If you aren’t yet the proud owner of Mariano Goñi’s and Cesar Alonsois’ “Melting Point,” you will have absolutely no use for this follow-up DVD other than academic. If, on the other hand, you’re in possession of the original gimmick, you may be interested in exploring some (maybe all) of the new and novel applications presented here. The bulk of these are common and/or classic plots performed with the Melting Point gimmick. Of course that begs the question - are any of them better for being executed with said gimmick than they would be using prior methods? In many cases, I’d have to say - not so much. The coin changes, coin vanishes, card changes, card peeks, add-ons, false transfers and matrix all look fine, but every one of them could be performed just as effectively (and in some cases just as easily) without the gimmick.

Holy $@*%!
I haven't seen the original Melting Point, but I'll be buying one immediately. This DVD is Mariano Goa's additional routines, moves and gimmicks for the original.
If I had to pick one word to sum up this work it would be "clean." "Beautiful" would be a second runner-up.
Here are some of the routines shown on this DVD.
Up & Down: A coin visibly penetrates a glass tabletop, first from the bottom up and then back down. There are no weird moves and no cover other than your hands. It just doesn't get any better than this.
Violent Pass: You toss a coin down onto a glass tabletop and it visibly penetrates as it hits the glass.
Card Changes: New takes on several standard color changes that allow you to keep you fingers open.
You'll also find applications to some of the classics that you already do, such as Matrix and Cups & Balls.
As a bonus to me, Mariano has some work on a really old gimmick that I tend to use now... [Read More] |
