Hi Guys - In the corporate world, websites like glassdoor.com or monster.com provide salary ranges by profession and location. For our magic market, there isn't an index or any market research that indicates the average rate for specific magic markets. My goal is to fix that and provide a...

I've been working with the Crimp and a series of changes using the Crimp palm and MB's application of the Crimp Change. The spellbound moves have a lot more control over the standard thumb palm approach. Here is the blog post and video...

I've been playing with a 3 coin version of the classic coins through table effect. Anyone think using 4 coins is just overkill? I did post a few tips on Coins Through Table that I picked up from the local magic club...

If you're looking for a great vanish, take a look at Vinny Marini's Rice Krispies Vanish. Its rare that you actually get a quality tutorial via YouTube, but Vinny has prepared a useful retention vanish http://www.coinmagictricksblog.com/learn-coin-magic-tricks/rice-krispies-vanish/ Its a...

You didn't necessarily mess up if you appreciate coin magic but Ponta's DVD is one heck of a challenge. I enjoy watching it and find it difficult to do the moves and incorporate them into a full presentation. If you are new to Coin Magic, the suggestions on In The Beginning There Were Coins...

Re: Classic Palm Hurts - A better option Hey Gaurav - Based on the classic palm questions and feedback, I'd recommend using a different sleight such as: Try using a finger palm with a "take" vanish and you'll have a more fluid and less cramped approach. Try using a fingertip vanish...

Howdy - I got these DVDs earlier this month and started divining into the material. Have any of you worked with the material? If so, what is your favorite volume? I posted a review and an interview with Dr. Michael Rubinstein on the blog...

Does anyone do Bearden's Presto Chango from Bobo's Coin Magic? I've been playing with Presto Chango from Bobo's (Chapter 9, page 245) and working on a different story angle. The patter in the Bobo version seems rather trite...

Has anyone picked up Metal yet? I've been working through Metal for the past week and have been enjoying the material. I really like the Jones Spellbound routine. I posted an entire review at http://www.coinmagictricksblog.com/product-reviews/coin-magic-trick-review-metal-by-eric-jones/...

Regarding PC1 Coin and Pen Routine - Premise? Hi - Congrats on putting your magic out there in the world of YouTube! (I like the Spiderman / Hulk picture in the background) As for the effect, let me start by asking "What is the premise" of the effect? One of the lessons I learned about...

Take a look at the classic "Kort is Now in Session" by Milt Kort. He has a practical coin bend that works! Andy Coin Magic Tricks Blog

If there is one coin trick that I do, its Ron Bauer's handling of Gadabout Coins Revisited. His handling is the one to learn as in the last phase, you don't have 3 coins all going into the pocket at the same time. You can successfully place 1 coin in the pocket without much noise (as there is...

My preference are Barber Half Dollars since I use then in a specific coin magic trick. They are usually worn and soft so it works perfectly with Gadabout Coins Revisited. I've also been working with Morgan silver dollars but they can get expensive. I do have several walking liberties that...

What sources do you use for morgans, barbers, etc? With the price of silver, it can get expensive for a 4 coin set. Andy Coin Magic Tricks Blog

I bought both the dollar and half dollar size I recently ordered 2 of the dollar sized coins and 2 of the half dollar sized coins. I'm happy with the purchase and the dollar size work well with a spellbound change. I've also been playing with Hellbound Spellbound using both dollars and...

Yep...that was my submission Yep...that was my submission to the Magiciansklub contest Andy

Hey Guys - When I posted the demo of this effect, it is indeed targeted more for magicians when you introduce the trick as "how REAL magicians practice sleight of hand". That's how Milt Kort used to introduce the trick to magicians since it is a play on a magician's ego. When I do this for...

Take a look at Rune Klan's 1 Coin routine Rune Klan has an entertaining 1 coin routine in his Rune's World book. I've been playing with the handling and its a lot of fun to work with. It also incorporates a pen, but if that violates the "One Coin" routine rule, then you'd be missing out on...

What reactions do you get with this trick? To present it as a 3 coin mystery where they just vanish seems to leave the audience kinda flat. When he introduces the trick by saying he always likes "Carnival Games" it has no connection to the 3 coins vanishing. It doesn't matter if you vanish 1...
