So I am compiling a list of the various basic categories of coin tricks. Here is what I have so far:
Coins Across -coins across -coins through table -three fly -gadabout coins -coins to glass, purse, pocket, etc. Spellbound -spellbound -copper/silver transpo Matrix -cards and coins -chink-a-chink Coins and Silk -vanishes and reproductions -penetrations Vanish and Reproduction -hanging coins -exTROYdinary -miser's dream -etc. Coin Box Magic Specific Gimmicks -coin in bottle -$1.35 trick -Scotch and Soda -etc. Transformations -jumbo coins -dollar to two halves to four quarters etc. Mental -coin in hand -guessing the date of a coin -chosen coin has an "X" on it Keep in mind of course that this is just a sketch of coin magic. I left many things out and I had a tough time deciding which category some things should be in. It was also tough to decide how specific to be. basically, I'm doing this because I figure that if I can learn one trick from each major category I will have a solid foundation in coin magic with which to build up my repertoire. please make additions to my list =) Stedwick |

Multiplications
-Miser's Dream -Explosion -Slick Splits Penetrations -Chinese coin(s) on string Transpositions -CSB -2 copper/ 1 silver Coinbending -bent Penny -silver shifter And if you read Art of Astonishment you'll see quite some routines that defy any catagory, leave it up to Paul Harris...my favorite; Twilight!

Okay, you might want to add:
Animation: Coin answers questions by jumping up and down in a glass Penny dropped into a glass of beer rises to the top Half dollar set onto surface of drink floats, then sinks on command Selected Penny of about 20 crawls out of pile Levitation: Coin defies gravity by falling up Coin defies gravity by floating in the air Invulnerability: Coin folded into dollar bill is rolled into a tight tube, folded into a small packet, then emerges unharmed. Coin wrapped in napkin is pierced by pins, emerges unharmed. Transformation? Small hole drilled in coin moves freely across the coin to a new location. Weird Sympathy: Impression of coin pressed into foil changes from head to tail when coin is turned over. and then it gets really strange.....consider the Roth formal table routines: Coins are dropped into a "portable hole" symbolized by a circle of black felt. They reappear in a purse with no bag. The Sound of coins is caught in a glass and manipulated by the magician. The sound then becomes real. Rubber stamped images of coins move around on a pad of paper, then become real coins Coins become permanently fused together when touched to eachother. Coins penetrate a tiny doll house table, then the table penetrates the table. that's enough for now. Too specific?
Is THAT a PALMS OF STEEL 5 Banner I see? YARRRRGH! Please visit The Magic Bakery
