Some time ago I remember seeing a video of a great coin manipulation act, I'm pretty sure the guy is a fism winner, and the thing I remember the most is the bunch of coins he could throw in an arc and then catch, it was pretty awesome. Does anyone by any chance knows who that guy is and if the video is still online?

On a related topic, I'd like to get references on good stage coin manipulation act (Other than miser's dream), if you know any, I would really appreciate the help.

Check out this: a free copy of Downs' world class stage coin magic book. You can switch out the sleights for more modern ones.
But some of the coin holdouts are more advanced than in Bobo's, and can even be used for close up if you are creative.

I thought it would be special to offer Downs' Modern Coin Manipulation. Although some prefer actual books, when you enlarge it on a big screen, it might be better than a book.

Downs dedicated this to the magical fraternity of the world, 113 years ago. He would be pleased that we can share this now.
Many of the sleights seem out of date, but if you continue, you realize we may not be as far ahead as we think. Enjoy.

Download it here: http://archive.org/details/moderncoinmanip00downgoog most likely, you may want to click on the PDF version and follow instructions. This site is trustworthy, and I have used it for numerous downloads, with no problem. Beware of other sites offering free downloads---they scammers sites trying to get access to your computer.

If you can't download it, it may be a country issue, so pm me with your email and I will send you a PDF of the original book.
Enjoy,

The magician you saw throwing the coins was most likely Pierre Brahma (sp?) And yes, he won FISM twice.

Other coin manipulation acts include Geoffrey Buckingham-"It's easier than you think" still the best reference for people who want to use body loads and steals and Ron MacMillan - "Modern art of coin manipulation"

Always loved Rick Merrill's work, another FISM winner.

Incredible!!

Vampiro: Thanks for the info, I'll definitively study Downs work.
Jeffrey: YES! That's the one, Pierre Brahma! Thank you sir.
MB: I absolutely love Rick Merril's approach to coin magic, ever so funny and original, Rune Klan must be proud of the twists he gave to his routine.
