This book is an extremely valuable addition to my library. It teaches alot about the technique as well as sleights, vanishes, and even the history behind this branch of magic. I will never stop reading this book probably, as I am constantly finding things that I didn't notice before and my tricks and ability with coins are constantly growing. Notice that most of theses things require alot of practice and dedication.

In the preface it says "There is and unfortunate trend among those who dabble in magic, and even those who rate themselves as magicians, to avoid anything that requires a little study adn practice and to rely on tricks that work themselves, tricks 'that can be done five minutes after you receive them,' as we see advertised so often." This was said by Jean Hugard. This book stands very true to this day on magical coin technique. It has not only taught me many things about the magic, but it has also taught me that magic is about practise and dedication, and there are a lot of problems with people and their easy selfworking tricks. This is purely sleight of hand and magic technique. If this bothers you, then you aren't really a magician. Period. Add to cart, now, and begin working on one of the best purchases you will get from penguin magic. A classic.
