I am looking for a version of Sawa's splitting silver that leaves you clean. I know on the Siamese coin tape you are kinda of left clean. Does anyone else have any ideas?

Thanks

Mike Gallo has a clean version on his tape. In fact, Mike leaves you clean on most everything he does.

Just a note on Gallo's video kakronen, you do need to be sitting to end clean with Mike's routine. His ditches, however, are extremely well motivated and genuine foolers.

You will find the routine on Mike Gallo's 'The Dynasty Continues' - produced by none other than Mr Wakeman!

Mike does the same routine behind the bar as well. Same handling.

Think about YOUR mannerism to come up with
ways to ditch that look natural.

What worked for ie Slydini does not always fit this nearly normal magicians ways.

This is a great routine.

Does anyone think going from dollar, to 2 halves, to 4 quarters and then pennies(probably not really 100) would be too much? The dumping of the pennies may cover the last ditch fairly well.

There's a Sawa tape (Stevens?) in which he does a version of "Splitting Silver" with an ingenious patterline about wanting to use a soda machine, but only having a dollar. That, and the story he uses to introduce the dollar in the first place, are worth the cost fo the tape.

Of more interest to you, however, is the fact that in this routine, Sawa ditches the larger coins as he goes. I believe the last change is from one half (posing as two)to four quarters. You certainly should be able to sleeve, topit, pocket, cuff, neck, watchband, waistband, shirt, hook, magnetize, Bannon holdout, pochette or otherwise pitch or ditch the single remaining half.

Actually, imagine if you had a silver dollar with a clip welded to the back, big enough to hold two halves. The quarters are concealed separately. Turn the dollar into the halves by removing them from the clip. Turn the halves into quarters by returning the halves, and revealing the quarters. The other coins are now a solid lump, to be dealt with as above.

I hope that's clear enough. Obviously, you'll have to work out the practical problems.

Good luck, and write if it works.
