I have just received a copy of Bobo's Modern Coin Magic. Some of the sleights are challenging because my hands are rather small. Any advice towards the book any one would like to share. Thanks, Matt!!!

Smaller Coins Maybe??
My hands are small too, I thought they were too small as well, BUT I worked with half dollars and soon found that the only think that was too small was my allocated practice time each day.... You cannot expect to do any sleight right away, it takes a LOT of practice... it will seem like it is taking forever till one day you realize..HEY! I can do that now!! *L* keep trying and experiment with different size coins... as well as types.. I have found that the silver 64 kennedy halvs have a much better milled edge for a classic palm, compared to the newer ones Just spend some time finding what fits you, and be patient, and practice ALL the time you cant go wrong... Oh and a few videos to go along with Bobos would be a big help too. Good Luck Tom

Keep at it.
Back in 76, I thought my hands were too small for coin and card work. I learned the old fashion way, practice, books and lectures, private lessons, more practice, and of course bombing. Keep growing and glowing, let me/us know how things are going 6 months, a year... from know. And of course pass your knowledge on to someone who really wants to share not just learn secrets. Harris

I'm struggling right along with you pal. Not only are my hands small, they are bony and have large "windows" between the fingers. Makes it hard to do a lot of coin stuff, but I will preservere!
