I have heard that one of our members here has a coin-magic website. He has not made a link to it here, as far as I know.
Maybe he will now.

By the way, Stein, that change of name did surprize me.

I know this isn't really the kind of responce you wanted, but I did i have a magic set several years ago. I could do all the tricks well. I can only remember a couple of the tricks. Let me think, the "a can under one cover and a cup under another cover and booggie wooggie, they have switched places."
And then there is the "two cups magically staying on a book upside down w/o explanation."

That's all that's coming to mind. They still impress people today actually Smiley

I found the link. It was hidden in an other thread. The site is by Wrenn.
I hope he comes to this thread and add his knowledge too.

A good place to start coin magic is with JB Bobo's book Modern Coin Magic, also check out www.themagiccafe.com and www.ultimatemagic.com

I was never much into magic, but then I have read the Magician's arsenal, professional tricks of the trade and magic bug bit me. Of course, as autor says "some people think I have really twisted sense of humor" Wink. Tricks like steel throwing cards, electric shocker glove, shotgun blasts coming from sleeves, psychokinetic scramblers, fire spitting, blinding flashes and loads of smoke... that is my magic repertoire! I really like this book, tricks that can be considered useful for stage and these so dangerous or weapon-ish that you can use it only on bad people(e.g. throwing strong firecrackers with taped fishooks on somebody's clothing, using appearing magic wand to poke somebody in eye, hiding striker mousetrap under deck of cards, shooting pneumatic powered darts or flames from sleeves etc.) alike. I have other books, but they are in czech language, so I cannot reccomend them to you. Undecided

I know how to contact juggle, that is sorta "magic" in that it relies on illusion as well as dexterity.

I know a few tricks with string, but I will have to train hard before I can show them again.

That is the way to go.
If we ever have that slingmeet you have to show it of.
