i am quite new to magic but would like to try my hand at magic using coins. could anybody recommend a good one to start with. i have got the dynamic coins and the coin squeeze tricks, but would like to try something a bit different that would impress the Mrs!!!

uk or us coinage

hopping halfs any format but preferably the exp format will give you two gimicked coins that are used often in coin magic.
a scotch and soda or coin unigue variant would also be good.
a butter coin variant will help with coins across / through table / coin vanish from group etc.

thats the gimmicks now the media:- boobo's coin magic is the defacto standard.
the encylopedia of coin magic and the michel amar coin magic series are also worth taking a look.

Yes, as well as Sanquay's Relucionary Coin Magic, and Amaar's DDV...

Sanquay's Relucionary Coin Magic, and Amaar's DDV

Say what?

jay sankey's revolutionary coin magic could be a bit advanced for a beginner but is certainly a great addition to the list.
also try your local libary for magic books most of which will cover the basics of coin work.

thanks for the advice, that should keep me going for a while

i often add extra letters being dyslexic / dispraxic but i like a joke as good as the rest, I'm not offended and well spotted.

In case anybody is interested, I think Presto Magic do a British version of Hopping Halves! They are based in Essex have a look at their website but it's not easy to get round it......they do a lot more than what is on this site so you may have to sign up for their eNews http://www.zyworld.com/coinpurse/Prestomagic.htm
