Spare Change by Josh Janousky is a great coin magic tutorial that you'll want to add to your
collection. First off let me tell you these routines aren't for beginners but don't let that change
your mind about adding these effects to your set. This is a total compliment to Josh because I know
this wasn't intended to be a beginners series of effects. Spare Change will give you the ability to
learn four very visual coin routines that are great for walk around street magic. The DVD runs
about 50 minutes long and you will see several live and studio performances. You'll get a great
understanding of the teachings and performances and be able to perform and master these awesome
effects pretty quickly. You won't learn basic coin handlings here...but you will learn some mind
blowing effects to add to your arsenal so you can slay your audiences minds. If you have an
intermediate understanding of coin magic then Spare Change no doubt is a great choice to add to your
repertoire. If you only have a basic understanding of coin magic then now is the time to step up
your game and get Spare Change so you can take your coin magic to the next level . The routines
won't take too long to learn but an intermediate knowledge of coins is recommended, don't worry all
sleights needed are taught by the One & Only Josh Janousky. Just a heads up, some of these
routines may require the use of an Expanded Shell, a Copper/Silver coin, or a Scotch and Soda
gimmick.
My favorite effect is C.S.T.: A Copper Silver routine that takes place entirely in
the spectators hands! Josh adds his own spin to the classic Copper Silver routine which is very
creative and I've never seen it done this way before. This routine was so good it was recently
featured in Linking Ring Magazine (July 2012). My second favorite routine is Coinception: This is
a multi phase three coin routine where the coins appear, vanish, and transpose. This one is perfect
for walk around , and is a great choice to use as an opener. Then there is Ninja Coins Across: A
very visual, impromptu coins across. As seen in Linking Ring magazine, you'll probably find yourself
reaching for this quite often because of the great reactions will get when blowing your spectators
minds.
TBD: A prediction effect when the spectators thought of coin not only matches a
prediction that has been in their hand the whole time, but the coin also vanishes and reappears in
the most startling place.
In addition to the four routines above, you will also get four
bonuses! You know in the past You've paid $30 to learn just one coin effect (I know I have) but for
only $10 bucks you get a total of 8 effects, that's only $1.25 per effect. You can't beat that!
