"Most magicians's don't perform a lot of coin magic. They may know a
few moves, but they don't take that next step and get to the point
where coin magic is 'go-to' material. That's a shame because there
are so many moments each day that a little coin magic could make into
memories. Coins are everywhere. To master coin magic is to have a passport to entertain at a moment's notice, anywhere in the world." -- Jay Noblezada
Many magicians go their whole lives without ever unlocking the raw power of coin magic.
Some are intimidated because it's pure sleight-of-hand. Some try to learn and get bogged down in complex illustrations. And some just don't know where to start.

If you're looking for every single variation and every move imaginable, you're in the wrong place. If you want to get the BIGGEST return on your investment of time and hard work, you've found the training DVD for you.

Next, you'll learn how coin pros put the essentials to work in hard-hitting tricks. You'll learn to build upon these tricks to create professional and memorable routines. And finally, you'll polish it off with pro tips that will leave you looking and feeling like a pro as you perform.

ANY magician, no matter what your main practice of magic, needs this. I have several other DVDs that have some of the same tricks, but NONE of them show the same handling, presentation and patter like Jay. This DVD really gets your mind working a certain way, and I can honestly say, after watching this DVD and with some practice you can do an entire coin show that will knock heads off. Also, after you learn some of these things, order "THE MUSCLE PASS" DVD. Between this DVD and the muscle pass dvd you will have trained your hand muscles and mind for most all coin tricks.

From cards to coins
[Verified buyer] by James D from Oshawa, Onatrio, Canada on 04/23/2010 05:03:36
I started off only doing card tricks, then I thought that I would expand so I got this and SPONGE. This was one of my best decisions. Jay is a great teacher and goes into each sleight and phase of the routine with detail, I have actually stopped a lot of the card tricks I had previously did and substituted them for this. This is one DVD that I doubt people will not enjoy, especially for the younger generation.

This dvd says it is from beginner to pro, and it's right. I suggest this to people who like to do on the spot magic. You learn a lot of great moves that you can add to your show. Jay Noblezada is a great teacher and really get close up to learn each trick.

The Building Blocks of Coin Magic
[Verified buyer] by Tim W from Cedar Rapids IA on 04/07/2010 01:15:58
The Marketing Fluff
"This course will take you from beginner to pro in coin magic."
"Take you from a beginner to pro" might be a little strong but it will give you a great foundation in coin magic. This is a high quality DVD is all ways. This is a building block DVD - you're given a bunch of basic magic "Legos" that you will use to build a lot of different tricks and routines. So let's take an in depth look at Jay Noblezada's treatise on introductory coin magic!
While you are waiting for your DVD to arrive, visit your bank and pick up a 6-8 50 cent coins (aka Kennedy Half Dollar). If your bank doesn't have them (they are probably too lazy to get a roll from the vault) then call around to other banks. These are easy to find with a few phone calls. Also stop by a coin shop and pick up a couple English Pennies. These are relatively easy to find and inexpensive. The English Penny is the same size as the Kennedy half dollar and it has a nice brown copper color that will work well when performing a color change effect or transposition.
Degree of Difficulty
Moderate. There are no self working tricks here. This is pure sleight of hand magic with the simplest of props. You'll need to spend weeks or months practicing this material.
Teaching
Jay Noblezada is one of the best young teachers on DVD on the planet. He is an accomplished sleight of hand magician who demos his routines for real people, on the street, for jaw dropping reactions.
Jay goes over each sleight in glorious detail. He shows you how not to do the move. You won't have to pause and rewind as much as some other instructors.
For the most part, Jay chooses outdoor settings to teach; a California beach, a city park and a boat on Lake Mead. I have seen some people disparage his choice of locations but I think it is refreshing. You feel like Jay is just a friend, sitting bare feet in the grass, in a city park, teaching you one-on-one.
Quantity of Effects
This is a packed DVD full of a lot of material. Of course, the gold standard in teaching coin magic is Modern Coin Magic by J. B. Bobo. It covers only a small portion of the material in the Bobo book. However, it covers the meat and potatos of coin magic including the basic palms, concealments, passes and vanishes.
The DVD is broken up into:
Essentials
Tricks
Routines
Pro Tips
Extras
The Pro Tips have some stuff from Bobo like what to do if you drop a coin. Jay teaches a lot of subtle tips for selling you sleights like "breaking the wrist." He also gives you the Slide Vanish which is a very convincing vanish.
Quality of Effects
Tricks are fast effects that can be incorporated into a multiple phase routine; Coin thru Pants, Coin Thru Pocket, Coin from Thin Air, Cranium Vanish, Tenkai Pennies, Coin from Pencap. The Tenkai Pennies and Coins thru Table are really mini routines and the best of the Trick section.
The Routines are a nice Coins Across using two spectators, a PK Coin Bend, a One Coin Routine and a Three Coin Routine. I really like the One Coin Routine and have developed my own version called the Stinky Coin (see my video below). Lastly, there is a routine called You and Me that is really powerful. These are all great close routines that you'll likely use if you are doing walk around or bar magic.
Production Quality
Top notch production. The menus are hip and fun. The variety of locations and sets alleviate any chance of boredom. The video and sound quality are superb. It is filmed with at least 2 cameras and Jay shows you the key angle shots. The on-the-street demos are a joy to watch.
This is just a fun DVD. It is a great selection for beginning coin magic. It is also a great supplement to Bobo's Modern Coin Magic (MCM) for beginning and intermediate coin magicians. Most of this material is covered in MCM but you'll get so much more out of Jay's solid instruction, expert demonstrations and his subtle maneuvers that really sell and polish the presentation. Everyone's learning style is different but I would personally recommend this as a first introduction to coin magic and follow up with MCM.
