I love using my FC but don't know too many ways to fully utilise it for CIB effect.

Does anyone own this DVD (think it is quite new) would love to hear som feedback.

And it is about half way down.

From the web page;

If you could have one set of magic DVDs, this would be it! This benchmark collection features just about all of magic's most enduring and classic effects and routines. It's a fabulous compendium with many of the top masters in the world of magic teaching their handlings and routines for some of magic's classics. Linking rings, sponge balls, mental bending, cups and balls, TTs, Zombie, color-changing knives, and many, many more topics are all gathered in this one terrific DVD reference set. Each volume covers a specific subject and features new, old, and sometimes rare footage by some of the top video producers in magic.

The folding coin was first introduced into the literature of magic by Professor Hoffmann in the late 1800s. Since that time, magicians have been coming up with diverse ways to perform the classic Coin in Bottle, the effect for which the gimmick was first invented, in addition to other novel ways in which this unusually gimmicked coin can be put to use.


In this volume, you'll learn David Roth's take on what has now become a classic of street magic as a piece of a coin is visibly bitten off and then expectorated back into place. You'll then be treated to five different approaches to the Coin in Bottle. First, Johnny Thompson performs and teaches his version, which he refers to as one of his “pet tricks.” Then, one of the world's great bar magicians, Karl Norman, demonstrates his fine touches on the trick. David Roth is up next with an adaptation with a truly bizarre finish and also imparts some important information on the care and handling of folding coins. Then, Michael Ammar teaches his reputation-making versions that features a squeaky-clean way of getting into the trick and, in the stage version, a similarly clean finish. To round out the set, David Roth finishes up with two completely different ways to use the folding coin, first as a way of magically producing coins in the hand and secondly, as a method for performing the classic Coins Through Table so that the coins apparently visibly vanish into the surface of the table.


The folding coin has been around for a long time and there's a good reason for that. If you've never experienced the sheer astonishment of an audience as they watch a coin apparently pass into and out of a solid glass bottle, you're missing out on what Michael Ammar called “one of the five strongest effects you can do with a coin.” And, on this DVD, you'll learn everything you need to know to put a folding coin effect right into your “A” list of material.

This is well worth the price.

Utilising your coin in different ways involves nothing more than thinking outside the box. And with these guys showing you how, it's got to be good.

I'm already a fan of these 'worlds greatest' DVDs, not just for the teaching, but the chance to watch some perhaps forgotten or unknown masters at work.

Sorry, not much of a review, but I'd recommend it

Thanks for the comment. I totally agree with what your saying. I do think this DVD has such potential and am looking forward to learning more about the FC.

If anyone has the DVD, please feel free to post your thoughts.

It's a great DVD on the subject.

I'm really impressed with the Worlds Greatest Magic Series, with out a doubt one of the best series I've seen in a long time

Highly recommended

Hope this helps
