ALAN RORRISON’S ‘NIGHT AND DAY’ - Two stunning glass penetration effects that look like trick photography!
"This is a stunning illusion. When I first saw it, I thought I might be witnessing real magic!” - Cameron Francis
“The illusion is visual eye candy and the fact that it's as direct as an effect gets, makes it a beautiful peice of magic. I like this a lot!” – Steve Haynes
“It is slow, elegant magic at it finest. A coin is gently rubbed on the bottom of the glass. The magician moves his hand away and the frickin coin is INSIDE THE GLASS. No funny moves - BAM!” – Donny Orbit
‘Dark as Night’ is a coin through glass that would have looked at home in ‘The Matrix’. A borrowed and signed coin is touched to the bottom of a drinking glass where, in a moment of pure visual clarity, it appears to melt through! The coin appears to be suspended inside the glass itself for a brief moment before it is pushed through to its inevitable conclusion on the inside. The signed coin is now inside the glass having visually made its impossible journey through the bottom. The glass is then immediately handed out – the coin still inside – there is nothing to find!*
‘Clear as Day’ is a perplexing coin through glass table effect – stunning in its simplicity! You take a coin and spin it on the surface of a glass table. You stop it spinning and then slowly, rub it through the glass! The hand that catches the coin under the glass is seen empty right before the penetration. Unlike most other coin through glass table effects – you won’t see any rings on Alan’s fingers! This is a real world solution to an incredibly visual effect!

ALSO INCLUDES TWO BONUS EFFECTS!
‘Card thru Table’
A card is freely selected and signed before being placed onto the ‘soft spot’ of a glass table. The pack is dribbled onto the signed card. When the dribbled cards are pushed aside, underneath we find the signed selection having somehow passed through the table top! Easy, amazing, impromptu card magic at its best!
‘Coin thru Hand’
A cleverly constructed sequence which allows you to pass a coin through a spectators hand! First you pass a coin through your own hand – it gets stuck but you shake it out. Then you repeat it with a spectators hand. Again it gets stuck – with both your hands unmistakably empty you give the spectators hand a shake and out pops the coin into your awaiting hand!
Who is Alan Rorrison?
Among those with their ear to the ground, Alan is renowned as a creator of solid, commercial off-beat effects and is a magician who actually works his stuff in the real world. Alan used ‘Clear as Day’ at his residency in a night club for a number of years. The effect was specifically designed for the venue, being furnished with glass tables. After a renovation the glass tables suddenly disappeared and, still receiving requests for the ‘coin thru glass’ trick, Alan was forced to improvise and create the same effect without the table – ‘Dark as Night’ was born!
Alan’s magic never fails to catch you out first time round (and second and third time round on most occasions!) and it is because he is unconstrained in his methods. ‘Dark as Night’ and ‘Clear as Day’ are two perfect examples of why Alan’s magic receives high plaudit’s from working pro’s the world over!

Once it's downloaded, open the folder, click on the icon and the player will launch automatically. It's a BREEZE!
The video player looks great - it's simple, slick and elegant - but its main aim is functionality! On the left you'll find a numbered 'keypad' under the heading 'CHAPTERS'. Mouse over a chapter number and the chapter title is displayed. Click on which ever chapter you'd like to watch and 'voila' - it plays instantly!

THE 'NIGHT & DAY' DVD
The download is IDENTICAL to the upcoming DVD release of 'NIGHT & DAY'. The footage you see in the download is EXACTLY what is contained on the DVD. The download is a little less expensivebut maybe you'd like to wait until the DVD comes out and purchase that instead? General release is anticipated in around 4 weeks time and will cost around £14.99.
*'Dark as Night' requires the use of a common gimmick.
WILL I NEED TO DOWNLOAD OTHER SOFTWARE?
No. The video player is actually an 'Adobe Flash Projector'. It is completely self contained - you won't ever need to install anything else. Once you've downloaded it, it will launch straight out of the folder - you don't even need to be online. Adobe is one of the worlds leading software providers and 'Flash' is THE most popular format for video online today.
For a complete 'belt and braces' approach, here's a link to Adobe's website where you can read more about Flash and download the latest version. Again, you don't need this in order to use the 'Night & Day' download, but here's the link anyway:
Adobe Flash Player
HOW BIG IS THE FILE?
Despite the fact that you are downloading almost half an hour of 720 x 480 video (that's HUGE!) bundled with it's own player, the download will only require approximately 180meg of space on your hard drive! Needless to say, once it is downloaded, it can very easily be transfrerred onto a CD/DVD should you wish to store it that way.
ZIPPIDI-DOODA!
When you download Night & Day- the file will be 'zipped'. This is just a way to package files for download. Zip software is widely available and is usually free. Here is a link where you can download free zip software should you need it:
