Hi guys!
Just wanted to let you know that I'm making some new ebooks available on my site. The first one is already there on the books page. MB wrote his review of it in the coin forum--you can read it here: http://www.themagiccafe.com/forums/viewt......orum=3&4 The book contains 13 of my best routines excerpted from my long out of print books. I've added a lot of new handlings, additional phases, and lots of extra tips and finesses. Some of the oruitnes were extensively re-written. The book is profusely photo-illustrated. I'd like to hear what you guys think about it. The first 50 who buy it get an extra $10 toward any of the downloads on my site. Thanks, Scott PS: In the very near future I'll be adding three more new books on my site, so keep your eyes peeled!

Review:
My Best to You Volume 2: Coins by Scott Guinn (Ebook) http://www.scottfguinn.com Scott has put together 13 of his best routines for this ebook and let me say your in for a treat !!!!!! Every routine taught is from Scott¡¯s working repertoire tested and worked work out through the years to perfection. He starts off with a trick called ¡°Sucker Trick¡± and how sweet it is. You have a sucker and a dime the dime penetrates the sucker a few times then sticks to the sucker then at the end the dime goes right through the wrapper to be stuck inside. The only way to get the dime out is to open the wrapper. Strong magic for walk around. Next is Scott¡¯s take on Coins to cup ¡°Glass Action Suit¡± is a coins to cup with every coin that travels is done in a totally different way then the next for the final all the coins travel at once. Let me not forget if you don¡¯t have a cup handy Scott shows you how to do it in the spectators hand. Now that¡¯s in your face magic. You continue on your journey with the next routine called ¡°Wormhole¡± Just awesome is all I can say, any time you add props to your coin magic you have a winner in my book. You have a 5 inch ring and a coin when the coin goes into the ring it becomes invisible you take it out its visible you do this a few times in different ways, then at the end you make one last toss of the coin into the ring and the coin becomes 3 inches in size right before your eyes. I love it !!!!! It reminds me of my Somthin Nothin Routine. Don¡¯t put that 5 inch ring away just yet because the next routine taught is ¡°Into the Fourth Dementia¡± Here you have three silver coins and one by one you pick up a coin and drop it into the 5inch ring but when the coin lands on the table it has changed into copper, the second goes the same way but the third well it has issues and only one side changes into copper. If you want a different take on a Wild coin or Spellbound routine then this is it. ¡°Eye Con¡± is next up, if you work restaurant then this one routine could be all you need. This is a multiphase routine where it could be stooped at any of the phases in case the food comes and it will feel the routine is over.. One of my long time favorites from Scott is next. ¡°Pouched CSB¡± this is Scott¡¯s take on the Copper/Silver/Brass If your looking for a C/S/B routine I would give this a try for sure. Very Strong magic through out the routine and at the end all coins are examinable. Everything is done right in the open, no going to your pockets like most of the routines out there for this gimmick. Go put your shoes on we need to go to the barn next for ¡°Sheep and Thieves¡± Here is a complete, multi-phase routine based on the classic ¨DThieves and Sheep plot. No standard patter line here, instead he chooses to go with a pseudo-scientific explanation of how the copper coins have a negative charge and the silver coins a positive charge, causing them to repel each other. This routine is relatively easy to do. It is structured to put the audience at ease when you¡®re dirty, and at the end you are clean and everything can be examined! ¡°North American Jumping Coins¡± is next on the list. Do you ever use that Scotch and Soda gaff anymore¡Â..I¡¯ll say probably not. Well its time to get it back out and dust it off because you¡¯ll need it for this slick coins across routine. Who what¡¯ve thought Scotch and Soda for Coins across. Its time to get the table out so we can do ¡°UN Coins thru Table¡± Three coins are set on the table; a Mexican twenty-centavo, an English Penny, and a US Eisenhower dollar. One by one they penetrate the table top. This can be done while standing !!!!!!! If your willing to put in some time with this one you¡¯ll have a great Coins thru table routine. Its time to steal your Wifes, Moms, or Girlfriends nail polish and empty it out. We need to do ¡°Struck, Packed, & Pitched¡± This is a coin in bottle done and presented in a totally different way, who says everybody know about that trick. That might be so that¡¯s why we need to present them in different ways to throw them off. You borrow a quarter and cause it to magically penetrate inside a small bottle with its lid still firmly screwed on. You remove the lid. The neck of the bottle is clearly far to small to extract the coin. Yet you take a tweezers, insert the nose into the bottle and grip the coin, and visually extract the coin through the bottle¡®s neck. The coin is immediately returned, and you are absolutely clean! Can you say WTF if you can¡¯t that¡¯s OK because your spectators will after you perform this baby. In this next routine Scott is really wanting you to take out some old gaffs ¡°Shelled, Folded, & Hooked¡± The Hanging Coins¡¬ plot is one of the neo-classics of coin magic. Here is Scott¡¯s very simple and straightforward handling of this effect. If John Ramsey could see this he would be proud. Scott goes into another classic The Cap and Pence plot, He calls this ¡°Stacked, Waxed, & Huacked¡± Seven quarters are introduced and fairly shown on all sides. The quarters are placed in a stack on the back of hand. A dollar bill, folded so that it forms a cylinder, is placed over the stack of coins. You make a mystic pass over the covered coins and then instruct the spectator to carefully lift the bill with their other hand. To their amazement the coins have magically changed into US copper pennies! Your hands are empty and everything may be examined! Now a ebook of this magnitude would¡¯nt be complete without a one Coin Routine. ¡°Great Scott¡¯s Flurry¡± is a thing of beauty. It would have to considering all these guys has a influence in this routine David Roth, John Ramsay, Slydini, David Harkey, Michael Ammar, John Bannon, Bob Kohler, Dai Vernon, Gary Ouellet and Max Malini I can¡¯t recommend this Ebook enough it has alittle of everything in it. Nothing is to hard to do but it will take practice. Scott goes into great depth on explaining and crediting everybody involved. Tim
Mean people SUCK!!!!!!!

I was going to write a review but Tim covered it all -- and more!
because of the depth of the explanations it was easy for me to modify a couple of these 'coin wonders' to fit my style and fumbly hands. Everyone will learn a couple of moves they can also use with other effects -- and will ... a bonus to all of Scott's eBooks.
