Avi Yap – The Avi Yap Lecture 2

After the overwhelming success of his first lecture, Avi has returned for a brand new session.

In this in-depth, three and a half hour lecture you’ll learn unpublished handlings, professional routines, visual moments that look like CGI, and one of the most meaningful pieces of coin magic Avi has ever created.

If you’re not already familiar with Avi’s work, his mind-blowing brand of highly visual magic has earned him a loyal following online, as well as recognition from legendary magicians like Juan Tamariz, Chris Kenner and David Williamson.

“Avi is by far my favorite magician of this era. Just when I thought I have seen his best stuff… He shows me this. The thinking and execution is off the charts.”
– Chris Kenner

“Avi’s magic is a prime example of the perfect balance between pure skill and artistic poetry. With his kindness, thoughtfulness and structure, he leads the next generation of coin magicians into a wonderful future.”
– Homer Liwag

“Avi’s got more than just impressive chops. He’s got the rare ability to turn technique into magic.”
– Curtis Kam​​​​​

​Here’s just a small taste of what you’ll learn…​​​​​

1. Avi’s Famous One Handed Coin Vanish

This is the coin vanish that put Avi on the map.

An extremely visual, CGI-looking one handed coin vanish with no covers.

The coin simply… disappears.

It looks like a glitch in the matrix.

2. Make a Wish

Juan Tamariz once described this as Avi’s best coin magic.

After seeing it, you’ll understand why.

A true wonder for audiences, Make a Wish is an emotional and powerful piece of magic that happens entirely in the spectator’s hands.

And in their mind.

It leaves them with a powerful positive feeling that transcends what most people think of as coin magic.

There is no more battle between the magician and the spectator.

Instead, the routine leaves audiences with a beautiful moment, a powerful message, and a genuine sense of wonder.

This is one of Avi’s most personal creations and the routine he believes has the strongest impact on real audiences.

Also included is Avi’s complete Make a Wish manuscript, which might be worth the price of the entire lecture on its own.

In this detailed document Avi breaks down the psychology, scripting, audience management, structure, additional outs, and subtle decisions that make the routine so powerful and touching.

3. Threaded

Threaded is Avi’s take on the classic Charming Chinese Challenge.

The routine focuses on visual moments that are fair, clean and impossible.

It also introduces a unique kickback phase where all of the coins instantly and unexpectedly reappear back on the ribbon: a moment that’s never been done before in a CCC routine.

Avi will also share his updated, unpublished handling that allows the routine to be done completely without a table, making the whole performance significantly more practical in real-world situations.

4. Philosopher’s Coin

Avi’s take on Pipo Villanueva’s acclaimed Atomic Coin routine, updated with handlings he’s never shared anywhere else.

While keeping the artistic tempo and visual nature of the original, Avi has expanded the routine with additional phases and an added moment that’s totally unexpected and absolutely impossible looking.

While already a very strong routine, Avi’s additions push it to the next level in terms of both visual elements and plot development.

If you already love Atomic Coin, you’ll find a lot to appreciate here.

And if you’ve never explored the plot before, this is a beautiful introduction to it.

5. Invisibility Box

A short but mesmerizing routine where a coin becomes invisible and materializes back and forth in impossible ways.

Fast, engaging, and practical, it’s packed with magical moments.

In Avi’s own words, “it just looks like how I think it should look if magic were real.”

The Avi and Danny Jam Session

After Avi finished teaching everything he had planned, he and Danny continued exploring ideas together in an extended bonus jam session.

Fueled by questions from the live audience, they riffed on additional routines, handlings, applications, visual moments, theory, and creative ideas that neither of them had originally planned to discuss.

In fact, they got so into it that both Avi and Danny ended up sharing things they hadn’t intended to share.

Avi might even get in trouble…

They explored additional applications and new ideas built around Avi’s material, including an extended discussion of one of Avi’s favorite gimmicks and the many visual effects, routines, and creative possibilities it unlocks. Best of all, it’s incredibly simple and easy to make at home.

Danny even shared his own Under Palm, which he’s never before taught outside the Magic Mastery membership. He demonstrated how useful and versatile this unique palm is by using it to improve several of Avi’s routines while solving one of coin magic’s biggest challenges: openly displaying one coin while secretly concealing another.

And that’s only scratching the surface.

Rather than simply teaching prepared material, you’re able to watch two professional creators respond to questions from the audience, challenge one another, solve problems together, refine techniques, and develop entirely new ideas as the conversation unfolds.
