J.B. Bobo in action

I stumbled across this video the other day and thought it worth sharing:

It's always interesting and instructive to watch one of the masters at work. I must say I was surprised both by how quickly he does the sleights and by how little there is in the way of patter.

Must be part of the misdirection. That's his big secret: When you wear a coat like that, everyone goes too cross-eyed to see what you're doing with the coins! :D
