    Performance Video- My routine

    My routine that combines Beijing coins Across by Curtis Kam with Sanada's Wildcoin routine. A few surprises I threw in for me, and a clever little JW Change that I really like, as well. Let me know what you guys think! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_EugnzIGNE (Also, credit to Shoot...

    I've been away... and I am back

    What's new? I haven't been on this forum for MONTHS. And even then, it was a brief visit. Just curious, as this forum for coins is pretty dead looking to me... Not many people doing coin magic these days? There are threads on the first page dating back over a month. No one has anything...

    One of My Creations - The WHITHER CHANGE

    This is a quick, QUICK video of it, so that everyone can see it if they like. It's based off of apollo robbins whither vanish, and uses a two-inch vertical muscle pass. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bNe3OtIIZBs THOUGHTS? Scott.

    Some coin stuff I'm working on.

    This is an idea I had to produce four coins from one hand, kind of inspired by Reed McClintock's Seven the Hard Way (Knucklebusters). I liked the style of it, but just wanted to do four instead of seven. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-XssoH1Jf0 This is a coins across I've been...

    Wouldn't it be great if there was another COINvention? Who here would go? Does anyone know who started the last one? Scott.

    Favorite coin magician to watch

    What coin manipulator do you guys like to watch? By that I mean, maybe you like their material, but who do you find the most entertaining? Kainoa Harbottle and Curtis Kam tie in my eyes; they don't sacrifice presentation when they perform their moves, like many do. Their magic is tough...

    Akira Fujii- Coins Akira's

    I like to think that reviews belong in their respective specialized forums, and not in a general "review forum". So here's a review of the DVD COINS AKIRA'S, for all of those who dig the coin magic. I know I do. COIN'S AKIRA'S (Fujii's coin routines with Muscle Pass) DVD Quality - 4/5...

    Giacomo Bertini

    How many of you guys have seen Giacomo's coin work? His released material is excellent, and apparently he'll be in NY for the New York Coin Seminar that Roth, Rubinstein, Latta, and Gallo put on (as will Kainoa Harbottle). I've been practicing Giacomo's work since I first came across it...

    Cylinder and Coins- and where the good stuff is!

    Mickey Hades lives in Calgary. Don't know who Mickey is? Google him. He's been in magic FOREVER, as an inventor, performer, and collector. Look up his table; it's brilliant. He lives three or four blocks from the magic shop where I work. And Brent, the owner of the shop, just bought...

    Do you agree? Question about the Muscle Pass

    I've really given this a lot of thought. I perform in the magic shop I work at every day, so I have a great test group of laypeople and magicians that I can try new ideas on. I've noticed a peculiar thing regarding the muscle pass. I have done "the coin that falls up" billions of times...

    Scotch and Soda VS. Dime and Penny

    Does the size of the coins change the "effect"? What makes one superior? Which do you guys use, and why? Is one more suitable for a certain type of routine than the other? Interested to hear your views. Scott.

    Nun None

    While Nun None is not really a coin trick (it can be done with anything), it's most commonly performed with two coins. What I'm looking for are interesting patter ideas that lead up to the kicker ending of the nun in the hand. Anyone brave enough to share an interesting concept or new...

    Question regarding Scotch and Soda

    What is the weirdest place you guys have ever made that centavo appear after the vanish? Just curious, to see who thinks outside the box here. I like making it appear on the spectators shoulder (thanks, Apollo!), in their pocket, dropping it from my head, and having it in my shoe. Where...
