Hi,
As you can see, I'm new to this board. My name is James and I live in California. Curious and wanted to know what routines besides coins across would you do during walk-around if you don't have a surface to work on?

Way to many to give a comprehensive list here, but a few good choices:
Hopping half Copper/silver transpo Ungimmicked Scotch and Soda (Peter Marucci) Aldo Colombini's "Invisible Coins" My coin flurry Hanging coins etc, etc, etc.

I like to use my audiences' hands when I require a surface to work with. It really strengthens the effects as it happens in their hands. Paul Harris has his PDQ Coins across as an example of this.
I love "two copper one silver" and "Scotch Soda", "Tenkai Pennies", "Epic Flight", "Pencil thru coin" (about the strongest piece of visual magic plus you can do it with a mental bent to it), my own routine called "money, money, money" which is a three phase prediction routine using coins, Those are a few of my favorite walk around with coins.

How about these:
-Purse Spellbound (Rubinstein) -Coin through pants (Bobo) -Coin through handkerchief or copper or silver through handkerchief (Bobo, Vernon) -Scotch & Soda -Copper/silver (Bobo) -Charming Chinese Challege (Hooser) -ExTROYdinary (Hooser) -Copper/Silver gone (Sol Stone) -Jarred Coin (Sol Stone) -Coin in a bottle or bitten coin -Cigarette through coin There are a lot of good flurries out there, or you could make yours. Regards, Tony |

Full Effect,
If you-or anyone else, for that matter-want my routine for No-Gimmick Scotch and Soda (as mentioned by Scott Guinn, above), just e-mail me and ask for it. Only to happy to oblige. If I were selling it, the ad would say something like: "No gimmicks, virtually no sleights, real coins, will cure any and all diseases." "Well, that's what a DEALER ad might say! cheers, Peter Marucci |

I second the idea of using the spectator's (co-star's?) hands for a table-it is more magical and gets them involved. Use a silk or napkin as a "table cloth" over both hands and it will keep their hands together where you want them... otherwise they tend to pull them apart at the wrong time, gesture, etc.
Coins across (how ever many you do) has no real ending anyway all by itself... so for a climax I make the last coin go THROUGH the table, implying that it is harder to do the penetration than just passing them through the air. Finish by dropping all coins into the handkerchief-then can pick them all up together with the handkerchief and move on. You can even HPC into their hands, produce the omnipresent giant coin to their hands, etc. My coin through the handkerchief routine (Linking Ring a few years ago although they got the hand position wrong in one illustration despite the fact I sent a video tape...) involves three penetrations, two in my hands and the last in their hand and requires no surface upon which to work... My "Copper Silver Squared" routine also occurs in my hands and not the table and also appeared in Tom Craven's column in LR a few years ago - two halves change to two Silvers and back again, just by being turned over in the hand, finally ending with one copper and one silver in the left hand and a "cramped" appearing right hand - when called on "using an extra coin," you confess that you do and reveal a brass Asian coin with a square hole through it and pass out all three for examination if desired... tr |

I rarely have table space to use, when doing walk-around. Here's what I use, not necessarily in the same gig:
Sun and Moon Coin set (I use the basic handling of David Acer's marketed effect "Spare Change".) Mark Mason's mental selection routine from "Real World Magic" preceeded by two other card revelations involving cards that an audience member peeked-at. George Schindler's Homing Card to Wallet Mismade Bill (my no-tip handling) Sponge Balls or Sponge Bunnies Ring and String (includes ideas from Ray Grismer, Dan Garrett and Mark Leveridge; it uses my own finale) Daryl's Jumping Knot of Pakistan (the reset takes a minute, though) Sidewalk Shuffle (my handling, Infantino patter) |
