Has anyone tried Roth's purse and glass routine? What size glass works best for you? Please note that this isn't the wild coin routine. Thanks in advance.

As mentioned in his book, you will probably do well with an "old fashioned" or double shot glass.
Yes, it's an interesting routine. LOTS to learn in that one. Enjoy the education.

Go to Crate & Barrel. They have the shot glass you're looking for . . .
Strong routine. Worth the effort to practice. |

Or go to a bar, do a card trick or two (if it's slow) and ask to buy one. I did and they just gave me one.
That's as close as I've gotten to practicing this gem! Doug, you should have just hit up J.C. for one.

I actually had this routine "down" for a couple years. The problem is where to perform it. The lapping thing is hard to overcome and find the perfect place to do it. I guess maybe every time you sat down in a restaurant you could carry the purse and glass with you. (or everytime I sat down at a bar like Frank)
I do it with Chinese coins and half dollars. I just like the change from half to chinese coin better (and the brass coins are quieter during the false placement into the purse). Actually, what I would like is someone to make the Planet set up for me. You can buy the globes just about anywhere. It's what's IN the globe that's a pain. Anyone? Hello? Also, while we're on the subject, how about someone who can make the setup for the Tommy Wonder's Watch, Ring and Wallet routine. I'm tempted to take the schematics to a jeweler to have him laugh at me, but my self-esteem is a little low now . . . |

Fan of the Purse And Glass should also investigate Gary Kurtz's varient in Richard's Almananc and Geoff Latta's version (which is shown but not taught) on the Coinvention DVD.
Both are stand up handlings without lapping. |

Slightly off-topic, but Tommy Wonder manufactures the props for his routine himself. If you opt for that patience is more an issue than money. But hey, you're willing to let a jeweller laugh at you...;-)
The globes you mention I've never seen here. I'm jealous. The purse and glass routine look like they're created for formal close-up situations. Wouldn't it be a fun idea to open a thread where we could discuss how to create more venues and make the audience more aware of the possibilities of just that? Roth's book alone has a ton of routines that would play very well!

Geoff's routine is published in his new lecture notes. Mike |

Regarding the Kurtz version - Penny Lane, it does require lapping and you must be seated. !!

The servante described in a routine later in Roths's book suffices to permit one to perform his Purse and Glass pretty much as written though while standing. The methods used in that routine can also be applied toward a standup handling without the servante.

For me, one of the highlights of the latest NYC Coin Magic Seminar in PA was during part of the seminar, David Roth taught his “Purse and Glass” routine, immediately followed by Geoff Latta’s “Purse, Coins, No Glass” which was inspired by Roth’s original routine.
Right after this, Mike Gallo arrived, and his opening effect was dumping 3 copper coins and 3 silver coins onto the table. He puts the three coppers into the purse and closes it. He picks up the three silver coins and instantly they all change to copper. He opens the purse, and dumps out the silver. So Mike’s routine was the super speedy fast handling of a similar plot. It was a funny contrast to see that routine immediately after David and Geoff’s more involved versions. Mike Rubinstein said, “That’s David and Geoff sped up!” Latta tells Gallo that, “There were not enough moves.” Gallo responds, “No, you just missed them!” Funny stuff. |

I actually performed Mike's routine in the Closeup Room at the Castle several years ago. I love that routine! Is that in Richard's Almanac, I believe?

mike gallo Inner circle 1341 Posts |
Doug, what Dan is talking about is similar to the one in the Almanac...but the one I did at the Coin Seminar (at least in my opinion) is much much better (than the one in the Almanac that is)!

Oh great. now I'll never know.
I didn't get to see it. |

Not to worry Doug, instead when someone tries to tease you about a trick, go and invent a better one.
When they are ready to let go of their work, they will publish. In the mean time you can work on things that have use to you.

Jonathan...this was not a tease...it was a response to Doug's question as to whether or not the trick Dan described was the one I published in Richards Almanac. Now, how do you invent a better trick of a trick you don't know? And if Doug wants to know...all he has to do is ask...I respect Dougs work greatly...and I am willing to share with him because of that! See, now wasn't that simple.

But the idea of the coins swithcing places was great. Is the variations you mention without the glass? Basically I'm looking for a similar routine, but a bit more impromptu.

Anyway more importantly, it can be done impromptu, in any situation and ,my favorite part, in the spectator's hands! -Bill |

It just occured to me, everyone can see the newer routine that Mike did by watching the NYC Coin Magic Montage. It is at the 1:00 minute mark in the video.

I think that Roth, Latta, and Gallo will be doing and teaching their routines at the New York coin Magic Seminar Vegas!
