I would like one in the vein of a challenege coin. I would be happy even if it weren't open for general sale but instead for Elite members. Maybe won in SNC? Although I own a few custom coins I personally am not a big fan of having multiples of them. I would rather use regular coins or silver...

It is called "prym" thread also...but they should know what you mean if you said knitting elastic at Michaels.

I like some versions of Brother Hamman's "The Signed Card" where an unknown card is put facedown in plain sight and then a selection is made and signed. This signed card dissapears then turns out to be the card that was in sight the whole time.

I don't think that trick is specifically in BoBo's. You are looking for a "hopping half" set I think, I feel there is another name for it but I am mentally blocking on it. The patter that comes with it isn't too great because it sets up a "you versus them" situation, just a FYI you may want to...

There are more than a few ways to accomplish what you are describing. I assume the magician keeps removing a coin from the two in one of their hands but then still showing that same hand to contain 2 coins until suddenly that hand is empty of all coins? Whats your interest in this...

In addition to what has been written already here you can check out Kostya Kimlat. He has a business that puts magicians in restaurants and has some great advice on this and in general in his 8 dollar penguin lecture.

I like coins in general and have been collecting them since I was a teen. I ask local stores if they get any foriegn coins they want to trade with me in from time to time, living in a touristy area so its not uncommon here. For magic I use; Kennedy half dollars, English pennies or Peace...

It would help to know what effects, tricks, or routines you are performing, also hows your scripting? Otherwise you will get some generic advice like; try being personable, include the spectator in the trick, be interactive so they have an investment.

I own some of Roy's chinese coins and they are great. From what I have seen his other stuff is pretty nice too but I too haven't bought gaff's from him either. No other reason other than I don't need any more duplicates to what I currently have. His coin bend stuff interests me and I have...

I bit off more than I could chew with last years resolution so this year keeping it simpler than last. While last year I improved several of my routines via actualy writing down scripts (holy heck this helps a lot)... I didn't perform for expecting groups (a senior center) as much as I would...

Petty similar experience. I have several turtles from several makers, all cost about the same but only 2 are passable (one oeace dollar and one non silver kennedy). I would say 3 are fine but one of them has that ring on the front thats a tell-tale sign for those in the know. The passable ones...

BoBo's Modern Coin Magic costs between 6 and 10 bucks for an e book or paperback, but that edition lacks some chapters containing routines found in the hardcover version. The hardcover is 45ish I think.... Royal Road to Card Magic is also cheap book (under 10$) thats recommended often as a...

After I posted this I felt the first line was too passive agressive, also it implies that the kids are in your care....which is something I would think is out of your scope in your current position. The wording needs to be massaged a bit!

Wow that sounds great. A friend of mine and my bro in law both work/ed as para educators and both are professional artists, to get the kids to do work/act better they offer to draw soemthing for them in exchange. As para educators they often work with disabled kids or kids who have soicial...

I used to work at a school and had similar issues with the kids following me around after performing some magic. Its happened at carnivals for me as well but both of those situations had some benefits to me that I am now just becoming more aware of due to trying to write a couple lines for you...

All nuance is out the window now....

Very thankful this year for my family and friends past and present. I am excited for all who we will be connecting with this week, in person or otherwise. Very thankful my kids are enjoying hanging out with their older cousins and learning a bout their endeavors in college and the National...

I used to think the snap change was a laughable sleight that appealed to "amatuers" because it is easy to do. Then after seeing it done well in a routine I realised that things like snap changes aren't amatuerish sleights but rather they are often peformed amateurishly by others. I don't use a...

What are you trying to address with this? It can't be an apology... You are just continuing where it was left off but with no change. Meaning it appears as if you are just doubling down and haven't understood why others came in to voice their opinions that run counter to yours. It was lined...

Why can't you post without people telling you are "wrong"....? How you wrote your statements lend to these type of comments, using "absolute" statements certainly the attention of opposing opinions, I mean a strongly worded opinion is often met with the same energy. Reciprocation and all. Try...
