Hi Troy!

Based on your years of performing coin magic, what are the 2 or 3 effects that you believe consistently amaze audiences? Or, put another way what are the most visual, hard hitting effects using coins?

thanks!

Most visual, and hard hiiting coin effects I like my ExTROYdinary routine , my coins thru table which is very basic and the Charming Chinese Challenge. Also any copper silver routine is great anything to involve a spectator where the magic happens in their hands or with them. I use to perform Gary Kurtz body heat routine from his book, for me that was a strong routine when working. I think you would get a different answer from each magician, the ones I named are my favorites.

Troy, Do you usually perform effects from other magicians or only your own?

-Mark Tirone

Yes I do perform other magicians effects. If its strong I'll use it. Always looking for something.

Hi Troy, do you find that your Charming Chinese challenge has more impact with women rather than men or have you honed it so it makes no difference?

I don't think it makes a difference for me. I never set out to target the trick for women, are you getting more of a reaction from women.

I have only just started playing with the routine and will take it out next week and see the reaction.
The reason I ask is that I know from my point of view some magic works better for men - ie. certain card tricks etc - because they can relate to the medium and not feel intimidated.
I'll let you know once it has been road tested.......
