I previously wrote about meeting with and sessioning with Geoff Latta almost daily. For a couple of those years tagging along was Michael Gallo when he was a demonstrator at Tannens. Although he was a very good card handler, he excelled at coin magic and created many well thought out routines and sequences. I used to kid him about constantly creating and performing stuff for hours and described it as, watching a diarrhea of coin magic.
Below you will find the first Gallo download from the NY Coin Magic Seminars. It includes five routines and runs just under 40-minutes.
►Traveling Coins Routines:
Michael Gallo performs and teaches five of his favorite coins across routines using his favorite techniques and sarcastic yet charming humor. The routines appear all different in effect and method. As a special bonus you also get a masterclass on how to effectively execute the Spider Vanish.
Routines include: B.O.B., Han Ping Chien-Less, Sliding Eagles, Easy Coins Across, and Coins In Spectator’s Hands.

Just received a few more of these hand-made decks. When I first saw Pedro from Magic Inc. perform this for me, I was completely fooled. I think you would have been fooled as well.
►Red Hot Prediction:
This is a devious card routine you will love to perform. A lot seems to happen and it is almost impossible to back-track all the magic. It will fool any magician that is not familiar with it.
You spread a blue deck of cards face up between your hands and ask a spectator to point to or name any two cards they see. You place the two cards on the table, you then ask a second spectator to name any other card (free choice). Say they name the Five of Clubs.
Explain that before you came here you randomly removed two cards from a red back deck, wrote something on their backs and shuffled them into the blue deck. You now spread the deck showing that all the backs are blue (as they should be). But when the two cards that were previously selected are turned face up they are seen to have red backs and the writing on their back reveals the freely named selection.

►Asian Coins & Shell Set:
These are the original coin sets that Christian Scherer designed and had manufactured in the 1980s. The set comes with four half-dollar sized Japanese coins (which are large replicas of the current 5 Yen coin), and a manufactured expanded matching shell.
As a special bonus you will also receive four double-backed plastic cards with the image of the coin in the center which makes them ideal for use in matrix routines. I am also including two real 5 Yen Japanese coins which are much smaller.

►MY MAGIC’S LATEST RELEASE:
►WOW 7: Kreskin Edition:
This is a very limited The Amazing Kreskin Edition that includes two books from his personal inventory.
It is an ideal way to present a mentalism routine while discussing the most famous mentalist in history and justifying the use of the two hardcover books.
You can read the spectator’s mind and write down the word they are thinking of. Ask them to yell out the word they are thinking of, then show the audience the word you wrote. They match.
But it is not over yet. As an afterthought have the spectator think of the last word on that page. You can now proceed to dramatically spell out the thought of word for a double miracle.

PS: As I continue to release these downloads, I realize that the best way to learn from them is to first do the routines as taught and then apply what you learned to other routines.
