Suggestion: Coin handling book

Postby jbasl » Jun 1st, '06, 16:35



Does anyone have a recommendation for a book on coin handling. My hands aren't very dexterous, but I'm interested in learning some basic sleights and maybe working my way up to more advanced stuff.

Thanks,

John

Modern Coin Magic by J.B. Bobo for a cheap yet very expansive start off...

...covers everything, then perhaps have a little look at some Jay Sankey stuff...

...enjoy yourself!

oooh and Michael Ammar's easy to master coin miracles (or something like that anyway) very good if you learn better visually....

Although I started with Bobo's, I really benefitted from seeing the David Roth Expert Coin Magic made Easy video set (now available on DVD). David is a good teacher and I remember being thoroughly amazed by wild coin, hanging coins, spellbound and so on.
