I decided I wanted to add the Miser’s Dream to my act. I knew the basic moves but wanted to learn a
complete routine. After looking at several possibilities I decided to purchase Jeff McBride’s World
Class Manipulation, Volume 1. The reason is simple – I have found the other effects I perform that
are based on Jeff’s teachings to be highly entertaining routines that get great audience response.
Jeff makes the coin manipulations easy to understand, and the Miser’s Dream routine is he
teaches was exactly what I was looking for – varied, entertaining, and surprisingly easy to learn.
I am not currently using any ball or thimble work in my act, but if I ever decide to add any I know
I have a great resource to turn to.
