Jumbo Coin problem.

macflorendo · May 21, 2009

hello guys.
i just bought my first jumbo coin but i have a problem with it. after i bought it, i noticed a straight line crack on the face of the coin. can someone please help me get rid of this crack because i just hate looking at it.

and....are there any DVDs where i can learn jumbo coin routines?

I don't know what to do with your jumbocoin. I guess you'll just have to contact the magic supplier you bought it from, and maybe they'll send you a new one or something.

The french magician David Stone has a routine with a jumbo coin. It starts with a single half dollar, which the magician makes disappear and reappear several times before he at the end of the routine changes it to a jumbo coin. I like the routine a lot and it gets nice reactions as well from the audience. It can be found on either:

The Real Secrets of Magic vol.1 or vol.2
or
David Stone - Coin Magic vol.1 or vol. 2

If you don't have these dvd's in your collection, then I would highly recommend you getting them. There are many great tips, tricks, routines etc. on them.

I agree with jonkanon. David Stone's Real Secrets of Magic has an excellent routine (titled One Coin Routine) that can be found in Volume 1. I only use my Jumbo for this routine and it is still well used.

Cultural exchange vol. one has some great routines. It has a great jumbo coin routine, but you need four of them.

Wow, that was a sweet routine. Very fluid and visual, easy on the eyes which is good to see. Thanks for posting it.

Can anyone tell me where I can get information on the finger tip pass? I think that's what it is called.....I kinda have an idea on how to execute it but I just can't find the 'nack.'

Yea, the performer is called Ponta the Smith. Watch some of his other coin videos. They're all insanely smooth. I especially like his:

One Coin Routine
3 Fly
Coin Assembly
Coin Vanish
Winged Wilver
Spellbound

He has lots more but those are my favorites.

As for the fingerpass, i think it's a personal creation. He's very underground too, cuz he has not released any material. I heard from someone that he's gonna do some U.S. lectures soon by i dunno when or where. I have messaged the company he works for with the suggestion that they make a coin magic DVD with him and if they accept, he might teach the fingerpass there. But as of right now you can't learn it anywhere.

Yeah man I checked out his other videos and they are really impressive.
The finger tip pass I have seen before in the New York Coin Magic Seminar Vol. 1. There was this guy named Kainoa Harbottle and he one hell of a coin conjurer. He used it in one of his routines which are all beautiful, the finger tip pass he goes over it very briefly but not enough to get much of an idea on it. I can kinda do it but not nearly as well as some of the people I've seen doing it.

Anyways, if anybody here on these forums have any information on it, it would be great if you supplied it here. Thanks alot!
