For those interested in Coins in a Manipulation Routine....this is my 'Coin to Ear' bit in my Manipulation Routine.

The Coin bit is from the 1 to 2 mnute mark.

What surprised me was how well the coin bit went over in the routine when I've done it the very few times in public. Lots of laughter Smile

Man, the difference between playing checkers and chess or even more so the difference between chess and 3 Dimensional Chess. 😁 It’s like watching Mickey Silver and David Stone all in one. 😁 And as like with theirs, your coin work is just brilliant! 😊

This is just a beautiful performance my friend, so well done, and shows a tremendous amount of variety, versatility, technique and overall style & ability, way beyond that of just coins, way beyond. 💯

Thank you Gents. Glad you found it fun Smile

Again thanx for your nice comments Marion. Made my day!

The routine is still a work in progress....pacing, a few glitches, etc. But posted it to show some slightly larger than silver dollar coin manipulation. Technically 90% of the coin work is just a strong Retention Vanish/Apearance. It's amazing what you can do with that one move.

Cheers.

One thing I've always believed, is that when the audience is more than several ft.away......using slightly larger than silver dollars coins, GREATLY enhances the effect. This being tricks like Coins to Glass, Misers Dream, Etc... For close-up tricks such as Matrix, Kennedy half-dollars/English pennies work fine.

The Morgan is 1.5" (38.1mm) compared to the coins I use 1.75" (45mm) in first vid and 1.94" (50mm) in 2nd.

These coins do take some time and effort to get use to and adapt. Seems impossible at times but eventually comes together.

And from the audiences point of view....much much more visual.

And when you do work with dollars.... they feel like dimes Smile

What I really like about your routine is that it uses simple props. No gimmicks (I assume) and just pure sleight of hand.
I would love to see it live.
And your coin work is beyond most of the stuff one sees. Great job.

Max is the best.

Thank you very much for the kind words Steve Smile
In all honesty, that little 1 minute coin routine performed live has gotten me more accolades from audiences & magicians, than any other effect/routine (with the exception of miser's dream which is usually a large audience routine).
A good RV vanish will go a long ways LOL

As a sidenote, I would often follow with "The Human Hen' which is continuous Balls from Mouth. Again, the Balls from Mouth has gotten me a far far better reaction than any other Billiard Ball routine.
