I'm not phishing.....I have the coins...I know the sleights now I just need a good routine for both Hopping halves and the CSB coin set...I know hopping halves have 2 horrible routines....I kind of like the grandfather routine wher you keep restarting the effect but it seems really corny....and then theres the other hopping half routine called the 2 coin trick (I've seen that done a few times and it looks like the magician is making fun of the spectator....I got nothing for CSB routines...can someone help???Please...

Check out Bob Sheets' Triple Transpo. It's on his Penguin live lecture and his Bob Does Hospitality Vol 2 DVD.

Also check out The Atomic Coin by Pipo Villanueva

It's a different style of routine using the CSB set.

Jeremy Pei put out a DVD years ago called Ultimate CSB, utilizing the CSB in different ways. Not sure if it's a download or not.

Yeah... There's a very visual move from James Lewis' "Foreign Exchange" that Bannon uses that's worth learning.

Bob Sheets also uses it in Triple Transpo.

I think a terrific Hopping Halves is Mark Jenest's Short Hop, which is on his Miracles While You Wait DVD. It uses a copper/silver, no shell, and it's not presented as a spectator challenge.

I've been using Ben Earle's version (from REAL COIN MAGIC) with my "Brass Buttons" set lately to good effect.
I keep the both the non-ginmicked & gimmicked'coins' in a Quiver wallet.

That instruction set also has some other interesting coin ideas (not related to your question) and there has been some tremendous other suggestions posted above!
