That sucked up sooooooooooooo many hours for me.
Good fun though. And the book it's based on is brilliant!

Ok, instead of watching The Mint or Quiz Call or whatever rubbish it is... how about trying to solve this one...


A king is dying and is undecided who to give his kingdom too. He loves them both equally and they are identical twins.
He decides that whichever son owns the slowest horse, shall be the new king.
Days before the race, the 2 boys are worried, each fearing that the other will cheat by riding too slowly. So they visit a very wise old man.
The wise man tells them 2 words, and the problem is solved.


What were the 2 words?

Question for you all, where can you buy Ian Kendalls Basic Coin Magic CD from? I am interested in learning a bit of coin magic and this has been recommended but I can't find it in any online shop. Ecko, you lost me in that puzzle :lol:

Magic is real, just look around you, some of the most amazing things have no reason, no explanation but are very real.

I think Ian Kendall only sells it on his website.

Errr.... google will probably be your best bet for finding that I'm afraid :oops:

Cheers for the advise had a good google but never came up with his site. Maybe I will try Moden Coin Magic instead. I really like the look of Sankey's coin magic DVD but most people have said to me it is no good for beginners :(

Its a really good little CD. I was watching my copy again the other day and there is so much useful, thorough information in there.

All the best,

Ok, I will give that a miss for now. All I am really after is a DVD with the basics on plus a couple of tricks. Like Born To Perform but with coins :?

Aint that the truth.

I bought a book a few months back.

"Bargain!" says I having acquired a copy from Borders for the princley sum of £6.99

And on my shelf it sits. Staring at me. Reminding me why I never have any money... :(
