Where on the internet can I learn coin matrix

There are any number of books and DVDs that will demonstrate how to do a coin matrix - it is not technically difficult to do. The secret to a really good performance of the matrix is the patter and convincing the spectators of what they are seeing.
I haven't checked it out myself, but apparently there is a demo video at http://www.metacafe.com/watch/181266/coin_matrix_learn_it/ The difficulty mos inexperienced magicians have is the clean-up. John Cornelius published a great pick-up where the final card is shown back and face and completely clean. Depending on the situation, I sometimes use Mark Lee's Clone Coin gimmick which allows you to do a proper |Matrix and really only use 4 coins!! |

On the Internet, just look for good online magic stores and acquire books.
Look for Al Schneider's book which is the creator of matrix. And as Tony said, there are tons of books and DVD which include several versions of coin matrix. If you run a search on the Café I'm sure you'll find something. And even running a search on Google will give you good results. Antonio |

The John Cornelius move has come to me after a little searching through my books. It's called "Coin-Card Shade" and it's from issue number 52 of Apocalypse magazine Vol5 No.4 from 1982.
Phew. I feel better for that. Doesn't it bug you when you can't remember where you first saw a trick/effect/routine?.............Just me, then?! |

No idea about the Mark Lee gimmick (show me?) but Steve Dusheck has something that adds to the the Matrix trick like a glove for the hand. No extra sleight of hand required but wow what a coin vanish.
