Kaufman, Richard: CoinMagic(c) 1981, 1992 Richard Kaufman and Alan Greenberg266pg, Hardback, Illustrated by Richard KaufmanComments: An incredible collection of coin magic from David Roth, Geoffrey Latta, Sol Stone, Derek Dingle, and more! Well illustrated and explained. The David Roth section is somewhat duplicative of Kaufman/Roth’s Expert Coin Magic, but there is certainly enough here to warrant getting both volumes. Highly Recommended.Contents:1 Foreword by Jon Racherbaumer3 Introduction5 Retention Clip Vanish (Richard Kaufman): visual coin vanish6 Palm Change: coin change7 Fingertip Rest Postion: explained8 Palm and Grip Transfers: switching grips9 The David Roth Section10 The Shuttle Pass: utility move12 Edge Grip Technique: display, curl palm, edge grip load, Shuttle Pass from Edge Grip, Shuttle Pass Drop, Recovery17 The Scoop Addunder: adding a palmed coin to a group picked up from the table18 The Frontal Imp Pass: table coin pass20 Pop Outs: magical production of coin21 To Classic Palm One Coin of a Group22 The Deep Back Clip Steal: standing24 The Karate Coin: finger penetrates a coin tossed in the air28 The Complete Torn and Restored Coin: a coin is visibly torn and then restored (not a folder)30 Oval Purse Holdout: produce a stream of coins on command32 The Acentric Purse: production of coins from a purse frame35 High Flying Winged Silver: Coins across using edge grip39 Hanging Coins Plus: Coins vanish and reappear as they are hung on an invisible hook44 Flash Production: producing coins one at a time from apparently empty hands46 Standup Copper/Silver Classic: start/end clean.
