I just want to know which kind of coin magic do you prefer, or do you like more, or do you love more? Not asking for the better, just for the one you like more: Stage Manipulation Coin Magic, or Close Up Coin Magic? All the best in magic, Pablo Tejero "The Magic is in the air, you just have to... breathe it!" Curtis Kam V.I.P. same as you, plus 3 and enough to make 3421 Posts Posted: Feb 17, 2003 8:36pm       That is not stupid question, or if it is one, it is a stupid question I asked also. It turns out that most of the routines I worked out for stage are very practical for close up work. Everyone has commented on the fact that professional close up magic is actually parlor, or standup/cabaret. Even at the restaurant, the only way to peform for the entire table (especially of five or more)is to do material written for the stage. So I like best: Stage manipulation done close up. They can't see the coins on a big stage, anyway. That magic should be done for smaller groups. See the magic of Gary Kurtz for good examples of how this works. Is THAT a PALMS OF STEEL 5 Banner I see? YARRRRGH!

You have a lot of reason in what you say, I think almost like you. And of course, Gary Kurtz is a great example of how what you said works. I like a lot this great close-up magician. Thanks again for your comments. All the best magic Mr Curtis Kam, Pablo Tejero "The Magic is in the air, you just have to... breathe it!"
