Rubinstein Coin Magic will become a classic. There is no doubt on that from me. You will want to
read through it a second or third time. It rivals other coin magic books that I keep in high regard.
It goes toe to toe with David Roth's Coin Magic and Al Schneider Magic. It not only has amazing
effects in it, it reads easy. It is like reading a Harry Lorayne book.It also doesn't explain what
the effect is at the beginning of the effect you must read through to understand. You will also find
a range of effects ranging from beginner to advanced. Some use some unusual gaffs, but you should
still be able to get them with some looking around. It has a great range of effects with some
effects having multiple ways to accomplish the effect. There is a also a killer friends section.
On yeah there is a whole section on puns (first thing I read).
This is easily a 5
star book.
