Great effect I've done it with rolled up bills, half dollars, and even Jacks (you know the old kids game) with a Jumbo Jack and Rubber Ball as the kicker ending. I've seen it done with boucey balls. What are some of the other items you folks have seen or done?
Anything out there interesting? Cheers Chris |

Sponge Balls work real well, as Vinny just stated.

Wooden balls, dice, and assorted small objects. Carved bone objects from the Orient. Small fruits. Also, using a mixture of different objects adds interest and throws those "in the know" off the track.

Animal crackers of any type of food that you can somehow show that it is the same one by a mark such as a bite out of it.

My favorite TIHOIP routine is Doc Eason's All Screwed Up. It uses nuts and bolts and has a good kicker at the end!

I've only used sponge balls and coins. for the coins I've been playing around with Jim Pace's Coin Routine in his Restaurant Workers Handbook. It's a simple and easy routine.

I am currently working on "All Screwed Up" off of the Doc Eason tapes.
When I first learned this type of move with sponge balls, I learned it as 1 in the hand and 2 in the pocket. With sponge balls, it is possible to then make all the balls come back to your hand. I always thought that going to 3 from 1 was better than going to 3 from 2. Unfortunately, it is limited mostly to sponge balls.

Use some plastic cockroaches. Show three, put one in the pocket and they keep coming back until you say the magic word. Then they all disappear.
Or, I guess you could use real ones but they keep running off.

I've never been a huge fan of this routine. I don't believe it's that deceptive (more than once). The best use of this type of sequence I've seen is on Aldo Columbini's "Standing Room Only" video (now on DVD) that incorporates a torn and restored bill into the game. Doc Eason's routine is pretty nice too, but a bit too repetive with the "how many do I have in my hand?" phases.

I used to do this routine and I think it's great for when you're learning misdirection techniques or just learning simple coin slights such as a shuttle pass, click-pass and timing your gaze and body language.
You could even use this routine when you're learning a new type of pass just to get the feel. Or for an impormptu situation, it's perfect. I stopped using it because there are a lot of other better routines out there. But it is a good routine for impromptu magic so keep it in your bag-o'-tricks. You can enhance the effect by having a spectator provide you with the 3 items. I did this with Altoids at a wine-chocolate tasting event. I made it seem very impromptu by asking someone ... "Hey, I know. Hand me 3 of those mints". Of course they did not know that I already had one. That adds a lot to the effect.

I have to agree with some of the comments made that this effect can get a bit drawn out and weak...But on the other hand at the right moment such as barrowing 3 altoids, it can be a real Jaw dropper (Pun was intended)
Keep them coming folks!! Chris |

I love Scott Guinn's routine. He does a two in hand one in the pocket routine with peanuts. In the end instead of them vanishing, a little toy elephant appears in his hand for the child to keep. It's not for everyone but I love it.

Back in the 70's, Larry West showed me a one in the hand, one in the pocket, two in the hand routine using two $1 bills.
You borrow two $1 bills and ball them up. You place one of the $1 bills in your pocket, make it magically travel to join the other $1 bill in your hand, repeat the effect, and when you try to repeat the effect one more time, you open your hand and see only one bill. You look puzzled, and as you unwrinkle the one bill, you reveal that you were in fact sucessful because you do have two in the hand -- a $2 bill. It's easy to do, surprising, uses borrowed objects which is always good (two $1 bills), and at the end you give the spectator the $2 bill as a souvenir (of course you have her two $1 bills so all's even.)

Nice idea, Larry. Would be a nice thing to keep in mind for an "imptomptu" effect. Plus, the $2 bill would certainly pack small. Thanks for sharing!

I concur, Doc's routine is a good one. Year's back I used to do one Supreme marketed with supposedly three little pieces of coal. The climax was some coke ( a tiny tin of coca cola). Sam Shwartz had a good one with bottle caps, it is included in the new book "Sam's". How about using three plastic flies and calling it yet another "Three Fly" routine. Climax could be a giant fly (superfly) or the frog that ate them! (don't forget who you heard it from, lol, marketing rights reserved). Paul. |

It's not what you do so much as WHY you do it.

Drat! No flies on you Larry! I guess it was a natural link to think of three flies if you were familiar with the coin trick of the same name. Marketing rights now reserved by Larry...
I did publish a transposition routine with a fly (based on the movie of the same name) in Skaratika magazine in the eighties but it wasn't a 2 in the hand 1 in the pocket thing. Roy Baker may have been the first to do a magical fly transposition, years back he marketed a paddle trick with flies on the paddles... But the best fly trick was probably Dick Koornwinder's "Benjamin the Fly" that was marketed through Ken Brooke (and ripped off by Tannen's as Herman the Beatle). Paul. |
