At the last Magic Live I decided to try out my new presentation for the Holesome Coins. I was surprised at how fast they sold out, and I am pretty sure it is because of the focused presentation.
Technically it is identical to the free download you get when you buy them from me. The change in presentation was simple. Instead of focusing on how the two holed coins change places with the silver coin, I ignored the two-to-one transpositions and only spoke about the silver coin and let the obvious speak for itself.
I have been performing it this way for the last four months and the reactions have become much stronger. Take a look at the new presentation: HERE
►Holesome Coins: Japanese Edition:
The basic routine involves three coins. A Japanese coin with a hole in it, a small African coin with a hole in it, and a Walking Liberty silver half dollar.
The first phase begins with an impossible single coin transposition, followed by an even more impossible two for one coin transposition, with a final phase where the silver coin jumps back from your pocket, is used to vanish the two other coins, and can be handed out for examination.

►Infinity Chalice:
This is a terrific routine that combines many principles into one cohesive routine that is easy to follow and easy to perform.
You begin by showing a unique looking double-ended chalice and four coins. The four coins are placed into the top of the chalice and one-at-a-time they seem to penetrate the top of the chalice and magically work their way to the bottom in the cleanest and most direct way possible.

The new Misled Pens sold out very fast last week but was able to get more. To read what I originally wrote about them go: HERE
►Misled Pen:
One of the most iconic solid-through-solid illusions ever broadcast was Misled performed by David Copperfield. A pencil pierced a borrowed dollar bill—not once, but twice—then left the bill completely unharmed. The audience was stunned.
Misled Pen by Timothy Wenk transforms the original miracle into a sleek, modern performance with a ballpoint pen.

►Agatha’s Haunted Key:
The latest version of classic Haunted Key is a solid heavy key that looks like an old skeleton key with silver tones.
Here’s what happens: You introduce an old skeleton key that can be fully examined. The key is placed on your open palm, and once you call upon the spirits, it begins to slowly turn. Once the key has completely spun in place, it can be immediately handed out for examination.

►World Traveler:
This is likely the best and most interesting version of the Dan Harlan Cardtoon plot.
Instead of using playing cards and a cartoon character your friend names just about any country (50 choices). You then show a deck of cards with a picture of a globe on the back and a plane around it. By flipping the cards, the plane starts circling around the globe and finally stopping at the named country.

►BACK IN STOCK:
Just received a few more copies of Charlie Frye’s outstanding book that is full of great ideas.
►Sleightly Absurd:
Sleightly Absurd is a journey through the mind of a mastermind–Charlie Frye. Within its pages, you’ll find a slew of the secrets he has developed, refined, and performed over some four decades on six continents, as a professional entertainer on stages the world over.
You will learn the ins, outs, and inside outs of more than fifty fantastic feats, each mined from the mind of this peerless prestidigitator.

►eBay Auctions:
I keep adding more books, booklets, and lecture notes to my eBay auctions and eBay store. There are currently more than 100 auctions and 400+ items in the store. I wish I had the time to go through all these books. Full of tons of great tricks and ideas.
Wanted to also mention that some of the titles may be familiar but the editions offered are early and scarce in this condition.

PS: I will likely slow down my eBay listings and concentrate more on earning a living!

“Presentation makes, or breaks, a trick. It is the glowing action that makes the flat script live. If presentation is seventy-five per cent of the trick then, a writer, in presenting you with the secret alone, has imparted but twenty-five per cent of the real solution.”
…John Booth (Marvels Of Mystery, 1941)
