I want to know what coin material you do when you go out and perform regularly, what are the things you couldn't leave out of your professional rep?
My coin work is limited at the moment but I would have to say that mine would be:
exTROYdinary
Trinity (Apollo and Shoot)
David Roth's coins across (with shell)
Coppa Silva (Chris Korn)
3 Fly, a combination of various ones
er... that's all I can think of right now
what about you guys?

I'm doing more original stuff than anything else lately. But my staples are CSB and Chinatown routines. Copper / silver routines using Ult. C/S, Adv. C/S, or Mag C/S sets are also high on the list.

Best,

Mike

Copper-Silver (mine)
Trio in Three (Kurtz/Mine)
Triple Spellbound (Kurtz/Townsend/Kam/Mine)
One coin routine (you know who)
Pretty much that's it, of course this isn't all in one set. I spread it out a bit.

I also do a few 3 fly's (different peoples and my own) I like the C/S stuff a lot. I do a lot of my own styles of matrix tricks as well. I don't do the matrix a lot at my restaurants because I don't carry a mat. People seem to enjoy a lot of the basic coin stuff. I came up with a killer new switch that I've adapted to my c/s that is just flooring them. Hope to have that out soon. Trying to make sure every part of it is mine first. Ive talked and showed this switch to a lot of big coin guys and they all say its mine o mine. Once I get the final word it will be added to the notes. Enjoy

Stand-up = Misers Dream, a coins across (sometimes a visible coins across), coins to glass.

Close-up (table hopping, walk around) = gimmickless and in the spectators hands hopping halves, coins across (sometimes a visible coins across), Gadabout coins, coins to purse, Chinese Bit (copper, silver, brass from Ken Brooke), coins through hank.

Close-up (sitting) = coins through table, two coin (copper and silver coins not the gimmick) coin box routine, Chinese Bit, Matrix using borrowed coins and bills as covers.

Yes, like most others here I have dozens of routines but I tend to fall back on these. Next year may be different.

I do palm up coins across. It kills any one who sees it. I do the original and still best version. (YOU da man John) no disrespect to Kenner and Liwag who have their "own" version.

Coin transpos, coins across, VCA, some original things - and much more, but these are the "core" material.

In my COINvention notes, you will find a lot of new, unique, stand up coin material, with many new sleights and concepts found nowhere else. PM me if interested.

The only coin routines that I do on a regular basis is a copper silver transpo with a gold dollar and quarter and Mr. Clean Coins Across with quarters. This is mostly because I am not too talented with coins and also for these two tricks all I need is 2 gold dollars.

My work is unpublished and based on original sleights. All the routines are done standup, with no sleeves, using silver dollars and no gaffs except for a Silver/Brass coin that is used in one routine:
1. Coins from Vegas: A misers dream done in the hands with patter in verse. The most challenging effect I do.
2. 4 Coins Across: 4 coins only, no counting. This is the effect I do if I have only time for one effect and I'm surrounded.
3. Digestable Coins: 3 coins one by one are ingested until all are gone, then produced one at a time.
4. Lucky Chinese Coin: A triple coin change with a charming story of a Chinese immigrant needing exact change.
5. Coins To Pocket: 4 silver dollars go from hand to pocket one at a time. Only 4 coins used.

I use:

coppa/silva (Korn)
Coins to Glass (Mine, but influcenced from Shoot Ogawa's routine from CX2)
VCA (Influcenced from McClintock/Harbottle/Kenner)
Neo Purse Frame(Shoot Ogawa)
The Deep (Kenner)
Coin on shoulder (Apollo)
Timing (Reed McClintock's Knuckle Buster vol.1)
Eric Mead's copper/silver transpo AKA 'A fine howdy do' (From his Triple X notes)
Frank Drubina's Coin Routine (Um, do I really need to say who made this? But I did change it from dimes to halfs, and I use less coins. Six seemed to repeative)




I'm trying to work on a copper/silver transpo that only uses two coins in the spectators hand so I can set up a watch steal, but I have to work out a few bugs first.

Table Hopping Wild Coin
Elbow, Knee, and Neck
One Coin Routine
Pyramid Coins (vanish reproduction of 3)
Cigarette Through Quarter
$100 Bill Switch (Mismade..this is money after all)
