Argh. Never heard of three fly. Any video/book that teaches this? Is it gaffed? please let me know
(as by my numbers of posts, pretty easy to see I'm quite new at this =) And in relation to the topic, I've seen David Roth's spellbound routine.. even knowing full well how it's run, it still brings the wide eyed expression to my eyes. ^^ |

Franz-O You'll find lots of topics on Jonathan Townsends VCA/3fly may be worth doin a search. You'll find good things said about Chris Kenners 3Fly, Gary Kurtz - Trio/ Misty like a Dream, Paul R Wilson - Crowded Coins. Else you can wait with baited breath for Jon Townsends origional version to be published or Mickey Silvers Spit fly. Enjoy the journey into coins across the nose ;-D

I've done my coins across at school, work, bars, parties... never had a problem with the trick playing. Then again, it helps to have a presentation for the thing.
note to the new guy, there is a great book: The Ramsay Legend that includes a trick called Three Coins in the Hat. I wanted add a break in the vanishes in the routine with a coins across. Little did I know that interlude in the trick would be so fascinating to other magicians. The version folks seem to be working from is the routine Kenner published in his magazine, and then again in a book or two called Three Fly or Menage et Trois. There is also some cross pollination from work later published by Gary Kurtz. You see, we both got pointed to the Ramsay stuff by Geoff Latta. Me as a fellow new yorker back around 1975, and Gary a bit later around 1979. At the time there were just a few of us holding coins like that. And those of you whe were around the probably remember what took most of the coin magic world by storm just a few months later. I was just lucky in being the only one (at that time?) foolish enough to take David at his word and try to recombine Ramsay's and Roth's techniques to update that Ramsay trick directly. Mickey Silver has a routine called Spit Fly where he seems to put a coin in his mouth, then spit the thing into his other hand. Spellbound is another big subject. The trick almost tells a story as written, though without explicit context. Just content. The changes are quite good especially if you get Ganson's Art of Closeup Magic Volume I and learn that last change which did not make it into the Tannen's Stars of Magic routine. Routines built around some sort of Protean Pelth will be with us for some time. I've done the thing in context of a Wildcoin routine using 'coin polish', 'foreign exchange' and other presentations. Even done as a 'in this light it looks silver but from that angle it looks copper' it can play well.
...to all the coins I've dropped here
