Has anyone considered a REVERSE Swadling coin? One that stays quiet till ... after a few seconds... it becomes two coins?

How many Reverse Swad's do you want? If it warrants, will figure out how to make one.

There are also some coins to glass routines in Bobo's Modern Coin Magic. One of it uses only four Coins, a glass and standard sleights. This may be not the best routine imaginable but it's totally practical and effective for real world conditions.

IMHO: You know how you hold a glass... you do it every day.
My position is that if the routine has you holding the glass and you are not holding it the way you usually do... better to find another method.

CHALLENGE: ok... Let's say you are doing coins in glass and you decide to let the spectator in on helping....
You hand the spectator the glass (there may already be coins in the glass) and while he/she is holding the glass you vanish a coin... make a toss (?) and the coin appears in the glass. With a clink. Let's see who can think of a way. (I have one solution in mind).

Hi gang,
I have a 3 coins to glass in my stand-up notes called "Dave Neighbors stands up." It gets you 2 coins ahead at the beginning of the routine! Best, David Neighbors The Coinjurer |

Although not as clean or practical, the routine titled robot coins is truly stunning. It uses an opaque mug with a boxed deck of cards over the opening. Then, one at a time 4 half dollars are vanished one at a time, and arrive with an audible clink in the glass without any contact. It is truly amazing to watch, although a bit hard to find.

Mago Anton showed a new, and terrific, version of this at FISM.
He placed a glass tumbler (not opaque) on the floor about 10 feet from him, put a deck of cards on top "to keep anything from getting in" -- and vanished four coins one at a time and they appeared, with the sound, in the glass ON EACH VANISH. Lovely job... great prop...

Is that item still being marketed? I saw Rocco perform it on a DVD also.

The late Don Alan had a beautiful silver dollar Okito box that he used for his coins in glass. The deck was place on a glass and the box on the deck. Slowly the coins penetrated. He said a St. Louis magician/craftmen made it for him. Never found the guy.

Well, John Kennedy's name enters the discussion again. While we wre talking about this, he put out yet another useful prop, in this case, a deck of cards (and an ungaffed case) that allows coins to appear in a glass, hands off, while the cased deck rests across the mouth of the glass. To repeat, you've got a little handling to do, nothing unnatural, but you can't just do four in a row. The video makes everything look very practical.

The coins to glass routine with the deck is known as the Flight Deck available through john kennedy it costs about $300...I was wondering if anyone had seen the coins to glass routine on Marco Tempest's Virtual Magician....it seems like its the glass...He only uses three coins and crystal glass...not perfectly clear because of the etching...and the first one goes the in to glass while he is holding it in the Coins to Glass position...and the second two go...as the glass is placed on a tray held by a waitress....he does not go near the glass but the drop is heard.
No matter How much you know you can never stop learning.

I had a Martin windup device fitted in a cigarette pack that automatically dropped four coins one after another with a delay between each. John Gaughan now has it in his Martin display.

I think there's actually a version more miraculous where nothing needs to be placed on top of the glass -- I use it now as the closer in my stand-up show (see the Avatar), and even though I designed it to fool laymen, a side benefit is that I've fooled well-known coin men with it.
Coins to glass has the potential to be one of the most amazing effects ever -- I've found absolutely nothing that plays stronger, for me anyway. |
