In the NY Coin Magic Seminar DVD Disc #2 Bonus section Dr Rubinstein demonstrate the "Perfect Coin Across" set to music. IMHO is one of the best presentation of the Coin Across routine.

I wonder if this routine is explained in any of the NYCMS DVD's.

Well, I watched all Dr Rubinstein routines in Volume 1 but couldn't find his "Perfect Coin Across" among them.

Keep looking...it's in the DVD's (volume 1). when I say keep looking, I mean look everywhere in the DVD. Happy hunting (I'd be very surprised if you really couldn't find it).

Best Smile

You can simply say which one has better: angles, looks more fishy, more smooth, more convincing etc. there are thousand crtierias you can use to dtermine which one is "better".

I don't agree with you memory-jah because all of this conditions can be good and bad at the same time. Because it depends on what conditions you are performing.
I think its a matter of opinion.
Is there a vid showing that coins across on the web? I'd like to see it if it is that good Smile

I am not sure what [ to use for coinone. that's why I never performed it so far. I have no experiences with ['s. Some tricks require a [ which is half trimmed(?) (i mean you can slide the [ easily over the coin. So some some have an open edge, some not...

For Homer Liwag's Coin One you just need an ex*anded sh*ll. Later on you can spend more money if you wish.

No.

An "Ex*anded" sh*ll is one that is simply a bit larger than a regular coin, hence the word, "Ex*anded."

That half cut sh*ll you speak of here is I believe normally called a S**ppery S*m, where the regular coin can then slide in and out of the sh*ll instead of it being lifted up off the coin.

Though I suppose a SS can also be of the "ex*anded" variety as well and most times probably is. But in general terms they are two different gaffs with different usages.

Ah finally I am enlightened haha. Thanks mb for the info.

does anyone know where to get a single [ for Eisenhower dollars? before I got to the expensive (Morgan shells etc) stuff. I want to practise with cheaper coins I can afford.
Or does anyone of you have a Eisenhower expanded [ he wants to sell?

The best thing to do is keep a "look out" of the Tricks and Effects For Sale or Trade forum... and Johnson sells an affordable Eisenhower shell.

Unforunately, it's out of stock at the moment. If I find or run into any, I'll let you know. Smile

I bought my Eisenhower shell from misdirections magic shop in SF. Joe has everything online, but you can just call him for it directly:

He's a great resource!

$60 is a very good price. A lassen would cost at least $100.

Keep in mind also, that Johnson makes some of the best COMMERCIAL gaffs available. That's a great price. Smile I'm sure you can get it cheaper, but Johnson is the perfect combination between affordability and quality. Smile

I got an Eisenhower set from TCRyder... Johnson, good stuff. Performing CoinOne with half dollars is a little tougher.

I agree with above, keep an eye out in forums for a good deal.
