Coin stuff from MCM?

[Casey]

Hey guys. I just got my books (Modern Coin Magic, Card Control, and Royal road) in the mail, but I was wondering if you guys have any suggestions using up to 3 coins in the book? I wish I had 4 dollar coins (eisenhower), but I only have 3, so that's my limit. Thanks guys!

Learn a few of the moves, then modify the four coin routines to work with three coins. I don't know why we always use 4 coins for stuff. (Except for 3 Fly, of course.) There is no rule that says you have to use 4 coins. I can't think of any tricks in particular that were designed with three coins, and I don't feel like looking things up.

You might want to check with your local banks. I'm not sure if they normally carry dollar coins but whenever I need to stock up on regular kennedy half dollars, the banks usually have more than enough that they could just trade you.

My bank doesn't have half dollars. They said they would have to order them in. I'm guessing that they wouldn't have dollars either.

i always love doing the midas touch, followed by coins across and a triple coin vanish

Thanks! I'll check that out.

3 coins is fine. I do most of my multiple coin work with just three or two, rather than four. Depending on what you're doing, sometimes, 3 is better than 4. 4 is sometimes too boring and repetitive for the spectator, and somehow 3 can be a good amount. that's just what i've found. So anyways, have fun!
