I have Bobo's modern coin magic and it has helped me greatly to discover methods used in coin magic. Now I'm looking for something with newer inovative methods. I've heard Revolutionary coin magic is good, but I honestly don't enjoy Jay Sankey. Is there anything comparable to Revolutionary Coin magic (something beyond the classic methods) Thanks in advance

From Downs to Greater Magic, to the Buckley Books and beyond, much to choose from.
Have you read Expert Coin Magic? That's the book on David Roth's work. Or perhaps CoinMagic, both by Richard Kaufman. From the 1980s and pretty good for moving beyond Bobo's.

Books:-
Have you got modern coin magic or new modern coin magic (if you've only got the former, get the latter) The Unexpected Visitor- Doug Brewer Totally Out of Control - Chris Kenner (Some Coin Stuff) Unexplainable acts - Gary Kurtz (Some Coin Stuff) Coin Magic - Kaufman David Roth - Expert coin magic (Still waiting for my copy but I hear it's good) Magic by Gosh - Albert Goshman DVD/ Video Creating Magic - Gary Kurtz Expert Coin Magic Made Easy - David Roth Quick & Casual - Sol Stone Goshman Performs - Albert Goshman (Performance only..get the book too!!) Rune Klan - 3 Pieces of Silver Cultural Exchange 1&2 (some coin stuff) Visual Voodoo - Nate Kranzo Lets get Flurious - Gary Kurtz Most of these are fairly difficult, if you are looking for a good grounding get the Roth stuff. If your looking for a challenge get Kurtz, Kenner. If you live in the UK don't get the Goshman stuff...I want to be the only one using that ![]() |

Roth's Expert Coin Magic by Kaufman. I love this book and read it constantly.

CLOSE-UP ILLUSIONS has not been named yet it has some cool stuff on coins. you know how bobo's and coinmagic will have difrent peoples variations on a sleight and you can pick which works best for you routine? well close-up illusions has that for the french drop but then the end has gary's Ultimate version which is a combonation of the best bits of the others.

Michael Ammar's coin magic introduction is good and so are the david roth expert coin magic tapes.

Thanks for all the help. I think Roth and Ammar are great, but are still leaning toward the "classic" methods. Nothing wrong with that, but I was looking for methods similar to Jay Sankey's. He is so creative- his personality just isn't for me though. I might check out some of the other stuff listed. Thanks everyone!

Try Kainoa Harbottles "coins on edge" for creative non-"classic" stuff - its classic
