5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, 29 Aug 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Modern Coin Magic: 116 Coin Sleights and 236 Coin Tricks (Dover Magic Books) (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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Must Buy, for serious magicians., 17 Dec 2002

Dave (Morecambe, Lancashire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Modern Coin Magic: 116 Coin Sleights and 236 Coin Tricks (Dover Magic Books) (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. !

M. Hatter "Mark Hatter" (Brighton UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Modern Coin Magic: 116 Coin Sleights and 236 Coin Tricks (Dover Magic Books) (Paperback)

If you are new to magic this a great way to start. With great illustrations and descriptions, this makes learning sleights and other techniques easy. For advanced magicians, this book is an essential reference guide. Good work
