New York Coin Magic Seminar(稀有)

The New York Coin Guys, David ROTH, Dr. Michael RUBINSTEIN, and Mike GALLO, have set the bar pretty high with their New York Coin Magic Seminar DVD series. The first 10 volumes contained over 26 hours of practical, non stop, no filler coin magic, with over 140 routines, new moves, techniques, presentations, lessons, and discussions! This year, though, the New York Coin Guys have set the bar EVEN HIGHER, with their latest set of DVD”s, on coin magic for WORKERS. These three volumes, WORKERS, BACK TO WORKERS, and WORKERS UNITED, are PACKED with practical, usable coin magic for all occasions, easy enough for the average magician, and also used by working pros! Let’s take a look at the contents of each:

Volume 11, WORKERS, contains two hours of over 13 incredible routines by todays top coin workers. Dr. Michael Rubinstein leads off with three workers from his vast repertoire. The Wishing Well is a wonderful, 4 coin production, with a story that reels in your audience. Tallahassee Jumping Coins is a three coin non gaffed coins across, with the last coin impossibly traveling to the spectator’s closed fist! Deja Vu Coin Vanish is a three coin vanish done twice, the second being instantaneous!

Mike Gallo is up next with two incredible routines. Okito Rocks will blow away your spectators as coins travel and change under impossible circumstances. The World Famous Two Coin Trick will prove that two coins are never enough!

All of these are good, but the biggest news is that on this DVD, David Roth gives up a Secret he has kept quiet for over 15 years! He explains this secret, a useful tool for all stand up coin workers, in three routines: Coins to Cup, Chop Stick Wild Coin, and the Three Coin Vanish. This technique fried the guys at the last Seminar, and all were sworn to secrecy until the release of these DVD’s!!

Rounding out the main section are contributions from our seminar guests. Deep Palms Coins Across is offered by Eric DeCamps. Doug Brewer fools the guys all the time with Two Coin Classic. Scotty York attaches a nickel to his head at his bar with Nickel Head, and now you can do it as well! Scott Robinson explains why all coin magic is Not the same with Differences.

Volume 12 (BACK TO WORKERS), contains two hours of even more incredible material for the hobbyist and pro alike!

David Roth continues with his amazing coin magic. He demonstrates and explains the McCarthy Hankerchief vanish. proving once again that there is gold hidden in the old books. Rip-O is also a forgotten trick for most magicians, but David’s brilliant presentation brings it up to speed, and will quickly find its way back into the Worker’s repertoire!

Dr. Michael Rubinstein starts off this volume with Copper Silver Brass, a five phase routine that uses no gaffs, and no extra coins!
