I am looking for a nice version of this trick (or a similar effect). The only condition is that they have to be borrowed coins (or any items for that matter) as I have had routines that require 'soft' coins, as to eliminate talking. Thanks for any help.

Only the end of the trick needs soft coins if you want to make them vanish. And even that can be worked around if you use a pull.

Check out Corey Burke's notes "Sense." he uses silver dollars, but I'm sure you can work it out with quarters if you like.

Don't forget, anytime you are going to the pocket to ditch something, you could also be loading something......such as your ramsey stack for the Cylinder and coins, or a ring or whatever makes sense as a segway into your next effect. So rather than having the three coins vanish, how about transposition with a tabled item or a borrowed item?

Check out a book by Allan Kronzek, called "Alkazar, or Secrets of Magic for a Young MAgician" I think it is. There is a great routine in there called "The Homing Stones" done with pebbles or rocks that you just pick up off the ground. Or, Look art Ron Bauer's "Private Studies Series", for his "Gadabout Coins Revisited", a terrific update of the routine from Bobo. Charlie Miller has addressed this several times in his "Magicana Column", even ending the trick with the production of a lemon. Or, you could look at the "Stars of Magic", where you'll get two for the price of one if you study the Malini-Bey sugar cube routine called "Chink-a-Chink". Oh, and while you're there, don't overlook Scarne's "Three Ball Trick", which again adresses the "Two in hand, one in pocket" theme, introducing the props by producing them, and ending the routine by vanishing everything! And then there is the "Dai Vernon Book of Magic" where you'll find Dai's approach, with dice. It makes a great conclusion to the "Sack's Dice Routine" from "Classic Secrets of Magic" by Bruce Elliott. Dai's effort is called "The Vernon Dice Climax", and uses the "Two in Hand, One in Pocket" idea to set up a humorous production of different sized dice. The literature abounds with examples of applications of this plot, you just have to know where to look...

I used to do this effect all the time and I still love it.
perhaps using rune klan's click pass could be used. I don't see a necessity for soft coins. I use the simple version from Bill Tarr's "Now you see it. Now you don't" Very nice.

Eric,
I love and use the idea of take while putting. It allows some interesting transitions. When I used to work Ren-Fest and other outside venues, I loved to end with a coin changing into a grasshopper. (Insert your own old, Kung-fu, the T.V. Show joke here) Be safe, well and creative. Harris

It means they're worn down so much that when they rub against each other, they make no noise.
I do see a need for them - or at least a use - if you're trying to ditch a bunch in your pocket secretly, the slickness helps cut down on noise drastically. I'm sure that this can be circumvented in other ways, but slicks are pretty surefire for entering pockets quietly. I'm specifically refering to the Ron Bauer Gadabout Coins Revisted routine - what's nice about that trick is the justification for why you're using old worn out coins is covered in the script.

Hey, Godhandz,
I noticed you're from Charlottesville... I used to go to the university...where do you pick up your supplies...online? I'm pretty sure there's no magic shop, per se...or is there? All the best, fib |

I've done different versions of two in the hand, one in the pocket with coins, but my favorite routine is Ron Bauer's Gadabout Coins. It's the most logical to me and has the strongest ending.
As for coins themselves? I use liberty halves, only because I love the way they look. But maybe they also are worn down enough not to talk--I don't know. As far as ditching the coins noiselessly: Don't know if it's completely noiseless, but it can be done without detection if you hold them all face-to-face together till the end. Also, when working with an apron, I put a bandana in the pocket, folded lengthwise. Then I can stash the coins in different places, near each other, but without them touching. Hope that helps. I will say this much: I paid ten bucks for the Gadabout Coins routine, and it's repaid itself in spades in very short order. |

Any one of these versions works just as well with balled up sugar packets, bills, cocktail napkins, etc. That should take care of your noise problem.
