C=B,
Thank you for your comments. Yes, Justin Miller's routine was inspiring to me and it is the core of my routine. I like his initial vanishes. I do not like the last vanish. He says he will not do a false transfer, but then he does-he is explaining the upcoming (and all previous) moves! I certainly will take your comments to heart as I try to improve the impact of the routine. I tried to make the routine self contained for strolling and I am still working on the initial handling (ie whether to remove the stopper and sponge-ball earlier or not).
Cylinder is from theambitiouscard.com
Coin stack is from toddlassen.com Mine is the magnetic stack, but I think a regular (fused) stack is fine.
I just thought I would share my strolling coins & cylinder routine.
Does anyone know which book or video they recommend learning all the moves needed to perform Ramsay's coin and cylinder effect? Thank you!
The original was published in an out of print booklet by Victor Farelli titled John Ramsay's Cylinder and Coins. It sells for around $600.
It was republished in the November 2008 Genii magazine. If you have a subscription, you have access to back issues.
Variations are published in David Roth's Expert Coin Magic, John Carney's Carnecopia and Tom Stone's Maelstorm. Jonathan Townsend has a version in Apocalypse (Volume 5) and Mike Gallo has one in the Collected Almanac. There is a performance on Dan Watkins' Coin Man Walking but Dan doesn't teach his routine.
In addition, I've found references to the following sources which I don't have :
Dai Vernon in The Art of Close-Up Magic, Volume 1
John Carney's DVD “Carney on Ramsay"
Giacomo Bertini’s in New York Coin Magic Seminar, Volume 5
Marc DeSouza in New York Coin Magic Seminar, Volume 6
Mike Gallo’s in New York Coin Magic Seminar DVD, Volume 7
