Just love the move at 1:58 here… Smile The whole routine is a nice one, but that lead up to this move is topnotch. His style is so deliberate, it can be a bit aggravating following along somewhat, but once he gets you to where he wants you to be…BAMMO! Smile

In the sport of boxing, it is said that “styles make fights.” Along those lines, there are many styles in magic that are quite effective. Some magis like to be up and about, some like the outdoors, some are hobbyists that like learning from a multitude of sources, while some like to just sit and deliver. This guy learned the craft from his dad, who was a really good closeup man himself. He taught him all the nuances and moves that makes magic even more clever & magical.

In this one, he shows a clever old coins across. The moves are so smoothly done that if you were sitting right next to him you’d see about as much as you see right here. Smile I remember learning that right up close one night on a cruise in Boca Raton, Fla., sitting next to another outstanding card & closeup man, Bill Malone. Man guys like this are something to see up close as it just shows you what we’re all in search of as to the art no matter how difficult or simply put…”pure perfection” is what all the practice is really about.

Here’s a good example of all that from a guy that’s been doing it just this way for a really long time. I believe Doug Conn way above shows you a bit of this in a similar trick, but it’s good to see how different hands handle things differently the same… The effect is a nice one here, but again it’s the overall delivery that makes it sing… Smile



I went way above and back here a ways to bring this forth at this time, in tribute of Mike Gallo.

I am saddened by his most recent passing, and remember here some points I made using his great example as to some of the finest coin magic around anywhere. I can still remember something Mike said to me as to my Crimp Change long ago. He always gave great advice and or recognition if called for, backed up with chops that made you pay attention and listen. I remember similar points that came from his good buddy, David Roth. These guys were always teaching. So much good and memorable magic they shared to all. Gallo will always be remembered fondly for some of the best coin magic around. Somehow, his old “Freeze Frame” effect seems somewhat appropriate here…



Much respect and RIP.

I think they mean Chris “Korn” but none-the-less, another wonderful coin guy. Smile

Man, this never gets old and is some of the best coin work out there from just a master of a closeup man… This is what it looks like when you put it all together in finished presentation…It’s what absolute magic looks like. Smile
