    Coin color change

    I used to work at a casino in the count room and as a cashier for a bit and found many cool coins and bills there. When we found something we would set it aside and buy it out of the till later. Finding odd coins is still a hobby of mine and I always ask cashiers if they have anything when I buy...

    Kids in coin magic

    Moritz Mueller. I am not sure he is a teen anymore....but he was pretty darn good at 15. You could probably find him on youtube but on some magic sites he also has an instructional download simply called "One coin routine".

    Gimmicks vs sleight of hand (coins)

    You will end dirty often when using a gimmick or sleight of hand...but neither necessarily prevents people from handing out the coins at the end. You don't have to hand out the coins all the time either, don't run if you are not being chased. But there are many tricks that put the coins in the...

    Beginner magician tips

    I found that some moves I was avoiding or didn't think much of in the beginning were quite foundational and took some time to make look good. For instance holding a break surprised me in how I had to get used to holding it in a way thats not obvious and I underestimated how useful an injog or...

    coin magic

    There is lots of downloads that have decent material but a few are a head above the others in my opinion. I like the stuff by Kianoa Harbottle, he is a teacher by trade so he seems to know how to teach reasonably well. His latest lecture is decent, I enjoy his stuff with click passes and his...

    Name your favorite lecture

    Its hard to pick a favorite for me since some lectures cover some aspects better than others. I guess it depends what you want from the lecture....just discussing live at the table lectures here; Kainoa Harbottle's last couple of lectures are pretty good. Either of his last 2 are decent and...

    Advice needed: what is best slight to pretending to turn coin over but switching it out?

    I think a slight bit more context is needed. I mean any shuttle pass you will have a coin in each hand when you are done...if thats not what you want then maybe ending up with both coins in the same hand? Eric Jones in his 2016 Murphy's Live at the Table Lecture has a handling of the 'tenkai...

    When do I get a new deck?

    If I am learning new moves that can be tough on cards I go through a deck in a couple weeks. I get easily a month per Bicycle deck now but I haven't been doing anything too rough on the deck either. I also rotate decks and that seems to make a deck last longer. After a week or two, or earlier...

    Agree or Disagree?

    ^^^pretty much that feeling^^^ Jay is leaning heavily on the rhetoric here with what constitutes "fooling". The show doesn't publicly state a concrete definition here and some magicians mess around with it skewing things in their favor, Jay is not alone here. However where other magicians have...

    A question for anyone who runs Pitch & Ditch in their set.

    Thats a nice lecture, its good to watch him get busted and how he gets out of it. Not a cure all but worked in those situations. Some decent tricks on there too, Pitch n ditch is great and is one of my goto's if someone asks for a trick. How to get your shirt out of the way... I adjust my...

    Steve Forte teachings

    I probably hit the same sites you did when searching for Steve's stuff. Steve may not be the teacher on the tutorials or author of the books but you can search by the moves you want to learn. Jason England here at T11 has some decent tutorials. Sal Piacente also has some decent stuff on...

    How can I get the most from magic books?

    Still a newbie here but I like to read the effects in the books (not the explanations) to narrow it down to a few I would like to try out. I then take my choices and go through the books description as it is written, to assist this I find doing it as I am reading each line helps keep the...

    Second Deal Trouble

    I've noticed my second deals are nicer when the deck is missing a small packet. I have been doing my seconds with a pack missing about 10 cards and plan to add more cards when what I got now looks better. I do the strike deal btw. I don't know if that will help you or not but thought it...
