Today you will have the opportunity to learn two little known coin routines by two legends in the field of close-up magic. I am speaking of Michael Skinner and David Roth, who were even roommates while living in Hollywood.
Watch the trailers before I tip the method:
►Watch Michael Skinner’s routine: HERE
►Watch David Roth’s routine: HERE
I am releasing both downloads at the same time because both routines use the same gimmick, but in different ways, it is a gimmick that most of you already own but likely never use. The gimmick is a folding coin!
The coin is being used in such devious ways that if I did not mention it, you probably would not have guessed the method.
If you do not already own a folding coin, or misplaced yours, I have a few of the nice inexpensive Tango ones below.
►Slow Motion Coin Vanish:
This is a barehanded coin vanish that Michael Skinner used to impress magicians with.
You cleanly show a coin at your fingertips and slowly make it vanish. After which, you show your hands empty on both sides in a series of flourishy displays. You then reproduce the coin.
Watch and buy: HERE
►Folding Coins Across:
This is a devious, easy, direct, and clean coins across routine that David Roth used to fool magicians with.
You begin with four coins held between your fingertips and one at a time they invisibly travel from one hand to the other in a remarkably fair and visual way.
Watch and buy: HERE
►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.
