I'm surprised almost no one has mentioned coin magic! By that I mean with real coins, borrowed coins, your cheating your spectaators with scotch and soda. There are alot of great coin routines that with a little practice amaze people.

With 1 half dollar you can do:

Messiah routine

Coin vanishes, including stricking vanish.


With 2 you can do:

Messiah routine

Coin vanishes, including stricking vanish.

Mexican jumping coins

Up's and downs

Coin through pocket/leg

Plastic surgery

television bend

With 3 you can do:

Messiah routine

Coin vanishes, including stricking vanish.

Messiah routine

Coin vanishes, including stricking vanish.

Mexican jumping coins

Up's and downs

Coin through pocket/leg

Plastic surgery

television bend

Mr. clean Coins across

Bullet proof

With four you can do:

Messiah routine

Coin vanishes, including stricking vanish.

With two you can do:

Messiah routine

Coin vanishes, including stricking vanish.

Mexican jumping coins

Up's and downs

Coin through pocket/leg

Plastic surgery

television bend

Mr. clean Coins across

Bullet proof

Rollover

Hot cross

Mr. Universe coins across

Mass consumption

No jacket required

Invisible coins

Thin air production

And so many more!

My favorite is mr. clean coins across, I'll admit coins can be a little scary, but your not a real magician if you don't practice and all you use are those pathetic little gimicks! Plus, if you have forigen coins there are changes and awesome routines you can do. And if you are creative, coins, are highly versitile. And since audiences are familiar with coins, they won't suspect a thing. I'll admit card tricks are big, and thumb tips are effective, but at the end of the day if you want to be completely imprompu and still dazzel audiences, coins are the way to go.

I loath ACR, just tired of it after all these years. But it does get a good reaction. I've turned evil with it, banging the deck against a table, etc.

I must say that Time and Space is my current favorite close-up, relaxed, "I have a table nearby, so let's sit down and show you something" kinda trick.

For standing, Liquid Metal all the way.

Just got Come Fly With Me, and hopefully will take a Top 10 spot soon.
