Michael

I didn't write that.

Hey guys, although the presale is over, you can still get this from either me or Meir Yedid at https://www.mymagic.com/p/money-magic/s-e-m

Dr. Rubinstein has done it again with another showpiece routine in the style that David Roth made famous over 40 years ago. The Sun, Earth and Moon is a modular, multi-phase routine that is perfect (and adaptable) for parlor, table hopping and formal close up (sitting at a table). With time and effort, the average coin magician can definitely perform this routine. One of the great features is that you receive everything you need to perform the routine, no longer do you have to scour ebay for obscure props, trying to match up your coin gaffes, etc. You receive it all to perform in a variety of environments, coupled with top notch video instructions. Plus, if you get stuck on something, send Mike a note and he will get back to you with a solution(s). You can’t go wrong with this and its highly recommended.

Thought you all might like to watch this video review by Rick Holcombe, where he uses the props to create his own routine, then talks about everything in the package that you will receive:

I received Dr Michael Rubinstein's S.E.M in the UK at the original reduced price. With international delivery, this was an expensive purchase and I did hesitate before ordering. Not just because of the price but because I generally avoid carrying coin magic props beyond a small purse. The joy of coin magic for me is the simplicity and lightweight materials required, and the ease of portability (ie, in one's pockets). However, I am very pleased with what I received. S.E.M is beautifully crafted. It is highly portable and easy to use in different environments.

The coins (including gimmicked coins) are top-notch quality. The [ has perfect coverage. This set is on a par with coins I have from the late, great Todd Lassen. I can see myself using these coins in other routines. This set of coins is unique and gorgeous. The quality is amazing for a gimmicked set. It leaves me wondering why other gimmick makers cannot come close to producing this quality.

Michael has produced a wonderful effect. It is a very well-thought out routine and the video instruction (at nearly an hour-and-a-half) is everything I have come to expect from Michael, including some wonderful close-ups from the magician's view. His instruction pays attention to the smallest detail and to alternatives where one might want to handle things another way. I have purchased from Michael in the past and even before I did, he has always been helpful with email answers and support.

I could go on at length but I now see that Rick Holcombe's video explains this far better than I ever will. It is an excellent example of how one can tailor and develop one's own routines with this delightful set of props. It's not cheap but for any serious coin worker S.E.M is well worth the investment.

Thank you, Michael, for this creation. I am delighted to be one of the 100 magicians to own S.E.M.

Rick Holcome did a fantastic demonstration.

Rave reviews out for S.E.M! Isn't it time you be one of the 100 (no more will be made) to add a new piece to your performance? Whether you perform for large groups, restaurants, or friends and family, this is for you! Easy, magical, and unique! Email me for ordering information. Here is a montage of 3 performances. Enjoy!

After seeing Rick Holcombe perform his own version of S.E.M. in his review video, some people have written wondering if my own routine can also be performed sitting. You can do the five minute showpiece perfectly when sitting at a table, with a slight variation of the globe change as seen here:

I will be back from vacation today. All orders of S.E.M. (The Sun, the Earth, and the Moon) will go out tomorrow. Thanks again for your interest in S.E.M.!!

In February, David Copperfield has announced that he will make the moon disappear. Why not get in on the hype, and use the S.E.M. coin set and props to make the moon disappear, reappear in impossible locations, transpose, and even more magic by adding in the sun and earth as well! Perfect for larger audiences as a stand up sit down show, or do the shorter table hopping version that you can work out of your pockets. You start and end clean, and use the special coin set and unique props to get the magic done!
Copperfield will be doing his routine as a TV special, but you can perform this in person for your spectators. The videos are posted in this thread, take a look and get back to me (or Meir Yedid at mymagic.com) for ordering info to add S.E.M. to your shows!!

A review just popped up from Nathan Kranzo from the Latest and Greatest section. Thought you guys might like to see it: Posted: Nov 1, 2023 02:16 pm

"This is like getting an entire magic act in a box.
So much cool stuff.
The clear globe ending is absolutely awesome and the actual prop is stunning.
Mr. Rubinstein has done it again. Not only are the routines and ideas that he provides absolutely awesome visual magic. But the props are the highest order. Ted Bogusta is a master craftsman, and these sun and moon gimmicks are absolutely beautiful. There is nothing like them available. You will definitely want to get a set ASAP before they are gone forever. I can't recommend this set highly enough. Congratulations Michael. Another winner!!!!"

Thanks, Nathan, glad you are having fun with S.E.M.!!

People have asked if it is possible to use S.E.M. for a carry anywhere trick. Here is a simplified handling that doesn't require the globe prop, can be carried for an impromptu performance, and makes good use of the special coins. Watch here:

I am pleased to report that S.E.M. will soon be released on a larger scale via Murphys, making it easier to obtain from your favorite dealer. The remainder of the limited 100 sets should now sell quickly, and no more will be produced. I will still keep a few for private sale, so feel free to contact me if you want to get your hands on S.E.M.!
