Expanded sh***s are excellant. There are many uses for them, infact I never leave the house without one.
What can you use them for??
The are excellant for effects such as Coins through Table, Matrix and Coins Across.
People that you may wanna look out for are Dean Dill (he has some really good effects on his "Extreme Dean" DVD's that use Expanded Sh***s including the Swirl Matrix) also David Roth - His C.G.C routine (Live in Sacremento Lecture '98) using a sh*** is very impressive as is his Coins Across routine that is on his first International Magic Lecture Video and is also on Cody Fishers DVD under the name of Turtle Coins.
I also perform an effect called the bottomless glass that is so easy to do... basically there are two coins in the glass and one falls through the bottom and into your hand. It is very similar to the effect that was released by Kreis & Co called Glass Thru, however not with poker chips. It's easy to do and with a little though I am pretty sure you can work out how it works without me blatently exposing it on the open boards!!! If you need any help mate just send me a PM!!!
Expanded Sh***s are great for those little impromptu moments. With just a little thought you can perform some real miracles with them. Obviously check Bobo's too not only does it cover Sh***s however you will learn alot of the fundamentals of Coin Magic that will help you in the long run.
Again if I can help further with this then just gimmie a shout.
