The Bobo Switch

I am struggling greatly with this sleight. I simply can't make it look natural. Does anyone have a video of a good example which they could show me?

It's one of those practice things.

How long have you practiced with it?

Barton: Have you read the Bible, Pete?
Pete: Holy Bible?
Barton: Yeah.
Pete: Yeah, I think so. Anyway, I've heard about it.

Months unfortunately. Utility switch and click pas are going well but Bobo is killing me.

Most of the time when I struggle to make a sleight look natural it's because I have no idea what naturally tossing a coin from one hand to the other should look like. Try it with one coin at first, then start doing the switch

This is a sleight you should learn by yourself rather than from a DVD, since we all toss coins from hand to hand differently

At the risk of being accused of self promotion, you could have a look at the trailer for Basic Coin Magic at www.virtualmagicshow.com/shop

There's a Bobo switch in there.

Take care, Ian
