Excellent guesses. I'm just relieved nobody mentioned T. Nelson Downs or Max Malini. Smile

Here's a little hint: Most of the magicians mentioned knew or had personally met this person.

We have a winner!!!

Jaz (who has 7 more post than me) came up with the correct answer on his third and final guess. The person who taught me the Bertram move was Lou Tannen some time in the mid 1960s. He held the coins close to his body with the palms toward the chest as the exchange was made. I do the move differently now and it's detailed in my book. Lou was an excellent magician and we all miss him.

Dan LeFay had an excellent guess of Tommy Wonder who performs that move beautifully.

Jaz, PM me with your address and I'll send out the 5 coins via First Class Mail.

Thanks to everyone who participated.
