Always good to see Piedrahita work, his creativity and quick-witted presentation style always uplifts these classic effects.

Thanks for posting this as it’s good to see well done coin magic.

Love watching this, just so magical…:)

It’s amazing how so much coin magic came from this. Many if not most first started out from his work, accumulating coin magic and creating a bit of it. Of course there are other great coin books out there but in most cases a lot of what you see today comes from this man and all the wonderful coin men of his day he helped give light to as to their fine works. But his basic approach & building blocks to the art still echoes greatly throughout what we’ve seen over the many years and continue to see today. To some it might not look like much but it is of great essence as to all we have.

Still one of the very best One Coin Routines I’ve ever come across. It remains ultra creative and awe inspiring from one of the very best closeup guys around, that happened to also be one heckuva coin guy too…Now, that’s how you do it!

…And here’s another wonderful take on the One Coin Routine genre that I have admired for years. It’s more of the regular take on the effect, just good old SOH coin magic done exquisitely as only a master like this can bring across, great patter and moves tell the magical story. Like I said, it’s along the lines of the regular ways to do this but creatively put for some on the spot coin magic…

Just so relaxed and smoothly done. A lot to learn and admire here…

I like when I come across coin men I might never have seen much of before. This is another take on the above effect but with 3 coins and some clever technique…very nicely done. And again, from a coin magician you might not have heard much of but is someone of real recognition somewhere else…Paco Rodas…ever heard of him, or remember him? Well, he certainly belongs here amongst some wonderful others I’ve shown, see for yourself…:)

Hey, how about a nice lecture from a real master at this stuff…I wanted you to see how all this is effectively brought across, and how various One Coin Routines (or tricks) can be. Sit back and watch it all from a homegrown coin guy here, in a simple setting and with one of the coolest bikes (or is that misdirection) ever made in the background. Enjoy and learn.



*And incidentally, he has been slowly improving from his illness and set back, and also very appreciative of all the love & concern shown to him in the way of support during this great challenge.

This sole idea is really new, bold, direct... magic ! Eric is really someone special. ????????????

This also applies to talent in Magic...
