I bet that most of us have been asked to do some magic at an importune time. That is why a one-coin routine is an ideal tool to have. I have always had one.
For the past few months Michael Rubinstein has been showing me different and new one-coin sequences and improvements. As a routine developed, he decided to make a video tutorial with the final product. The tutorial includes more than fifteen different sequences and ideas you can employ.
I am also releasing another download, David Roth’s fourth set of Lecture Notes.
►One Coin Routine:
The next time you find yourself with a coin in hand, you will be able to do some visual magic at a moment’s notice. Depending on the situation you can perform one or two quick moves or an entire act.
The One-Coin Routine is modular, which gives you the option of performing the complete routine, or just snippets that can stand on their own and be incorporated into your existing routines! It also includes three different endings (impromptu, multi coin production, and large coin), so you can perform the routine the way you want!

►David Roth Lecture Notes #4:
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 Magical Lecture By David Roth.”
It contained the original routines that he wanted to perform, impress with, and teach at his lectures.
Contents:Wild Coin, Stonehenge, Coin In Bottle Finale, Edge Grip Technique, and Winged Silver With Edge Grip.

►Tech Deck:
A great ending for a card magic routine. This is a real looking plastic deck of cards that when cut in half or opened flashes all kinds of electronic diodes.
The high-quality deck features a magnetic closure and a reed switch-activated circuit board that activates brilliant blue LED bulbs when opened and turns them off when it’s closed. Even though it’s solid state, this looks just like a real deck of cards until you share its secret with your spectators. Each deck comes with a red bicycle back, but any card back can be glued to it.

►BACK IN STOCK:
Although Geoff Latta is currently revered for his coin magic, I always knew him for his card stuff. Most of our card sessions were about cards. This book chronicles his thoughts and routines with cards.
►Geoff Latta: 52 Farewells:
Geoff Latta kept a quiet profile. He did not pursue a performing career, he seldom lectured on his magic, and he published selectively, an item here, another there. Yet his material and its influence slowly permeated the fabric of modern close-up magic. This quiet dissemination of sleights and tricks disguised a surprisingly large body of important work.
52 Farewells gathers all of Geoff Latta’s known card magic, published as well as private into a final book that will cement his legacy as an expert card magician and thinker. You will learn his many techniques, refinements, applications, and routines.

PS: I have many new items on the way. Some will be delayed due to the weather. After shoveling around my corner house, I am reminded of one of Harry Lorayne’s favorite later sayings, “I have pains in places, I didn’t know I had places.”
