Coin Magic Reference Guide

Updated: 10 Mar 2007

Trying to reference the category of "coin magic" is likely a bit too ambitious, as there are simply tons and tons of coin magic books, videos/DVDs, and effects out there and through history that making an exhaustive guide would be difficult to impossible. Rather, this guide is intended to point out some of the major coin works available today as well as some significant works that may be out of print. I tried to keep it to works that are dedicated to coin magic or that have significant chapters/sections devoted to the subject. There is also a bias toward those books in my own collection, simply because they are available for me to glance through and see how much coin magic is really present. This is more difficult to do, of course, from on-line descriptions of books!

Also, be sure to see:

This guide provides a listing of Books, Videos/DVDs, and Products covering Coin Magic. Please note that none of these items are for sale from this website, pricing is for reference only and is not current, and some items may no longer be available. This guide is for informational purposes only.

Mentzer, Jerry: One Cup and Coins. Direct from Jerry Mentzer's Lecture. Half dollars are magically produced one at a time beneath a small aluminum cup (which can be repeatedly shown empty) until three coins have been produced! Then the coins vanish one at a time from the performer¹s hand and appear back beneath the coin cup! (A simpler "low skill" method, requiring only a finger palm, is also included in which the coins apparently travel from the performer's pocket and appear back beneath the coin cup. The advantage of the "low skill" method is that it makes easy a climax for the routine in which a jumbo three inch half dollar is apparently knocked out of the cup!) $30 MagicMethodsOnline.com
