Thanks again guys, Ike & Mike first appeared in my Short Pockets download as a practice trick, but it evolved to be able to stand on it's own as a really nice coin effect. I've received a great deal of PMs and emails as to it. It was always aimed at building basic skills into greater & greater magic. It's just 2 coins, but really so much more.
And while I'm at it here, I just want to mention how important it is to mix in other things with your coin work. While coins are my favorite part of magic, variety is what helps make you a better overall closeup man. I mix the coins in with other things and the specs are always take by surprise, as I veer left & right on a real roller coaster ride.  The coins are the stars of the show, most times open & close, but the jelly in the middle is the variety of other things. That's why in some of my magic I have included little card effects I've thought of. And during these quarantine situations, with so much time on my hands over the many months now, well, let's say it wasn't all coins...
It's helped a decent-at-best coin guy like myself, look like a pretty darn good card (and better all-around closeup) man as well.

I used to do this on the fly for people all around the New York City streets. A lotta fun for one coin that very magically becomes two, and then oh boy, watch out now! 😁

Hey, thanks stevie. I hope you enjoy it. It’s like a seed that keeps growing that allows you to learn, build & create. 😉
And here’s another neat way to get into it from something Michael Eaton does, and a little of my own deceptive razzle-dazzle mixed in. 😉

Just a perfect card trick for a coin guy, and what fun!
That he took time to share a good word here is really something....A sorta recognition of cross pollination that is absolutely magical.
Again, again, & again...Thank you, thank you all. ☺️

...But if you don't want an effect to be so involved, you just want something cute & fun to do for people as you move about, then perhaps something like this one would work good for you. Nothing hard to it and it is delivered via a nice little story. I have done it for adults and kids as well, they all appreciate the magic in it.

I'll be studying your Crimp Change Redux now, Mb.
It looks fantastic and is something I'll enjoy practicing so I couldn't resist.
Am I right in thinking you cover your Liwag Subtlety in this one? It's finished downloading now so I'm off for a look. Thanks again, Mb! Edit: I see that you do cover the Liwag Subtlety. Great stuff. |

Thanks for checking it out, it's some of my best work.
After first putting out the Crimp Change long ago now, I came to learn quite a bit more about what made the move look and work even better. The Crimp Change ReDux, addressed all the nuances that made the move even more magical. In wrapping it with other devilish deceptions, like the Liwag Subtlety and using the Quick Pitch, it makes it all more of a weapon than simply a move.
I've received a lot of interest in this work over the years, and so happy to see that people still appreciate me sharing what I found and kept finding as to this gem. I've done a lot with the move, like this...
https://vinnymarini.com/index.php/produc......te-koin/ Incidentally, I hope you like the manuscript I try to include in most of my downloads. It's where I get to better explain my thinking, and I think it's a better overall value than just you downloading instructional videos, which I also include as well. So, while I don't have a book of my work, my manuscripts are sorta my little contribution to that kind of more literary effort.

And funs, as to that old dream effect with the old man, well, I mentioned coming up with a few ways to make that sorta magic happen but nothing any better than the Crimp Change, mostly because it kept leading me further & further down the trail as to magical possibilities, that I really didn’t see anyone else doing quite this way. Not an exact bullseye but another real winner none-the-less...
I’ve posted quite few of my effects in this string, probably none of which you’ll find in any book, which is why you need to look a bit further than that a lot of times, if for nothing else but to maybe find what you don’t quite expect, from someone or someplace you ordinarily wouldn’t expect it from. 😉 Man, what a journey! 🙏🏼😊

Thanks MB for the magical little give-away. I must admit it wasn't what I was expecting, but I think that made it all the more enjoyable, and I'm leaning ever more toward your philosophy of keeping things simple and streamlined. I wish I'd seen this some time ago!!
My little library of your stuff from VM's site is giving me lots of enjoyment, and keeps opening up new possibilities and ideas. It's enabled me to be more inventive, and today's little bonus has given me a couple more things to ponder and work on. Thanks buddy. Top bloke!!! BW Steve |

Well Mb, I thoroughly enjoyed reading through the notes you sent over. Thank you! I absolutely 100% share your less is more philosophy and you've given me a couple of new things to explore. Your gentle, laid-back approach to the subject is the perfect de-stresser - I could read it all day.
Thanks yet again, Mb. Please take care and keep up your fantastic work. |

Hey, thanks you guys, so happy you and so many others are enjoying this bit of magical info. 😊
I was quite surprised by all the interest, and that it has come from people well beyond just this forum, and even a few Magi’s from around the globe, well, that’s truly amazing. 🤗 It jammed-up my in-box a bit but that’s OK...That’s “Good Trouble!” 😁👍🏽 I will continue to make it available as long as people seem to enjoy it and find some real value in it. And as I said, just PM me.😉 And in the meantime here, a little magic...Music maestro, please...😁
