The book "Monedas y otras historias" by Luis Piedrahita has been translated by Noah Levine and Publish in English by the Conjuring Arts Research Center. I´ve read it in Spanish and it has very good stuff. Some of the routines you´ve seen this guy doing on TV to Miley Cyrus, Justin Timberlake, Andrew Garfield, Jesse Eisenberg, Jamie Cullum... ¡Very powerful coin work!

I took this information from Luis Piedrahita instagram. Hope is true. |

I have had the Spanish version of this since 2013. Difficult for a non Spanish speaker to read. I am excited about the English version. Conjuring Arts Research Center is selling, just went up. The English title is "Coins and Other Fables". Luis is a phenomenal magician. His coin work is off the charts. Find it here https://shop.conjuringarts.org/store/m/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=1433&idcategory=204,

I just ordered my copy. It is going for $59.00 with free shipping in the USA , will start shipping the first week in December. I was expecting a better price for Black Friday, but that being said, I’m sure it will be worth it. I’m interested in reading the “new sleights” and his “essays on magic theory”. I am hoping his coin box routine is in the the book, but I did not recognize it in the content list, in the book description. Alas, now the wait and see. Take Care and Happy Thanksgiving to All.

I thought they would have a Black Friday or pre-pub price. Wondering if a lot of gaffs are needed or just some basic ones, probably wait for some reviews. Luis is a monster coin worker.

Hi Magic42¡ I have the Spanish version. I don't remember any coin box routine in the book. Sorry. Which one are you talking about? I remember him doing a very good one in the Daortiz Live lecture
Hi Tomg! The gaffs needed are the basics. Shell for the most of the tricks, moon coin for one or two, flipper coin, the Ramsay stack if you wanna do the TP tube routine... and I remember a 4 in one set for one trick. The Spanish version is great. I think the English one is exactly the same |

I just received this book as a gift on Friday. I have seen many youtube videos of his performing style. This book is very well put together and of high quality. As for the material within, a quick skim of the layout and explanations, it appears to be very well thought out routines with some interesting adaptations of coin slights. I am looking forward to sitting down with this book and some coins over the next few weeks.

Still haven't had time to unwrap it yet.
I have built quite the magic library, but like so many others it can grow faster than I can absorb! I'll zip it open now!

Well got curious so made another tea and opened it up.
I agree with magicmind. It is of good quality. I love the font size is easy to read. Slightly larger than so many other books. And it has a built in ribbon bookmark! It starts out with some storytelling and gets into techniques and then some illusions. Though I have only skimmed them. I'm happy with it and think it will be a good book to go through. It wil hve to wazit a bit, I have also received my Vernon monster pack of dvds and some books I wanted to wade through. The "V" section of my library is taking over a whole shelf. And understandably so!
