I started out with the intention of watching all of these but got sidetracked watching your videos, David.

Funny stuff.

I loved the wallet bit with the host you hugged. Very cool.

Now, I really am going to watch the rest of these.

Thanks.

It's amazing how much time you can spend (waste?) on youtube. You open it at 9:00am to take a quick look at a clip of someone doing the Zarrow Shuffle and 5 hours later you look up from a video of two cats playing the lute and wonder where the day went.

Speaking of which, here are 5 more tricks from Genii magazine that have recently been posted or discovered:

Genii, August, 2009 • "Silvery & Sorcery" (Tom Stone), a cylinder-and-coins routine:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dgSYY-8SEEo

Genii, December, 1999 • "Submarine Coins" (Dr. Hiroshi Sawa), an unusual three-coins-across routine:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9QxWS4eUpQ

Genii, November, 1994 • "The Very Best Tabled False Cut" (Martin Nash), from Gary Ouellet's Fulminations column, performed here as part of Ouellet's "Three Second Wonder":
