Modern Coin Magic

Summary: Coin Masterpiece
Review: This book, which I purchased nearly 6 years ago, is a god send. For those who are not owners of it, it is a well written masterpiece needed in the library of any magi. Even if you are strictly a card manipulator, the concepts and techniques between its covers can open new ways of seeing. I myself prefer to work only with cards, but there have been times when I was without a deck and coins were all I could get my hands on. Without this book I would have been toast. I found this book to be so useful that I now own two copies, the paperback, and the hardback. I suggest to all my fellow magi out there that if you don't have this book, get it, and if you truely love it, find the hardback too. The hardbound edition coontains several more chapters not included in the paper bound edition. Also on my recommendations list are Jean Hugards Royal Road to Card Magic (available heere...), John Northern Hilliards Greater Magic (hard to find, check your dealers or online), and the four volume set entitled Card College by robert Giobbi.

Review: This is THE classic for coin sleights. It covers everything from the basics to more advanced stuff. You won't need to buy another book on coin magic. The only reason this book does not receive 5 stars is that I think that it could have more illustrations and photos. You CAN learn from this book, but I am not sure if it is the BEST book for the beginner.

Summary: Coin Magic at a Bargain Price
Review: This is the must-have, classic compendium of coin conjuring, in an affordable, softbound Dover edition. It's a great way to start. If you're serious about continuing your quest for mastery, you'll next want to find a hardbound copy of J.B. Bobo's "The New Modern Coin Magic", which is an expanded edition of the book offered here.
