This is a strong one coin routine requiring a shell. The coin repeatedly penetrates your hand.

Recorded live at the Convention at the Capital 1999.

runtime: 6min 52s

Snap your fingers to produce during the snap a coin at your finger tips. Greg does this three times and then vanishes the coins one by one.

The move to produce a coin while snapping is Doug Wick's Snap Production.

Recorded live at the Convention at the Capital 2000.

runtime: 13min 13s

Originally written for Genii Magazine as a "one-handed Wild Coin," this effect is direct, startling, and fast-paced. It requires the following props:

• Three Chinese Coins
• A Copper/Silver coin
• One odd coin. (Gregg uses an Israeli Shekel, but any coin will work)
• An ordinary cup

David Roth was fooled when Gregg Webb showed him this smooth gallop of visual coin magic. Required are four matching ungimmicked coins. Also required is the ability to classic palm two coins, and release one.

The following effect, Twist and Untwist, enables you to practice and perform your "Steeplechase" coin roll with impunity - no more worries of dropping the coin.

This startling coin routine, "Three-Way Spellbound with Kicker," enables you to casually display a coin at your fingertips and magically change it into several other coins one-at-a-time. In the end, a silver dollar appears from out-of-nowhere as a surprise kicker.

• Simple standard coins sleights are employed at each phase.
• Required are a copper-silver gaff and a silver dollar.

A clean and fast transposition of two poker chips.

Only two poker chips are used - nothing extra is required. This trick is based on an original coin effect by Sol Stone, to whom this ebook is dedicated.

"Love the poker chip transposition. Easy to do and really practical -- it's a good example of why and when to use the Spellbound Change. This is a quick trick I'll use." - Ed Brown

Gregg Webb discusses some aspects of coin magic that have bothered him for a long time. How to best get rid of an extra coin without arousing suspicion? What is the problem with the Bobo Switch? Why do Jumbo Coins make no sense? What to do about the disappearance of the Half Dollar, the basis of so much classic coin magic?

Gregg Webb shows how he incorporates a glove into some of his coin work. Some gloves are unprepared others are gimmicked.

1st edition 2022, PDF 3 pages.

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.

"Giacomo Does some of the finest and most innovative magic I have ever seen." - David Roth

"On our recent European tour, Roth and I were fortunate to spend time with someone who has techniques that will ROCK the coin magic world." - Michael Rubinstein

"Bertini's coin magic is not like anything I have ever witnessed in well over half a century of doing coin magic. It is nothing short of incredible. It truly looks like 'real magic.' All of his techniques are ground-breaking and far more refined than anything I have ever seen anyone else do before." - Harvey Rosenthal

"Bertini is the...

This is his version of a classic routine, without the use of a wand. Many useful techniques are taught here, but it will be a challenge to accomplish. A very well constructed routine that shows the hand empty from time to time. Plenty of subtle convincers here. Advanced level. For stand-up workers.

On November 26th and 27th 2010 the first European Close-Up Magic Symposium, focusing purely on coin magic, brought 16 magicians from all over the world to Milan for two days of non-stop coin magic, with lectures and performances, private sessions and gala shows. The routines in this volume among the best and shot live at the symposium, are very impressive and strong. Expect some knuckle busters as most of the contributors in this volume are the best names in the coin magic genre. All routines, except two (as noted), are complete with performance and explanation.

GIACOMO BERTINI: "Cylinder & Chips"
This is his easy version of the famous coin routine. Giacomo uses poker chips instead of coins and his own gimmick, which you can buy from him. He created this routine for professional use, such as when working at event dinners, and in any difficult situation, anywhere. The effect is amazing, like the classical version, but in this case, the routine is really easy to perform, and the hands are really empty, in front of the spectators. Very beautiful routine for stand-up workers. Beginner level.

"Within the inner circle of coin magic, the work of Giacomo Bertini has been known and respected for years." - Stephen Minch

1st edition 2020, length 10 min 20s.

Forget for a moment what you know about classic theory, and discover a different way to look at misdirection, particularly in the world of video clips and zoom meetings. Bertini demonstrates how this applies to coin magic, but the concept remains valid for any type of close-up magic.

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!

...

Two hands off and impromptu effects you'll do for the rest of your life at any moment notice, and every time you'll meet somebody because they are fun to perform, simple and practical.

"Man both routines are very very clever! I love them! Especially the heads and tails one!!! I definitely use them! Well done mate!" - Romanos, creator of GERTI/Silver swindle

This ebook is a combination of the simplest plots you can perform in Magic: HEADS or TAILS? and WHICH HAND? They can be done separately as well.
