S.E.M. by Dr. Michael Rubinstein

Give your audience a coin routine with a story they can follow: the sun and moon change places, vanish, and reappear around a colorful globe. In S.E.M. by Dr. Michael Rubinstein, the globe becomes transparent, and a coin repeatedly penetrates a small denim pocket—even after a spectator puts it back inside.

Perform it as a five-minute showpiece standing or seated, or streamline the routine for table hopping. A simplified handling lets you work from your pocket when you’re ready to perform.

• Multiple phases: The sun and moon switch places, the moon appears beneath the globe, and both coins vanish before returning in surprising locations.
• Coin set: Includes a dollar-sized copper coin bearing an Aztec Sun Stone image, a matching copper shell, two thick copper/silver inserts, and a steel-shimmed Eisenhower bicentennial dollar with a moon image.
• Globe props: You get a colorful metal globe with a specially gimmicked base, plus a matching clear globe and ball holder.
• Additional props: The set includes a small denim pocket and an open servant. The coins can be examined at the end, with your hands clean.
• Instruction and presentation: Access a one-hour, 20-minute online tutorial and a bonus tutorial link covering two additional handlings. A written script with extra tips, signed by Dr. Rubinstein, is also included.

Each set comes in a sturdy square box with a magnetic lid and includes a numbered, signed certificate of authenticity. The run is limited to 100 sets; one set in every 20 includes an original David Roth business card. Build a full sun-and-moon feature into your parlor set or adapt it for close-up at the table.
