Anybody able to comment on the routine 'Punishment' from Jim's new book? I would love to know the effect of this standup routine and it sounds like a challenge! Does it play well? Anybody done it themselves? What sort of practice time are we talking here? How do I get my whites whiter?

Hello!
I don't have that book yet. I do however have a video of him performing and explaining his 13 coin matrix effect which is ungaffed from his video tricks from my lecture. He does it standing up, it's a challenge, and it is hard. Practice time for this routine that I am talking about isn't too long as long as you can already palm 9 half or silver dollars in almost each hand and release them one at a time. great routine but not too practical if it's the one I'm thinking of. Sort of a Jim Pace special. |

Chris,
Punishment is the barehanded production with sleeves rolled up of three coins that then consecutively vanish. To put it...simply amazing. I have seen Jim perform this plus the variations. This is something you want to get your hands on if you want something to bust your chops. Seth |

Thanks for the post!
I was giving the total wrong routine then! The one that I gave was really hard though and I didn't know the name so I thought that might have been it. Pace's stuff is great. Go with it |

What amazes me most about Jim is how genuinely modest and unassuming he is. He really thinks he is "just an average magician." The guy has some phenomenal chops! He takes these ridiculously difficult routines and performs them effortlessly. They are not difficult just for the sake of being difficult--they are truly powerful pieces, exceptionally well constructed.
I first met Jim at the A-1 convention where he first performed and lectured. I was one of two people he chose from the audince to assist him at the table. When he did that matrix, I was dumbfounded! I had the great pleasure of introducing him to Dan Fleshman, another great but underrated coin worker, at the Day of Magic in Hollywood a little while later. They each performed some coin stuff for the other and both were impressed, as was everybody else! Much of Jim's coin stuff is beyond my ability, but if you have good hands and lots of time to practice, you won't find much better!

Jim's son and I talk about how cool Jim is, and how amazingly good he is at magic. Yet we are around Jim at the shop and he is so as you described, "genuinely modest." The guy is one of the greatest magicians I have ever seen. Yet he doesn't let that get in his way. I respect that greatly in a magician.
There is no way he is just another average magician. The man has the skill and passion for magic. If you want to see some good coin work, Jim is the guy you want to see. |
