Nice reference magicfish,

I pulled Kort right off the shelf and looked it up. I will work on this one.

Thanks.

Just to be clear, is this "The Magic of Milt Kort" by Steven Minsch or is there another Kort book that he himself did?

It is on page 151 of "The Magic of Milt Kort" by Steven Minch.

I was just thinking that 1-coin routines are very hard to pull off. Most people figure that if it isn't in the hand they thought, gee, must be the other hand and they are right a lot of the time. Watch their faces. Tricks with even 1 extra "odd" or Chinese coin or whatever, give you many more options and safeties such as being to pick up the odd coin to wave over the hand...like a wand or magical thing or talisman or such, but really giving the palming hand something to do. If you then make the vanished coin reappear in a left pocket...and really bring out a dupe coin, now you have 3 coins, they think you have 2, and now your options grow. Just trying to help.

Hummm, I didn't post that.

A magician did an act at a bar for several guys. One man said "that's traffic. wait here. let me get my kid. He's never seen a half dollar".
