The Coin That Falls Up: The invention of John Cornelius that first made the Muscle Pass famous, rarely correctly performed. David teaches all the nuances that make the Coin That Falls Up a beautiful illusion instead of a throwaway trick. Productions with the Muscle Pass: Five killer productions.

Sky Routine: Add a new phase to a classic effect that doubles its impact. Hand Penetration: Visibly push a coin right through your hand, with no cover. Stenberg Penetration: The most powerful effect with the Muscle Pass. When correctly performed, this effect takes coin magic to a new level - your spectator can see and feel a coin pass right through his hand.

Do it in your hands, in a spectator's hands, right in front of his eyes. Quads - Extremely Difficult: That's right, quads.

Final Recap: A last recap of the entire DVD with some parting thoughts and routining tips and ideas. 'David Kong is a master of the Muscle Pass.
