hi merrickmagic. I too am new here and since your post has no replies i thought i'd try to help. If this is the wrong effect I'm thinking of then please forgive me, but i assume your talking about the one he did on the pool table ? This was a version of shadow coins which can be found in a few books and dvds - Michael Ammars Easy to master money miracles comes to mind (vol 2). The effect seems to be quite popular over the last few years. You will need to purchase a little (something extra) to perform this, however if you perform coin magic the chances are you'll already have it. As a side note, shadow coins is actually a variation of 'chink a chink' and is not really a matrix. To classify as a coin matrix it must use 4 cards and 4 coins, or to be more precise, the audience must only be aware of 4 cards and 4 coins. Any less or any more and the effect is properly termed a coin assembly - shadow coins is a bare handed coin assembly. Hope this helps. jim
