Simon Aronson’s Quadruple Spellbound was one of his favorite routines. He always carried it with him, and it was his go to routine whenever he wanted to show people some magic. It fits into the current vernacular of EDC (Every Day Carry).
When Ted Bogusta said he could make the special coins, Simon gave me the rights to produce his favorite routine. It has long been out of stock, but I am happy to release these new sets that are made using the MyMagic Japanese coins.
They are now available in two versions: The Standard and Silver Editions. The differences can be seen at the end of the trailer: HERE
►Quadruple Spellbound:
Originally created in the 1970s and first published in the 1980s, this was one of Simon Aronson’s favorite routines, that he always carried with him and performed often.
The basic effect: You show an American half dollar. You wave your hand over it, and it changes into a Japanese coin with a hole through it. Wave your hand over the Japanese coin and it changes into a copper English penny. Wave your hand over the penny and it changes into an African coin with a hole in it. As a finale, the African coin changes back into the American half dollar.
In addition to the custom-made set of gaffed coins you also get a video tutorial with Simon Aronson performing and explaining his original handling, Meir Yedid teaching his versions of the Quadruple Spellbound, and Sol Stone teaching his Patriotic Poker Chips.

Magicians who fell in love with the Dual Position Triple Split coins also asked if they can be made using larger coins (larger than Morgans). I currently have one set using the solid Silver American Eagle commemorative coins, made by the US Mint, which are a little larger than 1.5 inches and allows them to be seen from a distance.
►Dual Position Triple Split:
There have been many Triple Split Coin versions released by many different companies, but most are basically the same. Until now…
What Ted Bogusta created is a magnetic system he calls Dual Position which uses specially designed and manufactured magnets that allow the magnetic coins to overlap without aligning. This system allows you to place the overlapping coins in your hands, on the table, or even in the spectators’ hands before, during, and after your routines.

►OUR PREVIOUS RELEASE:
►Progressive Bills:
A routine right out of Meir Yedid’s professional stage and parlor acts. One he has been performing for most of his career. This is a quick version of the bill repeat plot that is logical, self-working, and has a powerful “applauds cue” ending. The brilliant part of the method is that the big finale serves as the secret gimmick throughout the routine. The routine ends with a flash unfold that produces the gimmick to great applauds.
It is completely self-contained, packs small (fits in a wallet or envelope), always ready to perform, ideal for stage and platform shows, a perfect Emcee routine and can even be a hit in family and children’s shows.
