Magic of Slydini by Lewis Ganson
 Long
unavailable, Lewis Ganson's The Magic of Slydini is, perhaps, one of the
most influential magic books ever. Many of its routines have now become
classics in magic, including Flight of the Paper Balls, Helicopter Card,
Coins Through The Table, Slydini's Knotted Silks, The Paper Balls in the
Hat and others. In this brand new edition, Slydini has some additional
things to say about his creations. Some time ago, Dr. Gene Matsuura went
through the text of Ganson's book with Tony Slydini and took careful notes
as Slydini made valuable additions and observations. The Annotated Magic
of Slydini presents every word of Lewis Ganson's original text, printed
in black, along with Slydini's additions and corrections, printed in blue,
making this an invaluable and essential work even for those who own the
original book. Hardbound with matching endsheets, foil-stamped cloth cover,
striking full-color dust jacket, 312 pages.

Braided Bill (With DVD) by Bob Neale
 A
dollar bill has been braided. Close examination reveals that it has two
lengthwise slits that extend nearly to the ends of the bill, dividing
it into three bands. The braiding is real although the bands have never
been separate. It looks impossible. The bill can be borrowed, transformed
into this impossible object, and returned to the owner in less than two
minutes. The result is a distinctive memento. It is, as Michael Weber
says, "A bill that cannot be spent." Comes with a companion 20-min DVD
demonstrating the step-by-step procedure of how to create the braided
bill. Pages 23 - Saddle Stitched

Classic Coin Tricks by T. Nelson Downs
An Unabridged Reprint of "Modern Coin Manipulation"
 The
art of the coin trick is one of the fundamentals of legerdemain, and T.
Nelson Downs was an unparalleled master of the craft. In 1900 the self-proclaimed
"King of Koins" published an extensive account of his new and original
coin sleights and tricks, "Embracing Every Sleight and Subtlety Invented
and Known." That rare volume is now reprinted here. It features detailed
explanations and diagrams of numerous feats with coins-most prominent
among them the author's world-famous original creation, "The Miser's Dream,"
a much-imitated act climaxing in the production of a shower of half-dollars.
In this complete manual of the art of conjuring with coins, Downs shares
his secrets for scores of "fakes" and sleights, including passing a coin
through the bottom of a hat, the money-producing cigarette, the mysterious
claret glass, the crystal coin ladder, the obedient coins, and many more.
He also offers a wealth of suggestions for stage "business" involving
handkerchiefs, goblets, hats and other props, as well as helpful tips
on presentation, patter and other techniques. By following the clear,
concise instructions in this book, both professional and amateur magicians
can expand their sleight-of-hand repertoires to include a host of baffling
and amazing tricks sure to dazzle and delight any audience. What's more,
this volume offers a superb introduction to the wit and artistry of one
of the acknowledged masters of the field. Paperbound, 272 5 3/8" by 8
1/2" pages, 150 illustrations.

Coin Vanish by Dan Watkins
 Early
in 2002, Dan Watkins added a few short video clips to his site showing
some of the routines contained in Coinvanish. The response was overwhelming
and magicians around the world demanded to learn how these effects were
done. Well, here they are...and it was worth the wait! Coinvanish contains
10 professional sleights and effects intended for those ready to move
beyond the basics of coin magic. Contains: * The Back Thumb Palm Retention
Pass - your audience clearly sees the coin get tossed into your left hand,
then see your right hand empty and yet the coin vanishes! * The Middle
Finger Backclip - Dan gives a full description of this utility sleight
along with many references to other sources * Wiped Clean - a "hand washing"
technique to show both sides of your hands to be apparently empty. * Coinvanish
Trio - Show your hands empty, magically produce three coins and then vanish
them just as amazingly. * Sleight of Elbow - A coin appears from your
left elbow, vanishes into your right, appears out of your left, and then
vanishes completely into your right elbow. * King Midas Spellbound - A
quadruple Spellbound routine with gold, silver, copper and brass coins.
Squeeky clean! * Lightning Copper/Silver - The performer displays a silver
coin in the left hand and a copper coin in his right, and somehow change
places! Quick, visual, no gaffs! * Penetrating Okito & Beyond - The performer
shows a small brass box to be completely empty, puts the lid on top and
produces four half dollars! The box is placed on the back of his hand
and the coins pass through the box and his hand, leaving the box empty.
The box with the coins are again placed on the back of his hand and this
time the box and the lid pass through, leaving just the coins! * Jumbolaya
- After a one coin flurry routine, the coin grows to a jumbo size, appears
and disappears, penetrates body parts, and magically disappears once again.
* Double Take Transposition - A spectator is given a silver coin to hold
and the magician holds onto a copper coin. With just a wave of the hand,
the coins change places! The effect is then instantly repeated and everything
may be examined. Combbound, 24 8.5" by 11" pages, fully photo illustrated.

Coins on the Edge by Kainoa Harbottle
 Kainoa's
COINS ON EDGE is 114 spiral-bound pages of secrets featuring painstakingly
posed, black and white photographs fresh from the underground, including:
Another Flipping Three-Fly A no-gaff version of the (now) classic Three
Fly plot performed with all new sleights that use nothing but edge grip!
The arrival of the last coin in the fan (done with your palm towards the
audience) looks impossible but will surprise you with its simplicity.
This trick alone is worth the price of the book! Sneeze Guard Quite literally
the quick and dirty way of producing four coins when you want your audience
to remember you (and not inspect your coins). Delayed Expectations A series
of blunders makes the magician magically lose all four of his coins. But
when he finds one he suddenly finds them all, in a version of “The Free
and Unlimited Coinage of Silver” for real world workers. Punctuated Equilibrium
Coins Across This routine rejects the dictates of the oppressive Right
to Leftist regime by exploring a world where coins are free to travel
in whatever direction they want--two, or even three at a time! Shrug off
the oppressive yoke of linearity and take a walk on the wild side. Deja-Flew
Why not do the best part of any coins across TWICE?! Make the coins appear
in your audience’s hands when they’re least expecting it and then offer
to repeat the effect under test conditions! Do all these exclamation marks
make you interested?! Why not!? Flying Wombat Every felt like doing a
vanish that looks like the Raven but requires nothing other than the ability
to Mutobe palm a coin? Me too. This vanish will make you feel like you're
doing real magic without the need for wires, trapdoors, or secrect assistants
named after flying creatures. Beijing Trio Kainoa’s handling of Curtis
Kam’s “Beijing Coins Across” from Palms of Steel II, featuring the “Ouch”
Change—a transformation of a coin from Silver to Chinese that looks oh
so simple but will hurt you as much as it hurts your audience! You’ll
recover, but they won’t be able to find their pants! But that's not all.....
While the routines listed above are meant to wet the appetites of the
neophytes, the real value of Coins on Edge stems from its definitive system
of sleights all designed for manipulating stacks of coins just inches
from your audience’s entertainment-starved faces, including: * The Action
Steal * X for X X-Change * Edge Grip to Edge Grip Transfer * Edge Grip
to Curl Palm Transfer * Drop Transfer * Drag Transfer * Edge Flip Steal
* Edge Flip Placement Additionally, there's three new handlings of the
Steeplechase Discrepancy, including the "One-Handed SD" and the "Non-Discrepant
SD." And the last but not least addition is some copper/silver work using
edge grip featuring two versions of the "Edge Grip to Edge Grip Change"
(yes, that's right...yummy pain), one of which was created by none other
than Jonathan Townsend!

Doesn't Grow on Trees.." The perfect opener for a restaurant/strolling

Just like the title says...this one happens all in the spectator's hands.
In fact the transpositions happen three times, each time getting better
and better. "Comin' Outta the Box" If you've liked what Roth has done
with the Okito box, then you'll love this routine. An "Out with Four"
type routine where four coins are placed inside and magically come out
one by one, each time getting more impossible and more VISUAL! "3 Coins
Hangin" (2 Versions)-Featuring "3 Coins outta Nowhere" production Three
coins are magically produced out of thin air. After this happens the magician
offers to explain how the trick was done and goes on to visibly "hang"
each coin in the air, after turning the coins invisible of course. After
each vanish the hands are seen empty and that there's nothing hiding.
Once all are "hung" the magician produces the coins again one by one.

British, and Chinese coins are magically produced, vanished by being hung
in the hair. and then reproduced. "The 5th Dimension" Bill's signature
routine...A deadly combination of a purse frame production and wild coin
effect. Add a story with an emotional hook and you have this routine.
AND MORE!!!! 13 Items Total - 3 Utilities, 8 Effects, and 2 Alternate
Handling "I have quickly read Bill's book COINsomnia (It is a quick read)
and I was left with a feeling that some of you older magicians might just
miss out on a very fresh book with nice twists to familiar plots. We older
guys tend to keep with the things we use already. I am happy to have read
it. There are not many things that make me want to 'Bust out the coins'
and start practicing. A couple of routines from this book did just that.
Thanks Bill....I think. Magicians...young or old, it is time to buy a
new book!" -Jim Pace "Bill Citino is a rare breed. He is true student
of magic who cares about paying homage to the great practitioners that
came before us. He has taken the time to research the history behind the
slights he uses and this dedication shows in his magic. Real world workable
Coin Magic is rare these days and bill is offering you some real world
stunners." -Nathan Kranzo "Bill's book COINsomnia is a breath of much
needed fresh air. His work is so well thought out and every move planned
that you would think a composer wrote them. I am so pleased by the reactions
that I am getting after performing the magic in these pages! If you want
to fool the heck out of your audiences and you want some killer material
to add to your arsenal, then you must pick up COINsomnia by Bill Citino!"
-Corey Burke "'Kid tested, mother approved.' Magic that's guaranteed to
blow any lay audience away!!! Great work Bill!" -Eric Jones "You're going
to have a lot of fun with his stuff..." -Marc DeSouza (from COINsomnia

when performing with coins. He is truly a genius." Sections: * Magic in

Pages, Hardbound and Fully Illustrated "To
the very best of my judgment, David's ideas and execution far surpass
any one of them. I feel quite certain that if they could witness his performance,
they would be not only astounded, but realize that they had seen the master.
This book most lucidly explains his diabolic methods, and he most generously
divulges two of his very favorite effects. These up to the present were
strictly 'sub rosa.' I only wish that when I was young I could have had
a book of this quality to learn the true art of coin manipulation." --
