    Three Fly

    You did spell it correctly. I'm a fan of the original three-fly, by Chris Kenner. Scott.

    Platt's Catapult... and other sleeving goodness.

    Some of the best things on that DVD: THE FANNING PITCH ( I use it constantly... it's a great utility ) DIME IN TIC TAC BOX COIN TO SHOE CATAPULT STRIKE VANISH ( This one has fooled the magic guys in the shop ) Scott.

    Muscle Pass

    Blindside has it right, Nick... Jay's DVD is only OKAY at best. He actually teaches the muscle pass pretty good, but then he goes on to say that it's OKAY for you to give it a little toss... which it's NOT. For that reason alone, I'm staying clear of it. Beans, you should wait for David...

    Witness by Lee Asher

    Lee... did you mean "by standard", or "by-stander"? Scott.

    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...

    "The Deep" Chris Kenner

    THE DEEP is published by Chris Kenner in TOTALLY OUT OF CONTROL / OUT OF CONTROL, and CoinOne is a Homer Liwag DVD that you can buy. They are both (for the most part) VCA's... VISUAL COINS ACROSS. Search "CoinOne" on youtube for a demo of coinone by Homer. The DEEP is a neo-classic in...

    "The Deep" Chris Kenner

    I've totally reworked THE DEEP. I do a coins across routine with four coins that's similar to The Deep, but includes my "Flim Flam SHAM" move (based off the Yin Yam Flim Flam, which is used by Kenner and Liwag), so that I can do "the coin that never goes", without a shell or gimmick. Wait...

    Best Impromtu Coin Vanish?

    RANT TIME The problem with so-called "coin magic" these days, is that the younger generation of magicians (no offense, I understand that it's a generalisation) treats vanishing a single coin as a stand-alone effect. (ie, revolution, breakaway vanish, GONE vanish, etc.) Here's the thing...

    Best Impromtu Coin Vanish?

    Complete coin vanish, or one where you're dirty and (possibly) have to ditch? Scott.

    Coin Magic: Where Should I Start?

    Try doing it IMMEDIATELY after scotch/soda. Wow. Scott.

    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...

    Change overs and alike

    Getting back to the first post in the thread... You're asking for what appears to be COMPLETELY empty hands, and then have a coin end up in classic palm. Why not actually have your hands empty, and do a steal? You could use a magnetic half and pocket magnet, or a "hoo" coin (if you don't...

    Coin Magic: Where Should I Start?

    Yes. It's under the same name. It's a four DVD set and is a great companion to the book. Scott.

    Change overs and alike

    It's not a transfer, though. Larry Barnowsky's Flying Changeover palm is one of the best, as is a simple muscle pass into the finger tips. Scott.

    Coin Magic: Where Should I Start?

    What DW said. If you have any questions about it, PM me. I've been through that book so many times, I sometimes feel like I could re-write it from memory. The good thing about it is that you never stop looking in it; it serves as the best REFERENCE for coin magic, as well. Scott.

    My coin vanish... Evolution

    I'm not a fan of the "motion" you use. Can it not be done slowly, with a smaller motion? I think it would make it look about a TRILLION times better. Scott.

    Change overs and alike

    Fitch palm was wrongly named that because someone miscredited the grip to Bob Fitch. It is actually a Jimmy Wilson grip, and is referred to as the JW grip. Anyhoo... Eric deCamps has an interesting version of wiped clean, as does Giacomo Bertini. Learn wiped clean first, and then from...

    Hey, this is kind of my intro to coin magic.

    Skip the Jay Nosebleeda Dvd and go straight for the good stuff. Street Magic style coin magic = standup, no-table close-up coin magic. So you're looking for some material in Easy to Master Money Miracles by Ammar, or even the Cultural Exchange DVD series (although they're half card magic...

    Problem in Media Section

    I submitted a coin video; it'll be interesting to see where it ends up :P Scott.

    Do you agree? Question about the Muscle Pass

    I think you mean Dan Watkins ;) Reed McClintock's new Classic Palming with Coins DVD has a bit on the muscle pass that is both informative and good for improving your palm/pass. Scott.
