I just got back from Key West and picked up a set of hopping half gimmick. I was just wandering if there are any other tricks that can be performed with the set besides the usual.

Expanded S. are very useful coins.

Combine them with sleights and you can
get awesome results.

Check out various books like Kaufmans Coin Magic which has stuff from a variety of
sources.

Just start playing and you may come up
with stuff on your own.

Yeah, I only have a 100 or so! Take a look at my book list at http://www.stumagic.com/coinjurer/catalog.html, for a list of my books with lots of shell work in them. Also there's a routine or two for the sun & moon coin.

Thanks!

Thanks alot David. I haven't messed with it yet but I didn't know there was two gimmicks to the English Penny. I was just looking at it and found out.

Hi yea There is some stuff with A sun& moon coin in Bobo's! I also have A hoping half Routine Where you start out With Two real coins And ring in the gaff during the routine! It's in My Sound Routine book! ( that's My book on the rattle Gimmick) So you hear the coin come back as well as see the coin come back! And There Is so much cool stuff you can do with A shell. The coins trou the table Under A shot glass From Bobo's is just one of them! Ok Man Latter!

Hey David is there any non gimmick way to switch two real coins for gaffed coins? Thanks.

Hi Gimmick1586,

David has the real answer to your question.

I usualy do the non sleight C/S from Bobo's
first and pass both coins for exam. Do something different, and then bring out the hopping half set. No one suspects when they just held them in their hands a moment before, and since you finish clean.....

Hope you got the Johnson set. When you get boredyou can mix them with other sets for some real mind blowers.

Thanks for the tip, but David I couldn't find anything under sun and moon, or hopping half in Bobo's. Does it go under a different name.

The sun and moon coin in Bobo's is in the newer revised version, if you are using some paperback version, you probably don't have it.

Oh ok, I pretty much thought it wan't in there.

I use Jenest's "Short Hop" routine all the time. The coins can be examined at the beginning and they're gone at the end. What a nice routine.

Is this on the Jenest videotape Geoff?

Paul.

It's on Jenest's "Miracles While you Wait" video.

The variations are endless.

You can do a four coin routine with the expanded half shell and have them jump back and forth between the hands
