How would you complete this phrase? What makes someone a coin guy / gal? Are there routines that any self respecting coin guy must master?

What do you consider the industry standard? Like, don't start calling yourself a coin guy until you have mastered this, or that... Or until you have learned from this person, or that person? Or read this book, or that book?

Or maybe you need to have put in a certain amount of hours? Or developed certain calluses? Or purchased certain gaffs? Or maybe your coin roll must sit on the pillow where your wife's head used to lay (okay - that's a little over the top, I hope). But what would you say...

When is a person a coin guy?

A coin guy is a guy/girl who knows more than one or two effects and has more than one or two gaffs. You have routines rather than moves, and whatever you do looks polished and smooth. Your have several excellent working methods to vanish a coin so that you can choose the best one for the specific working conditions.

As far as specific tricks, you should be conversant in most of Bobo's, Roth and at least one or two other "Up and Commer's."

Which routines you choose to do, is up to you.

You know you're a coin guy if you pop a cold one and palm the cap.

If you leave your wallet at home three times, but never your coins, you might be a coin guy.

If, before you get rid of an old recliner, you have to take it apart to search for lost coins, you might be a coin guy.

If you have ever dropped a silver dollar on a tile floor at church, during a service, you might be a coin guy.

If you drive with your knees better than you drive with your hands, because you haven't actually driven with you hand in years since they are always busy doing something with coins, you might be a coin guy.

If, when someone asks to borrow a quarter, you search through a pocket of full of ten Morgan dollars, four chinese coin, dollar sized washer and a coin purse full of gaffs and have to apologize for not having a quarter, you might be a coin guy.

If your small children want to buy you coins for Christmas, you might be a coin guy.

If you spend hours searching for lost coins before trading a car in, you might be a coin guy.

If your number one criteria for choosing a pair of pants is the quality of the pockets, you might be a coin guy.

You're a coin guy if you won't leave the house without $4.50 in change, and it's worth $60.

You know you are a coin guy when magicians refer to you as one.

You know you're a coin guy...

when you entertain the idea of buying Spanish gold Pieces of Eight, because "they're the same size as your Morgans"...
