1. There is a thread in the Coin section of the forums that would be good to get your opinion: What did you find the best way to get your classic palm to look the most natural? Did you palm multiple coins or maybe palm a coin while going about your business?

2. What is one piece of advice for making any coin routine more the most natural?

3. What was it like to work with David Mackey? It must have been rough....

In your opinion, what is real magic to you?

If you could revolutionize magic in anyway, what way would that be?

What is your dream effect that you hope to someday achieve and be able to perform, or your fantasy effect?

I know this may not be your style of coin magic as I can not imagine you performing it but have you ever happened to perform sick by sean fields??

I do absolutely no coin magic at the moment. I want to get Modern Coin Magic, but I have heard half the material in there is old and outdated. What would you recommend as the best starting point for coin work?

Actually I recently have been studying the coin on shoulder for about a week and I was wondering how much you perform this and would you have any advice you can give me about diversion etc and how to execute it well?

Dear Mr. Liwag,

1) I have gotten Modern Coin Magic by JB Bobo, and its an excellent start for me. However, i want to expand my coin work by getting CoinOne. Any tips for expanding the knowledge after CoinOne? Like getting new material?

2) Even though Chris Kenner and Dan and Dave said you have the worst hands in magic, and i saw a picture of them in your CoinTwo Extended Trailer on YouTube, how do you use your "bad hands" to your advantage?

3) Would you prefer impromptu coin magic over gimmick coin magic? Vise versa? And why?

1) How many hours or how do you practice your coin work?

2) Where do you think magic is heading now? In other words is magic where it was 10 to 20 years ago?

3) What inspired or pushed you to try to make the perfect coins across? (Reffering to what you said in CoinTwo)

By the way you are AMAZING!!!! and thank you Chris and Homer for the CoinTwo DVD. Im the guy on iTricks. ;)

What aspect of designing stage illusions do you find the most challenging? ie originality, lighting, portability, audience line of sight.


Where do you see yourself at in 10 years and what do you hope to have accomplished between now and then?

What a great opportunity thank you.

1. Who is your biggest inspiration when it comes to magic in general? Who inspired you to do what you do today?

2. When and how did you realize you were going to pursue coin magic?

3. Have you always wanted to be a magician? If not what other profession did you consider?

Homer, what would you say is the greatest/least greatest advancement in the field of coin conjuring?

What do you think is the most opportunistic coin idea that is overlooked or underused in coin magic?
 
Hey Homer.

1) I don't do much coin magic currently, but next year, I will be completely focusing on starting coin magic. How hard is CoinOne to do, and would you recommend it to someone who is just starting? (If anyone else could answer this for me, that would be awesome too... :) )
