2 Section 1: Magic With Coins

2 Part 1 – Brief Routines, Productions and Concealments
2 A Snappy Four: angle-free 30 second production of four coins from the hands
5 A Kneezy Production: a quick production of a coin from behind the knee
5 Thumb Push Turnover: the paddle move for coins
6 The Pull Through Concealment: concealing a coin in the hands while pulling a handkerchief through them
7 Dollar Bill Jackpot: a dollar is removed from a wallet, folded, and two halves and 10 dimes are produced from it
11 Coin-Ah-Copia: two dimes, a nickel, a quarter, and a half are produced from a dollar removed from wallet
13 The Drop Concealment: a coin penetrates the pocket, then is snapped into two
15 The Houdini Safe and Lock Company: a silk is shown with a picture of a safe on it. The silk is twirled into a rope, knotted, and a large quantity of quarters appear
17 A Lesson in Subtlety: in showing a “magic wand” pen, the pen vanishes money (a gag), then clings to the side of the hand, and then produces coins from the pen cap
20 Harry, Hoo & Dini: Three quarters penetrate the back of the hand, then the fourth turns into a key
24 Cameo Miracle Production: quick production of one to four coins from the apparently empty hands
26 A Weighty Matter: As the magician talks about how gambler’s can “weigh” the cards, a coin is produced from under one of them
29 Son of New Era Coin Go: a new write-up for a coin vanish that originally appeared in Modern Coin Magic

32 Part 2 – Extended Platform and Close-up Routines
32 Theme and Variation in Silver – Part I: a full coin routine in which coins appear in the magician’s hand, transfer from the spectator’s hand to a glass, one of the coins penetrates, and a dollar in the glass changes to coins. Props needed include: snap coin purse, squeeze coin purse, eight halves, 25 quarters, a pen, a 15″ silk, a signet ring, a ring box, close up pad, a close up case with a handle, glass, plastic gimmicked glass, and you need to wear a necktie.
43 Theme and Variation in Silver – Part II: a full routine (though short) in which a coin penetrates the hand, changes to a blinking eye; another coin with a red dot becomes a “box” from which more change is removed; then a jumbo coin ‘case’ is shown and a stream of quarters emerges to the sound of a laser. Props needed include four halves, two jumbo 3″ halves, a quarter, a roll of quarters, 2 dimes and a nickel, silver duct tape, double sided tape, prescription bottle to hold roll of quarters, three Avery style sticker dots, blinking doll’s eye (craft store), miniature clothes pin, and a toy laser, pen, rubber bands, and some tissue paper. You must wear a coat.
53 Theme and Variation in Silver – Part III – The Steroid Coin: an invisible coin is removed from a purse and then becomes visible. The coin is chopped up, erased, thrown through a glass and is restored each time. Then it grows to a Jumbo coin, multiplies, and then all vanish in a paper sack. Props include: 10 dimes, miniature clothes pin, change purse, paring knife, wooden pencil with eraser, plastic cup, 2 silver dollars, two 3″ halves, dark handkerchief, a 2nd handkerchief, two paper bags, cardboard, scissors, and tape. You must wear a jacket.
60 Stage Coin Routine: To be performed to music. The magician’s finger appears and disappears under a handkerchief, then Silver dollars are removed from the handkerchief which are tossed in a cup. An invisible coin becomes visible in the handkerchief and penetrates a glass. Another coin is plucked from the air, vanishes, and is produced from a purse frame. It then grows to a jumbo coin, which vanishes and reappears in the handkerchief. Four more coins appear from the handkerchief, followed by six jumbo coins. Finally the ‘finger’ grows to 9 inches! Props include: platform table, black handkerchief, gimmicked goblet, 9 silver dollars, gimmicked silver dollar, 9 plastic jumbo coins, holder for coins, plastic cup, 9 inch rubber finger, purse frame, cardboard, close up pad, contact cement.

114 Caught!: a mini Miser’s Dream in which coins are caught in a small fish net, with a Jumbo coin climax
118 An “Egg”stra-Ordinary Journey: Magician bets a marked quarter that the spectator will select the one egg out of four that is hard boiled. The egg is broken in a clear plastic bag, and the magician is found to be wrong! The marked coin is retrieved, but has changed into a marker that points out the coin is in the bag with the broken egg.
124 Come On Down: a clever approach for the old $1.35 gimmick
127 Handy Crafty: three quarters are placed in the hand with miniature tools; when the hand is opened, one quarter is snipped, one is bent, and one has a nail through it
129 Bagged: a “Houdini” coin seems to penetrate a clear bag that has been placed over the magician’s hand holding the special coin along with four other coins
133 Colorsation: Spectator places a colored sticker of her choice on the back of a quarter. The Quarter penetrates the spectator’s hand and ends up with two half dollars already held.
