Hello everyone.

I have a problem with using shells.

Although I am au fait with a deck of cards/pair of laccy bands/box of teaspoons I am ashamed to admit I know very little about coins and have no practical experience with them. In fact I have avoided coins completely since I got into magic.


I have finally got up off my a*** and ordered Bobo. In the meantime, I have bought a few shells and I'm going to amuse myself with these until my book arrives.

My problem is relatively simple and is no doubt due to my ignorance on the subject. It also may expose the workings of a certain trick a little bit, so can I PM someone on this?

Regards,

Mark

me me me yes pm me, if you didn't get that then.

it would be ok if you pm'd me about this subject.

i think that you may be able to pm magicdiscoman - he may be ok about it.

............

not that he could help much aye

..always thought it'd be a good idea for magicdiscoman to put out an expert at the coin slot type book on lulu or wherever...

all the tips and bits n bob(o)s he knows...plus the experience...go on!

maybey if i get the time but it would be mostly rehashes of other peoples work that i remember so would not be very fair.
then again if illusionist can do it why not.

Thanks everyone, Mr DiscoMan has solved the problem.

And yes, he should write a book. Maybe a Bobo supplement?

Has anyone given Bobo the DVD treatment (a la Royal Road)?


Thanks again.

Mark.

How comes you get an answer? Whenever I ask about shells, everyone just clams up.

You just had to mussel in on that one didn't you?? .....I think it's a load of old scallops

sorry i missed your pm, perhapse you should have included a pic..................... of your shell that is.
nobody mention pearl knecklaces now people.

that last post brought a lump to my throat...

Oh no, not another running gag in the making...They always go on and on until we're all scraping the barrel and the jokes become really crab.

well if you don't like it, Monkey Boy you'd better just whelk away now.

I agree with magicmonkey! the puns often start off well enough but soon become a load of abalone....

I'm sadly quite proud of that one




I'll get my coat

judging by the response to my post above i didn't think there was a need, but if anyones interested i could find the time to do a demo dvd / cdrom and some notes on coin work, a guide for lasy performers.

Jeez, all these fish jokes, what a load of carp.
