Australia. Not only is he a creative genius he is also an extremely nice guy who has an innate talent for capturing the taste of an effect and expressing that flavor in his art.

I enjoyed it too. Great to watch. Cyril Takayama does the cig in nose during his on-stage routine in Paris, and then has it reappear from his mouth. I posted the video in other forum.

If you go to Murphy's Magic Supplies Inc. website and bring up "Cigarette Up The Nose" there is a new demo video of Criss Angel performing it on his A&E TV series MINDFREAK.

Thanks Eric. As for the Cig up Nose, I'm not surprised to see Criss Angel doing it. He doesn't really take full advantage of the gimmick but it still looks great. At least he picks his gimmicks wisely.

It was a pleasant surprise to walk in to my favorite Magic Shop (Denny & Lee's -Las Vegas) and have Tom tell me that he just saw my "Cigarette Up The Nose" performed by Criss Angel on his A&E TV series MINDFREAK.
I really enjoy watching other magicians perform my version of this classic effect. When I see magicians like Platt doing this it reminds me of how much fun it really is to perform. Platt, keep these amazing videos coming.

I always frame my presentation around an anti- smoking theme. It is not a lit cigarette. Criss Angel uses it as a finale after he "hypnotizes" someone to stop smoking.
Holding a cigarette in your hand presently gets more attention than it used to due to the negative view most people have of smoking and smokers. This works in your favor when performing this effect. You will have maximum attention most of the time since folks are initially wondering (and hoping you don't) light that cigarette up. It becomes kinda a relief when you don't light it up and instead shove it up your nose till it's gone.

Thanks for inquiring,
