Hi. What level of skill is required in Jay Sankey's Revolutionary Coin Magic? Thank you. Rachel.

if memory serves most things can be done easily with basic practise, the routines are designed to use the sleights taught to there best ability and each is taught clearly and conscisly, oh and in a fun way ala sankey.

The sleights involved on "Revolutionary Coin Magic" are a little fiddly, as most coin sleights tend to be - but they are certainly not beyond the realms of achievablity, as long as you are prepared to spend some time picking up coins off the floor to begin with (like i was for the first few weeks)

But it is a very thorough DVD, packed with more than enough coin material to create some great looking effects. I like the Shuttle Pass or Fyling Shuttle Pass (cant remember the exact name of it now) it looks really convincing - and the tips on the Tenkai pinch are pretty well explained.

Also, you may want to check out "Modern Coin Magic" - its a 4 disk DVD set with probably the biggest collection of coin sleights I've seen. There's some really great moves on this series. Especially the classic Nelson Downs Miser's Dream trick. This one always gets a good response from spectators.....after all, who doesn't wish they can make money appear at the finger tips, again, and again, and again!

Both are great to own if your into coin magic. Good luck with your research. Hope you find something that suits your learning / performance style. Have fun.

Tyler.
