Review: My first copy of this book was the soft cover, the very same as is available here. A few years later I was given a gift of this same book, only this time it was a hardbound edition. My family and friends are aware that I love hardback books, as they tend to last longer. Much to my surprise though with this one, they publishers had added an additional four chapters, which totaled 100 new tricks! I thought the book was a masterpeice as a soft cover, boy was I in for a surprise. If you lke working with coins, this is a book o have. If you want to learn coin work, get it. Mark my words, once you have read it, and devoured it, you will crave to own the four new chapters. No matter which you end up owning, this is a definite conjurors companion.

Summary: Amazing book
Review: The best kind of magic involves the use of sleights. Using solely gimmicks leads the magician to be a bad magician. Some people like to see magic only with sleights. Gimmicks in many ways is like cheating. This is a great book covering so many sleights in coin magic that only Bobo could perfect it all. The only problem with this book is that there isn't any photos which show the exact position the coins should be in. A must buy if you want to be a "good" magician and be able to perform amazing tricks at the spur of the moment

Summary: Not just for Bobos
Review: There's no word to describe this book other than fantabulous. It is the one book every coin prestidigitator must have. It has everything you could ever possibly want to know about coing manipulation from simple passes and vanishes to spectacular routines and seemingly impossible flourishes. It starts from the very beginning so anybody can learn from this book, and finishes where few masters of the art tread. Completely comprehensive, if you so much as master the first couple chapters of the book, you can amaze almost anybody and if you master a couple more, you can amaze the rest. Eveything is clearly explained with many detailed diagrams. It has been the bible for coin magic ever since it came out and I doubt it will be replaced anytime soon. This is a classic that you cannot do without.
