MyMagic eNewsletter #1,252

For more than twenty years I have been emceeing shows at the 4F Convention and I always try to write new material. Around ten years ago I wrote a joke that I never used. The clean version went like this, “Inflation has gotten so bad that it is now cheaper to use these bills (show a stack of one-dollar bills) than buy toilet paper with them.”
Since then, I have tried to insert the joke into one of my bill routines, use it with a bill to toilet paper, toilet paper to bill, roll a bill into a tube and produce toilet paper, experimented with money mouth coils, toilet paper with printed money on it, and much more. I think I will stop this discussion now while I still have some self-respect, and before you realize how warped my mind can get.
What reminded me of the joke was the recent release of inexpensive silk streamers that look like one-hundred-dollar bills. I thought it would be funny to turn a real bill into the streamer and call it designer toilet paper. Will never do it so I though I would share the idea and offer you the streamers.
►Hundred Dollar Silk Streamer:
This is a large silk that is around 34-inches long and 14-inches wide with an image of a US $100 bill on it.
It is made of high quality 100% silk and is manufactured in China. A Magic By Gosh product.

Wanted to remind you that the introductory price for the third installment of the David Roth Lecture Notes expires on Tuesday. You may have also noticed that one of the routines taught is his “Standup Folding Coins Through Table.”
I just received another shipment of the inexpensive folding coins, below, in addition to the coins you will find links to the three folding coins downloads that I recently released by Mike Skinner, David Roth, and George Shindler.
►David Roth Lecture Notes #3:
David Roth was the most influential and creative coin magician in history. He literally revolutionized the way coin magic was performed and perceived. This is a digital copy of what is likely his third set of lecture notes which were never dated and simply titled “A Lecture By David Roth.”
It contained the original routines that he wanted to perform, impress with, and teach at his lectures.
Contents: Standup Folding Coins Through Table, The Table, Favorite Wild Coin (The Fake Take, The Fake Put, A Changeover Palm), and Salt Shaker.

►Folding Coin:
This is a nicely made, three-way folding US Coin that is profile cut to hide the seam (cut).
Available in real US Quarters and real US Kennedy Half Dollars.
You get a folding coin, extra bands, and access to some video performances.

Here are the three downloads you should consider getting:
►Michael Skinner’s Slow-Motion Coin Vanish: HERE
►David Roth’s Folding Coins Across: HERE
►George Schindler’s Coin In The Ring: HERE
►BACK IN STOCK:
Just received another small shipment of the classic coin routine now made with keys. You can read about what I originally wrote about it: HERE
►Hopping Key:
The Hopping Half is a classic gimmicked coin routine that has been performed by many magicians and enthusiasts. The classic is now available using manufactured keys.
The basic routine begins with two keys, a gold one and a silver one. You place the gold key in your pocket, and it jumps back to your hand, you repeat with the silver key, and it too jumps back, you repeat one more time with the silver key and as a finale everything disappears and can then reappear at your discretion.

PS: I still think the toilet paper/money premise is good and can apply to other things like, “It is now cheaper to eat these than spend them. …they are high in fiber and keep me slim.” Anyway, if I inspired you to come up with your own routine, at least give me credit if you publish it.

“My silly card tricks and comedic banter had gotten through to a woman who was dying and, at least for a brief time, alleviated her pain. All at once, I realized that a higher purpose was being served when I performed.”
