Magic Tricks

This is one of the best chinese coin - copper/silver routine ever! I love that it is so easy to do, yet so powerful. The routine starts out with three coins handed out for examination and ends with three coins handed out for examination. I love the play with simple colors instead of the more complex "Mexican Centavo, British Penny, and Yap Island stone money" routine (Although, a the production of a two ton Yap stone coin would be quite impressive). The only thing that I think would have been a bit of an improvement is if the coins were red, yellow, and green, instead of blue, black, and red. Red, yellow, and green would have lent itself to a bit more humor (You were close, yellow, but not quite a green light..). Maybe I'll paint over my coins. I also love that they are all chinese coins with holes as they lend themselves to gags, ribbon effects, etc. If you want to combine a couple strong routine, get the Charming Chinese Challenge by Troy Hooser in conjunction with this. There are so many other things you could add, folding chinese coin, flipper coin, etc. Another idea is to get a single chinese coin (half dollar size) and cut a slit in it from the edge to the hole. You can now add a linking coin effect. All in all, possibly the best copper/silver alternative out there. Also, the DVD was well done. I Highly recommend it.
