I recently bought this book on coin magic. It totally rocks and I'm addicted to it now.

I was wondering if there were any people out there you've either read this book, or have experience in sleight of hand that I could chat to, or even if there was a web site like HOP someone could direct me to ....

Nice one

Hey James

A friend of mine Nick is a very nifty magician and good at coin and other sleight of hand tricks. He's away at the mo though so remind me in a couple of weeks and I'll forward you his email address.

hmmm. i work in a call centre and ive been thinking of some object manipulation to do at work.
im quite often with hands free just talking so i could do with something (staff. no poi.definitly not. juggling. maybe)
i toyed with the idea of contact juggling but i know the ball would escape when i dropped it and wnder off on its own adventures to some deepest darkest corner of the office.
but coin manipulation now thats an idea.
nips off to have a look at the book and posisbly buy it

Have you tried pen spinning? Pretty fun and good for meetings.

There's material for coin rolling on the web (which is hard but fun ) but little on magic. The books great....

Pen spinning is cool. It's a lot easier to use a silicone handstick (for devil sticks) if you have one, but im sure that could be classed as cheating!
I cant do coin magic but i can roll the coin through my fingers both ways on each hand! Thats a pretty cool trick to learn!!

Great buy DSS. I love these old books, and Bobo's got to be the best around. I brought the book a while ago, but found it difficult to practice coin tricks as well keep spinning. There are a few sites on coin and pen tricks; will post address later.

Try Micro Juggling for coin, pen, and other manipulations.

Have you seen this one yet? pens spinning

I've figured out a really cool trick that's on this site if your interested. It's a pain the bum to explain so ask if you want to know how to do it...
