4 Coin Magic Title in 1 Auction - Must bid item for Coin Magic Lover
Knockout Coin Magic - Michael Rubinstein DVDThree Volume Set
These just might be the best coin tapes ever made! This material has been sought after by magicians for years and now all three volumes are available on one 4 Hour DVD!
Volume One
Bologna Debut, a gradual production of coins with a surprising ending.
Purse Spellbound concerns a half dollar in a purse viewed by the spectator. With the purse in his hands, the spectator suddenly discovers the half dollar has changed to a Chinese coin.
Twilight Zone is a routine with a Midas touch. Four copper coins turn to gold, one at a time, then magically, return to copper. This trick introduces the Duo-Mat idea to good advantage. A useful device that eliminates pocketing.
The Black Hole. A black disc, slightly larger than a half dollar, is displayed. With the "hole" flat on the table, four coins are apparently tossed in this black space. The black "hole" is picked up and magically changes to a small black box which, when opened, reveals the missing coins. A most effective and amusing routine.
Shuttle Flight. Four half dollars are vanished, one at a time and make a reappearance beneath a playing card. Neat coin handling with easy-to-follow moves, thanks to the close-up camera work and good lighting.
Okito Klinker is an Okito Box routine with a surprising touch that makes this a real winner for any close-up worker. The empty coin box is covered with its lid. A half dollar is tossed toward the covered box and heard to arrive. Two more coins are tossed magically into the box and the spectator hears each coin as it arrives in the box. He removes the lid and believes what he heard, as the three coins are found within. This is a pretty effect and a clever bit of deception.
Partial listing of sleights taught on Volume 1 - Gallo Pitch, Shuttle Pass, Fake Purse Takeout, R.O.P.S. Move, Edge Grip, Spider Vanish, Ramsey Subtlety, Impromptu Touch Change, Variation of the Bobo Switch, Spellbound Change Over Palm, Spellbound Move, Rubinstein Spellbound Change, Variation Retention Pass, Sol Stone Slap Change, Rosenthal Coin Steal, Matting a Coin, Pick Up Load, Lid Load, Roth's Imp Pass
Volume Two
Voodoo Revelation is a happy combination of card and coin magic, with a number of magical surprises. A chosen card is shuffled in the deck and the cards placed aside. Five copper coins are arranged in a row. One is chosen and a white gummed sticker affixed and the spectator places his name or initials on this coin for identification. The coin is now placed, sticker side down, beneath a metal chalice (or cup). Now, the magic starts. The four remaining coins are picked up and turned over, one at a time. Each coin also has a white sticker and each bears the spectator's name or initials. The coins are dropped in the chalice. One at a time, the coins are removed and turned over, the stickers have vanished but a word appears on each coin. The layout of the four coins (plus the original selection from beneath the chalice, from which the sticker has vanished) form a sentence which names the chosen card. Upon looking through the deck, the chosen card is seen to have the missing sticker attached to its face.
Arithmatic Coins is an amusing two coin routine with an old and 'new math' theme.
Kaps Matting Copper/Silver is a neat presentation of Fred Kaps' routine where four half dollars end up as four Chinese coins.
The Dream - A routine with a purse and four coins plus a story of a dream of entering a competition for the world's greatest magician.
Tax - The performer relates a visit to a store and a purchase in which he has but a half dollar. Price of the article is one dollar so, magically, another half dollar appears. When emphasis is placed on the one dollar price, the two halves change to a silver dollar. When the storekeeper indicates that additional tax is required, the performer clasps both hands and produces a handful of thumb tacks!
Magic Coins is a neat, ungimmicked coin routine that will puzzle knowing wizards who suspect magnetic coins.
Giant Sucker Coin Vanish is an amusing routine with a jumbo coin. There is sucker by-play with 'under-the-arm' hideaway a la egg bag buffoonery of yesteryear. The tape concludes with a description of the Fingerless Retention Pass.
Partial listing of sleights taught on Volume 2 - Ramsey Coin Switch, Rubinstein Coin Turnover, Fingertip Retention Shuttle Pass, One Hand Coin Switch, Sticker Switch, Secret Coin Addition, Revolving Coin Load, R.O.P.S.

Double Click Pass, Spellbound Move, Goshman Steal (Blow Change).
Volume Three
The Heckler offers the performer an opportunity to demonstrate what he can do to fool the 'wise guy' or 'heckler' who is determined to explain just 'how it is done.' There are vanishes, appearances and changes during which a bent coin and one with a hole play an important part.
Silverlint II is a copper/silver sequence that starts after a piece of silver lint is plucked from your clothing. A giant half dollar is involved with this brief bit of coin chicanery.
Two Card Reverse Matrix is an unusual matrix effect using two cards from which the centers have been cut, thus making them into window cards. Even though the spectator can see through the cards, the customary matrix routine is presented, with coins vanishing and accumulating. The surprise finish is when suddenly, the four coins are discovered back in their original four corners of the close-up mat.
Giant Four coins Through the Table. Four jumbo coins penetrate the table top one at a time. Beautifully routined - looks impossible!
Karate Coin - A thumb penetration of a half dollar.

Coins Akiras by Akira Fujii
"Akira Fuji's work with coins is both elegant and edgy, both subtle yet bold, but most importantly it fools you badly." - Nathan Kranzo
The Effect
In 1993, Akira Fujii's lecture notes were released in Japan. At that time, the Muscle Pass was transformed from an acrobatic stunt to an element of real magic.
In 1996, Coins Akira's was developed as a routine that did not use gimmicked coins.
In 2002, rumors spread to foreign countries and 'Jet Coin' was published in Genii Magazine.
Now this routine - and others - are explained on DVD!
Flash Back: Four coins concealed with cards (in a Matrix set-up) . Coins gathers in one place, and immediately return to their starting positions!
Jet Coin: Three coins pass from one hand to the other. This is NOT your standard Coins Across!
Ghost Sound: A sucker trick with coins.
Grow Up Coin: One coin disappears and reappears, then expands visibly - twice!
Three Ahead: Three coins thrown in the hand disappear. You have to see the work on this one to believe it!
Up In Smoke DVD - Paul Cummins
There are seven routines on this DVD. Four of the coin routines involve the "underhanded" process that allows for extremely clean handling and must be performed standing. Two of the coin routines are performed on the table-top. Finally, there is a bonus card routine, performable where ever you have a little table space and three willing spectators.There are four sections to the DVD, each with its own submenus for easy access. One section is performance only. Another section explains virtually every coin sleight used within all six coin routines (including the Gallo Pitch, an outstanding substitute for the venerable Han Ping Chien), those sleights NOT limited to the "underhanded" process. The third section describes the how-to of each routine, and finally, the last section has the performance and explanation of the bonus card routine. All of the sleights and routines are explained in great detail.
Effects Included on this DVD:
The Invisible Hand - An absolutely baffling coin vanish and reproduction, performed stand-up and surrounded. May be performed in one's bathing suit!
Citation Silver -Bob Elliott's wonderful stand-up routine in which a copper and a silver coin switch places, multiply, and change inexplicably. Performed and explained with Bob's permission.
Pitchin' Penetration - A lead-them-down-the-garden-path-and-turn-on-the sprinkler effect, this stand-up routine allows the performer to push a half-dollar through flesh and change two half-dollars into a silver dollar very, very cleanly.
Underhanded Coins Across - A classic: the stand-up coins across. Underhanded methodology leaves no fathomable clue for your spectators and the routine introduces a new sequence in which the last two coins travel from hand to hand without the hands coming together at all!
The above routines introduce my handling and performance management of an old sleight-of-hand utility device that has been updated and made extremely practical. Great emphasis has been put on detailed explanation of this 'underhanded' concept.
Top Billing - The original Matrix routine using paper currency for covers, this routine has been a worker for over 25 years when table-hopping at restaurants and corporate events.
KnihC - A - Knihc - This version of the Chink - A - Chink plot features an astounding instant reversal. An extremely easy routine to perform that will stun your audiences.
Another Sequestered Collectors - The Bonus Card Routine for this tape, a collectors effect that is notably direct and uncluttered, it is the only routine of its genre that I use for the laity.
