Jumbo Coins?

[Close-Up Expert]

Hey all...just ordered a couple jumbo half dollars (along w/ my monthly usual...sponge balls, flash paper, and 52-on-1 card).

I was wondering though, if anyone has read of any good routines that utilize a jumbo coin? This is hopefully going to go into my restaurant work, so no flash paper is going to be used. I already have a few ideas I'm working on, that incorporate one of my routines...

But definitely, would prefer an already existing routine...haha.

Thanks guys!

I know that Greg Wilson's Dishonest Abe routine uses large coins, but I don't know if that would work for you or not.

Look up Gary Kurtz's stuff - Unexplainable Acts.

The classic one-coin routine by David Roth is simple yet very effective and utilizes a jumbo coin.

If you're looking for something more flashy (and also more difficult...):

David Stone also has a routine called Smile Land. I don't personally use the routine because I don't do much jumbo coin work, but it is absolutely phenominal. Hands down the most creative and impressive jumbo coin routine I've seen...plus it has a cool ending. While many hate the word "youtube," if you look up "David Stone Smile," a performance can be seen there.

A slightly easier routine is on Cultural Exchange 1 by Shoot Ogawa called Shooting Kennedy. However, it requires the use of 4 jumbo coins. If you don't own four, or just want to stick with two, you may look there if for no other reason than to pick up a few of the moves/ideas from the routine.

Hope it helped...

I use half dollar jumbo coins.

I do a simple pocket to hand routine, based off hopping half. Although I just use one coin. I start with a shell and a coin and do a couple in the pocket, back to hand. THen used the big coin as "the extra coin people think I use" for the final time it goes back to my hand.

Also check out Paul Green's In the Trenches, he uses it at the end of his flying eagles routine.

I like tipping a big jumbo coin out of something like a small purse.

Thanks guys...

What Manning said is something I'm working on...only w/o the shell. I'm toying around with an impromptu hopping halves. I believe there is already something out there like that though...I might have to look into it to save me the trouble lol.

Thanks again!

I was gonna say....

Garrett Thomas' Big Coin/Little Purse routine from his DVD set is an excellent routine to do with a couple jumbo coins.
