Hi all,
I recently saw a routine with chinese coins and a piece of ribbon, the coins were put on then removed one by one. I think this maybe called chinese connection but I'm not sure, but I'm looking for online shops that carry this..prefer a site with a video but not necessary. Thanks

I think the trick you are looking for is the charming chinese challenge. by troy hooser

Hooser, Troy - Charming Chinese Challenge DVD
Troy Hooser's Charming Chinese Challenge has become a masterpiece of coin magic. Why? It's extremely visual, totally practical and very easy to do plus it resets instantly. The Charming Chinese Challenge is absolutely the best penetration effect you’ve ever seen! The effect is clean and simple: Three Chinese coins are threaded onto a silk ribbon. One by one the coins visually penetrate through the ribbon. You won’t believe your eyes as the coins jump both off and on the ribbon. The routine is captured during a live performance. Designed to be performed in extreme close-up conditions such as walk-around, trade shows or formal environments, Troy's routine will soon become a cornerstone of your repertoire. Even if you're not a heavy coin worker, you'll soon be able to master this fabulous routine. Each part is taught in excruciating detail, nothing is left out. Originally published in "DesTROYers ," this DVD contains much more information along with new handlings never before seen. These additional methods and sequences are well worth the price of admission, but there's a lot more. With contributions from Shoot Ogawa, Apollo and Thomas Wayne, The Charming Chinese Challenge has been taken to a new level.

look at that site.

Thanks...Yep that's it. Does it come with the coins or are they bought seperate? Would be nice to get an idea of coin size. Thankyou again.

The coins are not included. He uses half dollar size coins.

You can get the special, deceptively thin, coins (they come with a ribbon, too) from joshuajay.com but he told me Troy wants to sell the coins and the routine separately.

The routine can be found in his book, DesTROYers or his lecture notes if you've had the chance to see him. As mentioned above, the Charming Chinese Challenge now has its own DVD you can purchase as well.

There was a routine that a magician named Leroy Gause came up with during the early 1970's. In fact it was so early during the 1970's that it may have happened during the late 1960's.

It involved a brown ribbon and three chinese coins. He called it "Who Flung Poo?" He had a very funny poem that went along with it and it got lots of laughs.
