Product Description
Product Description
The magician who can pull money out of thin air is a guaranteed hit with any audience. Magic with coins is amongst the most fascinating and audience - appealing of impromptu tricks, or close-up magic. Money has a natural fascination for every individual, and the performer who can make money magically appear or multiply, vanish or change, penetrate through tables and brass boxes has the advantage of working with a prop of everyday interest. This is the classic work on coin magic, by an acknowledged master of the subject. With 510 illustrations, this book details over one hundred coin sleights and moves, and 236 coin tricks of every conceivable nature. A virtual encyclopaedia on the subject, the book covers tricks with ordinary coins, gimmicked or trick coins, special coin boxes like the Okito and Boston Coin Box, and much, much more. If there is a coin routine in existence, it is in this book, or has its roots in this work. It is a must for anyone interested in magic with coins.

Format:Paperback
This really is a good book, easy to understand with excellent diagrams. The tricks inside really do work and really do impress, some of them are very easy to master and others are not, meaning that you can enjoy the book for quite a while as you gradually improve your skills. It is not however the final word in coin magic I have found that some of the sleights mention can be better executed in other ways, but this is just down to personal preference and others may disagree.

Format:Paperback
Beware; serious coin manipulation with real coins requires practice and skill. This book covers just about every move and trick you can perform with coins including the use of trick coins and full performance routines. "Some" tricks can be done immediately. I have amazed many people with the coin through a hanky routine. A stunning trick that can be learnt in minutes. The book is worth the cost for this one trick alone. The book is a small paperback, with hand drawn illustrations. No big glossy pictures - just facts. Absolutely loads of stuff and a lifetime of reading (and practicing). Recommended to me by a magician, who astounded me into rushing out and buying it. You'll never learn everything in it, but from a clumsy novice - to a dextrous expert, everyone will learn from this valuable resource. - The bible. !

Concise and doable.
Okay, it's a fact, not everyone's hands are the same size/shape, and I'm the kind of person who struggles to do anything dexterous, having stubby fingers and fairly meaty palms. Read more
