Hey guys,
I've recently started working on coin magic after working with cards for just over a year now...and I'm finding it quite difficult!
Whereas with cards, it was fairly easy to pick up and perform (because with cards, even with a sloppy double undercut or double lift as a beginner, you can get by, because the audience really doesn't know that things like a DL/DU even exist)
With coins, it seems you have to be *perfect* with your sleights, your timing, your fluidity. A sloppy palm gets noticed, a coin hitting another accidentally gets heard.
I know there's some phenomenal coin workers out there. I'm looking to improve my coinwork, is there any advice you could give to a beginner? I mean, I know I should work on my palms, vanishes, routines, etc...but is there anything you should particularly focus on?
By the way, I'm learning from "In the beginning there were coins" (Noblezada) and working on Tom Stone's One Coin Opener too.
Hopefully this thread helps other coin magic beginners out there too!
