Spare Change by Josh Janousky is a great coin magic tutorial that you'll want to add to your collection.  First off let me tell you these routines aren't for beginners but don't let that change your mind about adding these effects to your set.  This is a total compliment to Josh because I know this wasn't intended to be a beginners  series of effects. Spare Change will give you the ability to learn four very visual coin routines that are great for walk around street magic.  The DVD runs about 50 minutes long and you will see several  live and studio performances.   You'll get a great understanding of the teachings and performances and be able to perform and master these awesome effects pretty quickly.    You won't learn basic coin handlings here...but you will learn some mind blowing effects to add to your arsenal so you can slay your audiences minds.  If you have an intermediate understanding of coin magic then Spare Change no doubt is a great choice to add to your repertoire. If you only have a basic understanding of coin magic then now is the time to step up your game and  get Spare Change so you can take your coin magic to the next level .  The routines won't take too long to learn but an intermediate knowledge of coins is recommended,  don't worry all sleights needed are taught by the One & Only Josh Janousky.  Just a heads up, some  of these routines may require the use of an Expanded Shell, a Copper/Silver coin, or a Scotch and Soda gimmick.

My favorite effect is C.S.T.: A Copper Silver routine that takes place entirely in the spectators hands! Josh adds his own spin to the classic Copper Silver routine which is very creative and I've never seen it done this way before.  This routine was so good it was recently featured in Linking Ring Magazine (July 2012).   My second favorite routine is Coinception:  This is a multi phase three coin routine where the coins appear, vanish, and transpose. This one is perfect for walk around , and is a great choice to use as an opener.  Then there is Ninja Coins Across: A very visual, impromptu coins across. As seen in Linking Ring magazine, you'll probably find yourself reaching for this quite often because of the great reactions will get when blowing your spectators minds. 
TBD: A prediction effect when the spectators thought of coin not only matches a prediction that has been in their hand the whole time, but the coin also vanishes and reappears in the most startling place. 

In addition to the four routines above, you will also get four bonuses! You know in the past You've paid $30 to learn just one coin effect (I know I have) but for only $10 bucks you get a total of 8 effects,  that's only $1.25 per effect.  You can't beat that!

In this 50 minute download, Josh is sharing 4 real-world worked effects plus some bonus ideas. These do require gimmicks (c/s + expanded shell), but are nicely put together and will be some strong coin magic to add to your existing routines.

In most $10 downloads you'll buy a single move or idea, but to score 4 real routines that are coming from a pro's set is a steal. Buy it.

Initial Thoughts:

When Josh told me that he was considering releasing a download, I thought “Great, another coin download…” I didn’t expect much, especially since he was producing it independently (which, due to the Wire, has rendered most magicians unable to judge what is good and what’s not in the magic world).

Months later, Josh sends me the trailer. I was in Starbucks as I watched it. As the baristas stared as if I were possessed, my jaw dropped. I hadn’t seen a trailer that was that well filmed and edited in a very long time. No stop signs, no street lights… no metal music. Just a demo that showed the magic in an aesthetically pleasing manner.

The Download:

The download itself explains 4 effects and several sleights. The quality of the video ranges, but for the most part is incredibly well filmed.

Though I must say that Josh expects that you know a lot of moves before you buy the download… Classic Palm, Pointing Transfer… etc. He does explain everything, but for some of the moves, I felt like the explanation was very brief.

Overall:

Overall? I liked this download a lot. I found a few ideas that I’ll be putting into use in my own performances. It was fun to watch, and for $10? I think it’s definitely worth the money even if you only get one usable effect out of it.
