A small plastic tub with a tight push-on lid is shown, opened, and a collection of coins tipped from inside. The performer puts his initials on a self-adhesive round sticker, attaches it to one of the coins, and then repeats the process for the other side of the coin with a sticker bearing a spectator's initials.
The rest of the coins are returned to the tub and the lid is pushed back on. Taking the marked coin into his hand the performer strikes it against the bottom of the container, immediately showing that both his hands are empty.
The tub is handed to a spectator who prises off...
Two coins are tipped from a purse and are placed apart on the table. They are then covered by two playing cards. With no apparent moves the two coins are suddenly found together under one of the cards. Replacing them apart again, they are covered once more. Again the two coins magically jump together under one card. Finally, one coin is placed back into the purse and the other is covered by the two cards. Instantly it vanishes and is found inside the purse with the first coin.
This sleight-of-hand effect requires no gimmicks and must be worked on a close-up mat. You will only require some...
You show two buttons, one in each hand, but magically one moves into your other hand despite your hands being separated.
The two short videos will explain to you a little preparation you will have to do to the buttons and the move to accomplish the deception.
This is essentially the same as Tenkai Pennies except here you will learn how to prepare the buttons to make it much easier to do.

Four coin routines that do not require any gimmicks.
Cash Withdrawal - a spectator marks one of five coins with his initials and the chosen coin is dropped into an envelope and left in view. The other four coins are held in a spectator's closed fist. Instantly the envelope is torn up and the vanished signed coin is found in amongst the other four coins in the onlooker's closed hand.
Seeker Coin - a freely selected (and signed if you wish) card is shuffled back into the deck which is boxed. A coin, which is marked with a spectator's initials, vanishes and when the pack is removed from the...
Show an empty bottle (with or without contents) and borrow a coin. Wrap this coin in some paper and place it on the lid of the bottle. Take a lighter (can be borrowed) and light the paper. The coin visibly penetrates the lid of the bottle and lands inside the bottle. The bottle can be examined immediately and given away as a souvenir.

At long last this booklet of seven new routines for use with your Chinatown Quarter (they also work with the Chinatown Half and Chinatown Dollar) is once again available. Leave it to the fertile mind of "Hen" Fetsch to come up with these clever money mysteries with which you can enchant most any audience. Get that Chinatown quarter, half or dollar coin you already own out of your magic drawer and put it to use.

A deck of cards is spread and freely displayed back and front. Four cards are selected at random by a spectator and then placed in a fan on the table. A snap of the fingers and when the fan is lifted, four coins are seen to have instantly appeared underneath.
As a lead in to a four coin matrix routine this is ideal as it creates an unexpected and sleight free intro. You just need a regular deck, which you need to prepare once (takes about 15 minutes), and four small coins (10ps or US quarters).
Remember – no palming or sleight of hand is required.

Here's something that will enhance your reputation and make you appear to have great skills. A one-coin routine that is within range of anyone. It showcases a conceit that David Copperfield liked well enough to introduce in one of his later TV specials. Unlike other routines, it is easily mastered. It includes a concise video tutorial.

A unique approach to the extraction of the last coin from cord for a Charming Chinese Challenge Routine or similar magic presentation.
The extraction occurs in the hands of two spectators after being inspected by several others as the coin being actually on the cord. This end-phase is cleaner and "stronger magic" than traditional methods but does require mastering new sleights and experienced audience management skills.
NEW END EFFECT:
A single Chinese coin swings from the end of a doubled cord like a pendulum following a series of effects where a coin was magically extracted for the...
A card is selected and signed by the audience and is lost back in the deck. A coin is signed by the audience and placed on top of the deck. With a wave of your hand and the coin vanishes from the top and appears above their signed card in the middle of the deck.

The idea for this routine came after I read Derek Dingle's Silver Quick routine in Apocalypse (Sept. 1978) which was a sort of coins across into a spectator's hand. I played around with the Dingle routine for a while but I felt I would not be able to use it commercially, although I liked the idea of something happening with the coins in a spectator's hands. After much experimentation and change, Slo-Mo was put together and is the routine I have been using with lay people ever since. I hope you like it.

16 visual standup coin effects.
"If you're looking for standup manipulation ideas, Coins! is worth checking out." - Michael Close
"...several very visual coin effects, suitable for standup performances. Recommended." - Phil Willmarth
This is a quintessential Slydini routine, a tour-de-force of misdirection combined with lapping, secret takes, and drops. A single coin miraculously vanishes and reappears several times. It almost seems to be melting away between the fingers of the performer.
Dennis will teach you all the details - essentially the same way how Slydini taught him. Additionally, you will get recollections and stories of how it was studying under Slydini in his apartment. It is a great way to learn this wonderful routine.
1st edition 2023, video 40 min.
Dennis Barlotta, aka D. Angelo Ferri, was a long-time student of Slydini and is today the most authentic and respected teacher of magic the Slydini way. In this set of two videos, he will teach a classic of magic, the Coins Through the Table exactly how Slydini performed it. It requires six silver coins and one contrasting coin, a copper coin, a ring, or similar.
Dennis will teach you not only the mechanics and sleights but also the tempo, the script, and the details of the psychology. All of these factors come together into a beautiful deception.

Invisiblair is a coin holdout with improvements. It is made of a synthetic material that is invisible even closeup. You will receive instructions on how to make this holdout, not the holdout itself. The hookup and basics of making a coin appear and vanish are described but no larger routines. For effects and routines with Invisiblair see Michael's other publications.

The coin rolls on.
Tired of those sissified Coins Through the Table routines? Do you get an itchy trigger finger when someone says: "Would you like to see my unique handling of Matrix"? Have you sat through a Coins Across presentation that was so complex that even the magician got lost? Are we not men? Then what we need is Silver II. Packed with the bizarre. The common stuff got weeded out in the first edit.

This prize is then guarded by a fourth spectator as three other guests decide on the order of the chips in the imaginary stack. When your hand opens it contains three actual poker chips in the exact color order chosen by the spectators....

This is self-working coin mentalism without any coin sleights, magnets, threads, shells etc and the coin can be freely handled by the participants before, during and after the routines. This is in the...
An amazingly beautiful master coin act performed to music.
I am very happy to show and explain this routine. This is a new version of my original routine, Florentine Assembly. I think this version is definitely better than the original one. At the beginning of the routine, I added a new production of 4 coins, using new techniques I have created in the last years. Very importantly: you'll find a new method for the final climax of the Jumbo coin. And thanks to this amazing method, and with this new version, the routine becomes a "coin- act", which can be presented live in any situation!

A classic routine explained in detail with almost 50 photographs.
Excerpt from the preface by John Ramsay:
It is now over fifty years since I started to experiment with the Cap and Pence trick, and I have worked out several methods of using the standard apparatus.
The present routine, lucidly and minutely explained by Victor Farelli, is not the result of a "brain wave" it was gradually evolved by a process of trial and error, and I trust that the reader will decide to study it thoroughly and that he will add it to his programme.
For the last thirty years, or more, it has been one...
If you enjoy simple to do magic that never requires a re-set and which you can do anytime, anywhere, you will love this two-stage routine using a 10p and a £2 coin. (Any two coins of different sizes can be used for this effect.)
Both coins are borrowed from spectators and placed into your fist. The 10p is openly removed, shown freely and genuinely placed away in your pocket. Instantly it jumps back to your hand to join the £2.
Then the £2 is removed, but instead of both coins reappearing in the hand, they both vanish and are produced from the pocket. Very clean handling, easy to do,...
In Triplets 3 - The All Coin Issue, Gregg describes a platform version of Hanging Coins with 3 coins so that it fits in with 3-Fly for those that do that trick. Also, the last coin actually vanishes instead of just being held at the fingertips as in the Roth original.
Next is a routine that looks like a standard Han Ping Chien trick but in reality is done by a completely different method - Pseudo HPC.
A routine using the Nokito Box which is described in David Roth's book Expert Coin Magic. A second ending is provided using a regular Okito Box.
Finally, a new feature, Magic News, has...
This can easily be the strongest coin effect you ever perform. Coin to glass? No, much more than that in impact and impossibility. Can be an opener, closer, or blend in with other coin effects.
The simple story - the one observers will tell afterward.
On the table you have a bar glass and three coins selected by audience members. Empty hands gesture everyone closer. Now find a glass at the fingertips of the left hand and three coins on the right fingers. A shake and a clink is heard as a coin arrives in the glass. That coin is poured out and two coins placed on the table. The left fingers...
A coin effects enhancement mission.
This material provides an involving adventure into the creation of new performance modules as an enhancement for coin effects.
So, just imagine ... You have two empty hands (wiggle-wiggle) and a couple of coins on a table. Maybe they are borrowed or spectator selected from a basket. Three half-dollars – yeah, nothing else. You pick up one coin with your right fingers and drop it into your left open palm. You select a second coin to join the first – see it fall, clink! Two coins now visible on the left palm. Your right fingers claim the final coin...
Excerpt from the Foreword:
This is a book about the close-up magic of Bobby Bernard ... There have not been too many books in the past on close-up as opposed to those devoted purely to sleights. Hugard brought out a great little book on the subject in the Thirties, and two decades later Bert Allerton's book was splendid. But now we have another book, which we feel sure will become a classic of its kind. The book which you hold contains a wealth of moves, tricks and routines, from which any discerning reader could select a repertoire likely to gain him a reputation.
Of particular interest is section 3 with several short essays and opinions on...
A collection of innovative coin sleights and moves based on the PalmerClip palming technique, inspired by Bill Palmer's gaffless Scotch'n Soda routine. (with permission)
Originally used as an alternative to classic palm for crippled hands, several new sleights and applications evolved that allow for astonishment not possible by standard methods. You will learn: PalmerClip, PCSlip, PCLay, PCPIck, PCDrop and PCSteal plus suggested applications and an effect called Bangle.
Imagine being able to show both hands completely empty after a coin transfer, or between phases of a coins across routine. Photos...
Borrow a coin from a spectator, have the coin signed, and then have the coin penetrate a filled water bottle. The coin that magically enters the water bottle is truly the borrowed and signed coin. There is no switch of the coin. There is no duplicate coin. The coin that is given to you is the one that ends up inside the water bottle.
The water bottle is gimmicked in a novel way. The video demonstrates how the bottle needs to be gimmicked. It is not that hard to do, but it will require some care and supplies you may not have around the house. Once the coin has entered the bottle, the bottle...
