For a coin routine I have been thinking of what I could put together for a nice routine. This would only be 3 tricks in length, maybe 4 if I can learn a new trick.
I would open with Greg Wilson's "3/4 Across", next I was thinking signed quarter from sugar packet, and end it with sinful/coin in soda can. I am not sure if that is a good combo. The theme of the tricks seem to fit with each other. I would have added Greg Wilson's Quicksilver; however, I find it hard to practice. Can you think of any other tricks for this type of theme? I would throw in a few little things inbetween like some retention vanishes and french drops.

I don't think this is a constructive routine. It's merely a collection of tricks.
Try to make it locigal. Let the effects weave into each other. Why not produce three coins first, then go into 3/4 across, and then vanish the coins at the end? And why do you wanna throw in a couple of retention vanishes and french drops if it isn't necessary? Rather focus on your presentational skills then on sleights that aren't necessary. Hope this helps. Good luck! Simon |

I don't know I just find it harder to come up with a way of routining coin effects. I think that cards weave into different effects much easier. Perhaps it is only cause I know twice as much about cards than I do about coins.

I'm with Simon on this.
I fact I don't really do more than one coin trick, or for that matter of any other type. Appear the coins, have them move from hand to hand, change size, etc. but it should look like one trick. If you see what I mean. Check out Gary Kutz's Trio - which I think is the best example, you can't really tell that he is doing more than one trick. Unless you are a magician. Slydidi and Michel Close, among others, start with six coins, get rid of one. Do a trick with five coins, then get rid of another. And so on. Hope this helps. |
