Embracing the Classic Miser’s Dream Routine
Many are intrigued by, “What is the ‘Miser’s Dream’ Routine?”. This iconic routine holds a cherished place in coin magic history. The narrative centers around a penny-pinching miser whose dream of conjuring money from thin air becomes a reality through the magician’s skill. The performer seemingly plucks coins from impossible places – the air, their clothing, and even the audience – collecting their magically produced wealth in a pail, champagne bucket, or, perfectly, a goblet.
While modern performances may not always adhere strictly to the original miser storyline, the name “Miser’s Dream” has endured. Legendary magicians like T. Nelson Downs, Arthur Buckley, and contemporary masters like Jeff McBride have popularized and refined this captivating routine, and the Money Goblet is the ideal tool to bring this classic to your repertoire.
Maintaining the Money Goblet’s Gleam
Concern about longevity is natural, leading to the question, “Will the Money Goblet Tarnish?”. Both the Brass and Silver Money Goblets are crafted from high-quality brass. Brass, by its nature, can tarnish over time, developing a patina. If you prefer to maintain the bright shine of the Brass Money Goblet, regular polishing will easily restore its luster.
The Silver Money Goblet boasts a chrome-plated finish, providing a brilliant, mirror-like surface. Chrome is renowned for its durability, however, prolonged exposure to moisture or dirt can eventually lead to tarnishing, even on chrome-plated metal. Simple care and cleaning will keep both versions of your Money Goblet looking their best for years to come.
Selecting the Perfect Goblet Color for Your Style
Choosing between finishes prompts the question, “Which color goblet do I choose?”. Both the Brass and Silver Money Goblets are equally effective in any performance environment. The optimal choice often boils down to your personal style and performance persona.
Consider your stage character: “Which color visually complements my hands and overall presentation?”. Stage performers often gravitate towards silver pails for Miser’s Dream routines, perhaps due to tradition or silver’s reflective properties under stage lighting. The Silver Money Goblet seamlessly aligns with this classic aesthetic.
For Parlor or Street Magic, the warm, slightly aged look of a tarnished brass goblet might enhance a more informal, approachable vibe. In Close Up Magic, color selection becomes a matter of personal preference. Consider the color palette of your existing props, such as your cups and balls set. Do you prefer a consistent color scheme or a contrasting accent piece? Still undecided? Take advantage of the bundled discount and acquire both!
Expanding Your Coin Arsenal with Disco Dollars
For those seeking to maximize their coin production, “Can I get more Disco Dollar Coins?” is a frequent inquiry. Absolutely! To encourage you to expand your magical arsenal, Copeland Coins offers a 5% discount on any set of Disco Dollar Coins purchased alongside a Money Goblet package. This discount is automatically applied at checkout, making it even easier to amplify your coin magic routines.
The Magic Behind the Collaboration with Jeff McBride
Finally, many are curious about, “How did you convince Jeff McBride to release this?”. The answer, in short, is “Magic!”. In the words of Jeff Copeland himself, collaborating with Jeff McBride was “a great honor” and a “memorable experience.” The included tutorial and jam session footage are a testament to this collaboration, offering invaluable insights and elevating the learning experience for every Money Goblet owner.
Each Money Goblet is a testament to meticulous craftsmanship. Handmade, spun, and cut on traditional machines by skilled artisans, and then expertly gimmicked using cutting-edge technology under the watchful eye of world-class machinists. This is not mass-produced magic; it’s handcrafted artistry. The subtle variations inherent in handmade items imbue each goblet with a unique character.
