    Copper/Silver

    Hi There, By set, I'll assume you mean a copper/silver coin. There's literally tons of routines you can do with it. Here's a few to keep you busy. I'll give you the effect, and where it can be found. Curtis Kam's book 'Deceptions in Paradise' has two great effects with it called:1)...

    Coin magic

    If you're looking for some very cool coin stuff that's pretty reasonable in price too, check out "Attack of the Bag" by Craig Petty. The coin bag is a very old tool that Mr. Petty has brought into the new millenium. The DVD will give you a number of wicked routines, and best of all the bag(s)...

    Which Coin Trick?

    If you like Scotch and Soda, check out Hopping Halves. Lots of magic, and you end clean. Check out www.themagicwarehouse.com for a Johnson Set. You can get a set from Lassen, but I don't know how much you're looking to spend. For what it's worth, a Lassen set would be something you'd...

    Ramsay Cylinder and Coins

    I agree. Todd is a regular guy. His work is unsurpassed. I have a non magnetic stack too, and I love it. Actually Todd made them slightly uneven so the stack doesn't look too perfect. To Kenodad. Nice routine, you project in a light hearted manner that I would imagine would warm audiences...

    Coin Magic :: Where To Start?

    All excellent ideas. Every person learns from a different medium. I have a magician friend who cannot learn from a book. So he took the DVD route. I agree with the suggestion of David Roth. He has a 3 volume DVD set called "Expert Coin Magic...Made Easy". I can't say I agree with the "Made...

    Mmm... Coin Bite

    David Roth has a neat idea of putting the folding coin in a funnel. That way the premise is you can't put a coin in a bottle without a funnel. The absurd presentation is actually pretty funny. Anyways, if you can get a funnel farther into the bottle (best to use a stubby bottle rather than a...

    Magic Camp!

    I don't know what Tannen's is like so I can't offer an opinion. I have been a part of Sorcerer's for the past 10 years. To say it's magic overload would be an understatement. There is so much magic going on there are times you need to do something else to prevent what I've heard Michael Ammar...

    Advanced Chink-a-Chink

    Hi Chicken, This is slightly off topic, but Fernando Keops has a DVD that does a chink a chink with dice that's sick. Also check out "Shoot In Hollywood" for some sick matrix type stuff. Dean Dill has some crazy stuff too. "Call Shot" is one of the craziest. If you want to see David Roth do...

    Sweaty Hands... For Coins

    Hey, A quick fix is to wash your hands in icy water. It's short lived, but it'll help you get by. I have heard a few drops of glycerin helps, but I've never tested it myself. I also find the pure silver half dollars (like a 1964 Kennedy) are much more forgiving during times of sweat than...

    Looking for great coin routines

    Well Sypris, I was going to respond, but Morgician put it better than I would have. This isn't about ego, it's about helping other magicians. Using words like "stupid" is of no help to anyone. But hey, it's your post.

    Good Gaffed Coin DVD or Book

    Ooh on a Craig Petty related topic, check out his DVD "Attack of the Bag". Craig has re-introduced magic with the coin bag. The coin bag isn't new, but Craig's approach is, and the material is totally for the worker. A basic working knowledge of coins would help. Not to mention the bag is...

    Unofficial Coin Information

    David Roth's coin magic DVD's are wonderful. They will take you from beginner to expert should you wish to put in the time. I hear a lot of Magician's talk about Bobo's coin magic. Don't get me wrong, it's a wonderful book it's just a dry read. David Roth's book "Expert Coin Magic" is quite...

    Looking for great coin routines

    Really? A post is stupid because I asked the person who wanted the information to be specific? At which point I would happily share? I'm not seeing the stupid part.

    Favorite Shuttle/Clink Passes

    Click Passes David Roth has a nice one where he clips the first coin between his right 2nd and 3rd finger and the coin looks like it tumbles into his left hand. The coin is now perpendicular to his hand so when he picks up the 2nd coin it hits it on the way by. Dan Harlan places one on his...

    Three Fly

    Lee Asher also has a 3 Fly called "3 Stylin'" It uses poker chips. It's very good, and it's umgimmicked. Of your list above, I owned #4 and actually sold it. You can do just as nice a 3 fly with no gimmicks for a fraction of the cost. Check out Trio by Gary Kurtz. It can be found in his...

    Shadow Coins

    You know, there are other effects of a similar nature that are I feel are worthy of your consideration. Check out Dean Dill's "Call Shot". It's nuts. It'll make you feel like a layperson. That's the highest praise I can give it. Two fish are in a tank. One says to the other, "You man the...

    Good Gaffed Coin DVD or Book

    Hey, I agree with Glenn, check out ExTROYdinary by Troy Hooser. Actually taking it further check out Troy's book "DesTROYers", and the "Silver Surf II". Both have outstanding work on flippers and shells. There's enough information to keep you busy for quite some time. Homer Liwag's...

    Help with gaffs

    Here's something of a gaff that you may not have considered. I attended the IBM/SAM combined convention this year. There was a fellow from the UK named Craig Petty. He was doing some coin effects with this little velvet bag that absolutely floored me. So impressed I was that I bought his DVD...

    David Roth : The Best in the Business

    The wacky part about David Roth's techniques are they look exactly the same on a DVD as they look in real life. I've had the privilege of attending a workshop with him. His technique is truly flawless. There's actually a cool youtube video of him on the David Letterman show. I don't have the...
