That's probably enough. Other resources that use the Muscle Pass in a unique way: Coins Akira's (DVD from Japanese magician Akira Fujii) Cultural Exchange (DVD, check out Shoot's Shot, Shoot's Production, and Sleeving Techniques) Muscle Pass DVD by David Kong (in my opinion, it's better...

Have you seen Chris Korn do his coins across to spectator's hand? He uses the spectator's VERTICAL hand kind of as a shield to hide a lot of the dirty work. Very cool concept. Scott.

At the 2:00 mark, you do a put into your left hand... and show your right hand empty...? What's the effect? I think learning a few acquitments and reproductions would go a long way. Right now it's just a display of some vanishes with immediate reappearances in your other hand (which kind of...

Anyone thought to use Ponta's vanish as a spellbound change yet? :) Video coming... Scott.

Ideally, yes. I wouldn't say it's flawed if it doesn't have a kicker. The payoff can be the escalating impossibility of the travelling of the coins. That last coin has to seem the most impossible. I guess that's the "finale". A backfire is a "kicker". You could do that. Scott.

For the last coin in my coins across routines, I either do a deep back clip / heel clip steal, or a Flashback where all the coins are seen to travel back to the original hand. You could do something like that. Scott.

Well, it's based off of the gimmicked locking sets of coins that you can buy at magic dealers, and has taken elements from Apollo Robbins' Coin on Shoulder. Scott.

Are you talking about his Famous 11p Trick with the Jam ending?

Exactly. And you're right- he's showing his chops, which is all well and good- but not much in the way of originality in terms of plot, presentation, or structure. I remember that coin pass- still like it. Been working on it a bit, lately, from a slightly different position. Haven't shown...

Some would say it is ridiculous to name someone "best coin magician" (of all time, mind you) after only being involved in the magic community a year or so, who has recently released one DVD that displays technique over creativity, originality, or any elements of presentation, and who has done...

Presto Changeo can be cleaned up in a more convincing manner, and more attention can be paid to the reappearance in the Slydini routine. All in all, not bad! Scott.

Not a bad routine, although it's not really my style. I prefer the coins to stay at the fingertips. It plays to a larger group that way. Scott.

Speaking of ignorance... I'm sure Nestor Hato would agree that his routine is not completely original in plot, or style. These aren't rules. It's nomenclature. The word "Matrix" in this context refers specifically to Al Schneider's routine. It used cards. "Coin Assemblies" are also "four...

For the record, MATRIX refers to routines based off of Al Schneiders original Coin Matrix routine, which is based off of The Sympathetic Coins in Modern Coin Magic. These routines use playing cards as cover cards. COIN ASSEMBLIES do not use playing cards, just the hands. They are based...

The concept of the hands floating above the coins to give the appearance that the coins are not touched belongs to Roth and was refined by Ammar. David Roths chink-a-chink routine is all you need on the subject. And don't get me started on Sh4de. Nothing exposes the method to Roth's...

As early as it is (I've had the DVD since Monday afternoon), here's a practice session of Ponta's Spellbound Sequence. Just showing that it CAN be done relatively well, if not as good as him, and trying to encourage everyone to give this kind of wicked fun coin magic a shot...

If you "don't have the angle just right", you don't "have it down". Scott.

This thread is full of so much crappy advice that I'm not coming back to it. Scott.

Every one knows you use an eraser! ;) Scott.

You have six weeks and a notepad? Scott.
