A few notes &/or references you may wish to check out:
With all due respect to Jerry Andrus (and his FANTASTIC routine) The 'slit / key' pin was invented by L.V. Lyons. Check: The Phoenix, Nov. 1943. The Garrett routine is a variation of an effect that originally saw print in Apocalypse.(Feb, 1982 Volume 5 , #2. Han van Senus.) Sensus' method is devious... and Garrett's routine provides some superb touches (visually duplicating the gaffed Andrus routine almost identically... without the gaff.) & Last, but not least... The (Gene Gordon) original was "Piff Paff Poof" which first saw print in "Greater Magic" That's the 'scoop' Doug Conn |

Okay, which one do I have? It came with a set of 6" long ungaffed pins and a "fake."
I was under the impression that it was Slydini's Golden Pins, but now I think it was Gaeton Bloom's.

J.B. Bobo acknowledges in his foreward to Pin-Trix that the split pin was an old ruse and was not Andrus' innovation.
In fact, as a boy, I recall reading a trick penned by Walter Gibson in the early twentieth century that utilised a soldered and cut shank as his method for deception. However, I still hold that Andrus' material rates as among my favorite pin tricks. I am especially fond of tricks that feature non-gaffed pins, and they amuse me most of all. And here is a special note to the curious: the patent for the safety pin was issued in 1849 in the United States. Below I have placed a link for your enjoyment. http://www.uspto.gov/web/offices/com/speeches/02-25.htm As always, GSMithson |

Joe Givan once showed me his set of "gold" (brass?) pins. One pin had a definite cut-out of approx 1/4"-3/16". We were comparing them to my set of Jerry Andrus pins. Joe owns both sets and he showed me the difference and advised me that the gold pins (with the gap in the key pin) were the "Slydini Pins".
Hope this helps. Mike P.S. Pete, how long should (or must) we "stay tooned for a breakthrough" to learn about the new linking finger ring effect that you were hinting about? (grin)

Mageofmeadows,
Your set is indeed gaetan blooms version, you understood it as Slydini's because that set came with the routine by Slydini as well as the gaff set. Simon |

Even if Bloom re-used the Sydini's pins, Turk (Mike) is right: Slydini's ones do have the little gap while the Andrus' ones have just an "invisible" slit. Same idea, anyway, but different handlings and possibilities.

Karl Norman has a great linking safety pin routine and a nice pull across move with a hankerchief. If you really are looking they are in his newest lecture notes.

When I first saw this question here about a year ago, I mentioned the garrett routine,and the fact that you can get "blanket pins of the correct size in most hobby shops and yes walmart, I also asked if anyoine had knowledge of where to get the andrus pins, surprise surprise, I got an email from jerry andrus, saying his pins would soon be avaliable ,soon as they found the proper pins(not steel) and as a side note he said that Garrett had fooled him with pindemonium, that;s good enough for me.....

Just out of curiosity...
Does anyone else do the move where you unlink the pins after having inserted the point of one through the spring of the other? I found this in Fulves "Close-Up Table Magic." It took me about 6 days of practice before I could get it to work consistently without popping one pin open, but now that I can do it, it's a nice little move. Like I said, just curious. P.S. I find that if you run through a pin routine fairly quickly, spectators still think it's magic. If you drag it out too long, it's a puzzle. Also, the handkerchief pull across is a fun finish. |

Does anyone know the stealth linking pins? Does that use the same principles as the others? Who was the creator of this version?

Geno Munari is the creator of "stealth linking pins"
Its based on Van Senus's breakthrough with some other subtelties. It comes with a lot of information regarding all popular versions of this effect. I recommend it. |

Pete Biro frequently makes me laugh...
Okay, Axman, I'll bite -- what is Van Senus's breakthrough and where can I read about it? Does it use ungaffed pins? Similarly, what are Stealth Pins, and where can I read more about them? Thanks for any help. |

Pete,
I wanted to attend an Atkins diet seminar but I had no Body to go with. JoeHoman. As Doug Conn mentions earlier in this thread Van Senus's breakthrough was first published in apocalypse Feb, 1982 Volume 5 , #2. It allows some startling penetrations without gaffed pins. You can also read about it in the booklet acompanying Munaris "stealth linking Pins" Now I'm off for a delicious meal of meat and two meat. |

How do you keep the card palmed from being seen between your phalanges?
Joe: Sorry you said "frequently"—guess I need to work harder to get to "all the time"??? :bikes:

Hi guys,
I do a small routine which is derived from the Slydini routine published in Apocalypse, and uses a regular and a key pin. The reaction is strong, I would even say unusually strong given the limited time needed to master the basic moves. I am a bit frustrated not to be able to give out the pins for examination. How do you guys get around the problem of giving out the key ? Also, I would like to finish the effect with a kicker, maybe by switching out the first two pins (reg. and key) and switching in a set of two soldered, interlocked pins. My only problem is that I haven't found a 'reasonable' way of doing this (I mean without alerting everyone to what's going on). I'd appreciate your thoughts. Daniel |

Daniel,
Sounds like you need to get a copy of Jerry Andrus book, Pin Trix. He is the master of pins. Switch, go to your pocket for something, or put a clip or magnet on the edge of your coat. Then again why do you need to switch at all, keep your act moving and show them another trick. It is part of routining an act. |
