00:00Warmest wishes to who I consider the greatest coin manipulator in the entire world, sincerely,
00:08Di Vernon, Hollywood, California.
00:11Those words were written in 1974 about David Roth, considered to be the greatest coin manipulator
00:17of all time.
00:18Hello, I'm Mike Maxwell and welcome to the A1 Multimedia Magic Video Series.
00:24Today we start you off on a bold new journey into coin magic with David Roth's expert coin
00:29magic made easy, a series devoted to taking you from beginning to expert status with coin
00:36magic.
00:37Let me read a few words that Di Vernon wrote about David Roth.
00:41First, let me state that David Roth has an amazing ability when performing with coins.
00:46He is truly a genius.
00:48I have been fortunate to have enjoyed the confidence and friendship of the leading exponents
00:51of coin manipulation of the past.
00:54T. Nelson Downes, Alan Shaw, Manuel, and Welsh Miller all specialized in this branch
00:59of the magical arts.
01:01To the very best of my judgment, David's ideas and execution far surpass any one of them.
01:08I feel quite certain that if they could witness his performance, they would not only be astounded,
01:13but realized they had seen the master.
01:18And now the master is going to teach you.
01:21I give you David Roth.
01:31Hello, I'm David Roth, and this is volume one of expert coin magic made easy.
01:37And because it is volume one, I'm going to assume that you are a beginner.
01:40And that's why I'm going to teach the basics, the fundamentals of coin magic, the basic
01:45palms, switches, productions, as well as some classics of coin magic.
01:50If you study this tape, I guarantee within a very short time, you will be doing expert
01:55coin magic.
02:02All right, get yourself a coin.
02:04I'm going to teach you the classic palm.
02:07Now the classic palm is the most important concealment in all of coin magic.
02:12There are other places to hide coins, but the classic palm is certainly the most versatile,
02:16the most flexible, and the most natural way to conceal a coin.
02:20The coin is held
02:22in the palm, in actually the palm of the hand,
02:25but it is held by a contraction
02:27at the base of the thumb
02:29and the muscle at the base of the little finger.
02:31The coin is held
02:32from the sides, gripped by slightly moving the base of the thumb.
02:36It is not gripped
02:37from above and below. If you grip the coin that way, you'll put a bend in your hand
02:42that can be seen very obviously, and you don't want that to be there, because it doesn't
02:46look natural.
02:47The coin is gripped
02:48from the sides.
02:50Another important point
02:52that many people learning the classic palm run into
02:55is that they find that they have stiff fingers when the coin is palmed.
02:59This can be avoided by simply remembering
03:01that the muscles that hold the coin in the palm
03:04and the muscles that move the fingers are completely independent of each other.
03:07So there is really no reason why you shouldn't be able to move the fingers
03:11as easily as if there was no coin in the palm.
03:14Now to place the coin into the classic palm, there are basically two ways to do this.
03:19The first way
03:20is to hold the coin
03:22on the second and third fingertips with the thumb on top,
03:26release the thumb and press the coin into the classic palm with these fingers.
03:30Now notice how I'm holding my thumb and index finger together when I do that.
03:35That is to prevent the thumb from shooting out like that, a very, very common mistake
03:40which I see many magicians do
03:42when they classic palm a coin.
03:43They palm the coin
03:44and the thumb shoots out like that.
03:46It's a real telegraph. That's something that can be fingers are up like that
03:50and they can see underneath and through your fingers that way.
03:53So you want to drop those knuckles.
03:55You want to keep the fingers loose.
03:57You want to keep the thumb and index finger together as you press the coin into your palm.
04:02And a very good way to acquire a good classic palm is simply to keep the coin in your palm
04:08all day long.
04:09If you work a computer, typing is an excellent exercise with a coin palm.
04:14Playing a musical instrument, playing the piano,
04:17playing any musical instrument, typing, eating,
04:20any kind of activity where you use your hand, writing with a pen or pencil,
04:24all very, very good to acquire
04:26your hand being comfortable with the coin in the classic palm position.
04:30Another way to get the coin into the palm position
04:33is to simply display it on the open palm
04:36and as the hand turns palm down,
04:38a slight movement at the base of the thumb this way,
04:41slight contraction,
04:42will palm the coin.
04:43Turn your hand over, the coin is palmed.
04:47With practice,
04:48it is possible to palm a coin so securely that you can actually place your hand flat
04:52on a table.
04:54Thumb out, wiggle the fingers, wiggle the thumb and keep the coin in the palm.
04:58This is not the most natural position. I'm just pointing out what can be done with practice.
05:03An important point to remember when you practice the classic palm is don't push it
05:07into the palm with the other hand.
05:09There are very, very few coin vanishes that require the palm be done that way.
05:14It's very important that you learn to palm the coin
05:16with the same hand that holds the coin.
05:24The coin is picked up by the second and third fingers.
05:28It is pressed into the palm.
05:30The thumb and index finger stay together to keep the thumb from moving out
05:35and then by a slight contraction of the thumb,
05:38the coin stays palmed.
05:41And that is an in-depth look at the mechanics of the classic palm.
05:52When working on the classic palm, to achieve a more natural look to your hand,
05:56when the coin is palmed,
05:58lift up the little finger. The little finger of your right hand or the hand that's holding
06:01the coin, it helps give a better look to the hand, makes it look a little bit more natural,
06:06more deceptive.
06:13The next slide I'd like to teach you is called a finger palm.
06:17And it is not quite as flexible or versatile as the classic palm. It is considerably easier
06:22and you will certainly acquire the finger palm before you learn how to classic palm a coin.
06:27The coin is simply displayed at the base of the second and third fingers of the right hand
06:31or the left hand.
06:33And the palm is made by slightly contracting the second and third fingers.
06:38Actually, the third finger does most of the holding.
06:40This allows you to turn your hand over, keep the coin finger palmed,
06:44and still
06:46retain the use of the index finger, second finger, and thumb to pick objects up or display them.
06:52Some people have what we call windows, which means when they turn their hand over,
06:56there might be a gap in between these fingers or in between these fingers and the coin can be seen.
07:02And remember, a coin being made of silver
07:05can flash across a room very, very easily. A copper coin would not flash as badly, but
07:10a silver coin you can spot thirty feet away.
07:13So it's very important if you do have windows to close them up by pressing the fingers together.
07:19Of course,
07:19if you contract the hand too stiffly, it will look stiff and that isn't good either.
07:24So you want to reach a happy medium where the windows are closed, the coin is finger palmed,
07:29and now you can have your hand
07:31on the table in what we call a Slidini rest position,
07:34with both hands and half-closed fists, and the coin is retained
07:38in the finger palm.
07:45The coin is displayed at the base of the second and third fingers.
07:49The finger palm is made by slightly contracting the second and third fingers,
07:55even though the third finger does most of the holding.
08:00This leaves the second finger, first finger, and thumb free to pick up and display objects.
08:15When working on the classic palm,
08:17some people may find a quarter easier to conceal in their hand than a half a dollar.
08:21A half a dollar is good for me, but a quarter might be better for you. So try it with both
08:25coins and see which feels the most comfortable when it's in your palm.
08:35The next slide
08:37is called the thumb palm,
08:40and once you acquire the classic palm, the finger palm, and the thumb palm, you'll find that those
08:44are the three main slides of coin manipulation.
08:47Now the thumb palm, as the title implies, is a concealment where the coin is held,
08:52clipped
08:53by the thumb
08:54against the palm of the hand
08:57in this manner.
08:58Now the hand looks very, very natural from the back,
09:01but, as you might imagine,
09:03because the thumb can't move, because it's stuck to the side of the hand gripping the coin,
09:07it's rather difficult to pick up objects and display them.
09:11Well, there is a use for everything,
09:13and there are many uses for the thumb palm in coin magic.
09:16The coin is placed in this position
09:18by displaying it on the tips of the second finger
09:21and index finger.
09:23Place the thumb on top,
09:25turn the hand palm down,
09:27and using the first and second fingers, you can slide the coin along the thumb
09:32until it reaches
09:33the base of the thumb,
09:34where the thumb moves against it, clipping it against the side of the hand
09:39and then,
09:40by the thumb,
09:41the thumb palm.
09:48Now that I've shown you the three basic concealments in coin magic, the classic palm, the finger palm,
09:54and the thumb palm,
09:55I'd like to show you some vanishes.
09:57In other words,
09:58these are actions where you pretend to place the coin into one hand,
10:02but you really retain it, either in the classic palm,
10:05the finger palm, or the thumb palm.
10:07I'll start with the classic palm.
10:10Hold the coin at the tips of the second finger and thumb,
10:13displayed in the right hand.
10:16As you show your left hand empty,
10:18using that as misdirection, because everyone will look at this hand when you show it empty,
10:23place your third finger on the coin
10:25and press it into the right palm
10:27as I've already taught you. Don't forget to keep the thumb and second finger together
10:31as you do this.
10:33Now extend those fingers,
10:35as if you're still holding the coin behind them,
10:37but of course the coin is actually
10:40classic palmed.
10:41Now you must pretend to place the coin into your left hand.
10:45The most natural way to do this is to simply
10:49simulate or mime the actions of actually placing a coin into your hand.
10:53It would look like that.
10:55The right hand comes away with the fingers spread,
10:57the hand looking relaxed.
10:59Close the left hand as if it contained a coin.
11:02Look at the left hand,
11:04as you show your left hand empty,
11:06and then you pretend to place the coin into the left hand.
11:09All these things reinforce the idea that you have placed the coin into your left hand.
11:14Once again,
11:16the coin is shown at the tips of the fingers.
11:19The hand turns inward as you show your left hand empty,
11:22and using that as misdirection,
11:24the right hand palms the coin.
11:26You now pretend to place the coin into the left hand
11:29by simulating the action you would actually do
11:32The coin comes away,
11:33fingers spread,
11:34thumb showing,
11:35left hand closes.
11:37At this point,
11:39you want to use the palm, you want to use your right hand naturally.
11:43You can do this by rubbing the back of your hand in a gesture.
11:47Again, it gives the right hand something to do, it makes it look natural.
11:50You can make a gesture over your hand. Again,
11:52keep the fingers moving, use the right hand,
11:55give it something to do, it looks natural.
11:57Open your hand and show it empty.
11:59The coin stays in classic palm.
12:02Another way of doing a classic palm vanish is to simply display the coin in
12:07the classic palm position.
12:09Instead of pretending to place the coin into the left hand,
12:13you simply turn your right hand over and you pretend to
12:16dump the coin into the left hand.
12:19This can be very, very deceptive because if you've acquired a deceptive classic
12:22palm,
12:23the right hand contracts
12:25very little as it turns over and it truly looks as if the coin
12:28must have fallen into the left hand.
12:31Once again, the right hand drops the table,
12:33looking relaxed. If you want to rub the back of your hand or use the hand
12:37for a gesture, that's fine.
12:39Finally, open your left hand,
12:40showing the coin has vanished.
12:43And those are the basic mechanics of a classic palm vanish.
12:50The coin is held at the tips of the fingers and displayed.
12:59The right hand turns palm down in preparation for pushing the coin into
13:03the palm,
13:05which is not done until the left hand is shown empty.
13:09Using that as misdirection, the right fingers press the coin into the classic
13:13palm. Again,
13:15keep the index finger and thumb together.
13:18And then the right hand extends its fingers as if it still held the coin
13:23behind their tips
13:24and pretends to place the coin into the left hand,
13:28which closes around the fingers as the right hand moves away.
13:41When working on the classic palm,
13:43a good idea is to make the hand that is
13:45concealing the coin
13:47look the same as the hand that is not concealing the coin.
13:50Hold your hands out in front of you and attempt to make both hands look the same
13:53in terms of the flatness of the hand
13:55and the flex of the fingers.
14:03To use the finger palm as a vanish for a coin, it's actually very, very easy.
14:07Much easier than the classic palm.
14:09Simply display the coin at the base
14:11of the second and third fingers. This is called an open finger palm position
14:16and it is displayed this way in preparation for finger palming the coin
14:20a few seconds later
14:21as you pretend to dump the coin into your palm-up left hand.
14:25So the hands come together, the right hand turns palm down, apparently dumping
14:30the coin into the left hand, but again
14:32the second and third fingers contract,
14:35mostly the third finger,
14:37so the coin is retained in the right hand finger palm.
14:40Important to close the left hand at the proper time so that the illusion of the coin
14:45coming into the hand is complete.
14:47Once again, pause,
14:49then open the hand to show the coin
14:51has vanished,
14:52retained in the finger palm.
14:55Another way to make the coin disappear and to get it into the finger palm position
14:59is a very old move in magic called le tourniquet,
15:02sometimes called the French drop.
15:04You've probably seen this move, maybe your uncle did it for you when you were a child.
15:09In this vanish, the coin is held at the fingertips in French drop position, just
15:13like this.
15:15The left hand comes in to take the coin with the thumb going underneath,
15:18the fingers on top,
15:20and by slightly relaxing the right thumb,
15:23the coin will fall straight down directly into the finger palm position.
15:27The left hand closes around the imaginary coin that the spectators think
15:32was still there,
15:33left hand moves away,
15:35the coin is retained in the right hand finger palm.
15:38Once again,
15:39open the left hand,
15:40showing the coin
15:41has disappeared.
15:43A more refined version of this move,
15:46this is by Derek Dingle,
15:48is to show the coin in the same French drop position, but instead of taking the
15:52coin into a fist,
15:54you simply apparently take the coin
15:56at the fingertips.
15:58Once again, the coin starts off in French drop position,
16:02the hand comes in,
16:03but not as far,
16:04only until the coin is obscured by the tips of the fingers of the left hand.
16:09Once again,
16:10the right thumb relaxes, allowing the coin to drop into the finger palm
16:14position
16:15as the left hand moves away, supposedly holding the coin at the fingertips.
16:20Then close the hand into a fist,
16:22then make the coin vanish,
16:24the finger palm vanish.
16:32The coin is displayed at the base of the second and third fingers,
16:39the left hand opens palm up next to the right hand,
16:43the right hand apparently dumps the coin into the left hand,
16:48but as the right hand turns over,
16:50a slight contraction of the second and third fingers,
16:54mainly the third finger,
16:55retains the coin in finger palm position.
17:00The left hand closes as if it caught the coin,
17:03and the right hand drops to the table
17:06in a relaxed Slidini rest position.
17:10The left hand opens to reveal
17:12the vanish.
17:16For the French drop,
17:18the coin is held at the tips of the fingers.
17:22The left hand comes in as if to take the coin, with the thumb going under the coin
17:26and the fingers going above the coin,
17:28and when the coin is obscured from the spectator's sight,
17:31the right thumb relaxes,
17:33allowing the coin to drop straight down into the finger palm position
17:37as the left hand pretends to take the coin
17:40and moves away,
17:42and then opens, revealing the vanish.
17:44The coin stays finger palmed in the right hand.
17:49A more modern way of doing the French drop
17:52is to hold the coin at the fingertips in the same opening position,
17:56but the left hand, instead of taking the coin into a fist,
17:59apparently takes the coin at the fingertips,
18:02but the mechanics of the move are the same.
18:04The fingertips obscure the coin,
18:06the right thumb relaxes,
18:08allowing the coin to drop into an open finger palm
18:11or into a finger palm position,
18:13and the left hand moves away,
18:14apparently holding the coin behind the fingers,
18:17and then pulls it into a fist.
18:20Pause, then open the left hand,
18:22showing the coin has vanished.
18:24Both hands relax to the table in rest position.
18:33When you want to use the thumb palm as a vanish,
18:36it's actually very simple and it's very, very deceptive,
18:39because remember, a thumb palm does give the hand
18:42a very flat look with the fingers extended,
18:45even though the thumb can't be used to pick things up.
18:48But for a vanish, it's very effective.
18:51Show the coin on the tips of the second and first finger.
18:54You're going to turn the hand over
18:56as the left hand turns palm up.
18:58You're going to pretend to place the coin into the left hand,
19:02but as the right hand is moving toward the left hand,
19:06the first two fingers slide that coin along the thumb
19:09until they hit the base of the thumb
19:11where it is clipped by the thumb against the side of the hand.
19:14This is done as the hand moves toward the left hand,
19:17and the overall illusion is that the coin is placed
19:20into the left hand.
19:22Once again, the right hand comes away with the fingers open,
19:25slightly spread.
19:27The thumb holds the coin as loosely as possible
19:30so that the thumb, which is rigid, looks less rigid.
19:34Once again, look at the left hand, point to the left hand,
19:37perhaps rub the back of the left hand with the right hand,
19:40then finally open it, revealing the coin has vanished.
19:43And that is the basic mechanics of the thumb palm vanish.
19:51The coin is displayed at the tips
19:53of the first and second fingers of the right hand.
19:58The left hand turns palm up next to it
20:01to apparently receive the coin.
20:06The right hand turns palm down,
20:08and the first and second fingers slide the coin along the thumb
20:12until they reach the base of the thumb
20:14where the thumb can clip the coin against the side of the hand.
20:18This is done as the right hand apparently places the coin
20:22into the left hand,
20:24which closes apparently around the coin.
20:27Pause, open the hand, revealing the coin has vanished.
20:32It's really retained in the thumb palm.
20:48Pause, open the hand, revealing the coin has vanished.
20:51It's really retained in the thumb palm.
20:53Pause, open the hand, revealing the coin has vanished.
20:56It's really retained in the thumb palm.
20:58Pause, open the hand, revealing the coin has vanished.
21:01It's really retained in the thumb palm.
21:03Pause, open the hand, revealing the coin has vanished.
21:06It's really retained in the thumb palm.
21:08Pause, open the hand, revealing the coin has vanished.
21:11It's really retained in the thumb palm.
21:13Pause, open the hand, revealing the coin has vanished.
21:16It's really retained in the thumb palm.
22:16Pause, open the hand, revealing the coin has vanished.
22:19It's really retained in the thumb palm.
22:22Pause, open the hand, revealing the coin has vanished.
22:25It's really retained in the thumb palm.
22:28Pause, open the hand, revealing the coin has vanished.
22:31It's really retained in the thumb palm.
22:34Pause, open the hand, revealing the coin has vanished.
22:37It's really retained in the thumb palm.
22:40Pause, open the hand, revealing the coin has vanished.
22:43It's really retained in the thumb palm.
22:45Pause, open the hand, revealing the coin has vanished.
22:48It's really retained in the thumb palm.
22:51Pause, open the hand, revealing the coin has vanished.
22:54It's really retained in the thumb palm.
22:57Pause, open the hand, revealing the coin has vanished.
23:00It's really retained in the thumb palm.
23:03Pause, open the hand, revealing the coin has vanished.
23:06It's really retained in the thumb palm.
23:09Pause, open the hand, revealing the coin has vanished.
23:12Music

23:22Music
23:25Music
23:30Anytime you have a coin concealed in your hand,
23:33whether it's in the classic palm or the finger palm,
23:36and if you want to make your hand look a little bit more natural,
23:39don't forget, pick up a wand.
23:41It doesn't have to be an actual magic wand.
23:43It can be a pen, a pencil, a chopstick, a straw, anything.
23:47But remember, once you have a coin concealed
23:49and you pick up a wand or a wand substitute,
23:52it instantly makes your hand look much more natural.
23:56Music
24:01Now that you've learned the big three concealments,
24:04the classic palm, the finger palm, and the thumb palm,
24:06and you've learned how to get coins into those positions secretly
24:09as you apparently place them into the other hand,
24:12I'd like to talk a little bit about finesses, touches,
24:15little actions that make these moves more deceptive.
24:18Now, when you have a coin classic palmed,
24:21whether you're getting it here because you've done a dump vanish
24:24or whether it's in that position because you've done a put vanish,
24:27the point is you want to use this hand naturally.
24:30I've already talked about rubbing the back of the hand,
24:32snapping the fingers, using the hand.
24:34Something else you can do is to take another coin
24:38while you keep one palmed in the right hand
24:40and flip this coin into the air.
24:42Very, very deceptive.
24:43It seems like an impossible thing to do with the coin palmed.
24:46Flip it in the air, catch it, place the coin down again.
24:49A very good touch for the classic palm.
24:51For the finger palm, there's a wonderful subtlety
24:54known as the Ramsey subtlety.
24:56John Ramsey was a wonderful magician
24:58doing magic during the 30s and 40s,
25:00and he made extensive use of the finger palm,
25:03except when he did a finger palm,
25:05he kept the coin in exactly the same position,
25:07but he made use of the fact that
25:09if you tilt your hands back slightly,
25:11people can see the palm of your hand,
25:13but they cannot see the coin.
25:15Or if you hold your hand in this position,
25:17they can see the palm of your hand,
25:19but they cannot see the coin.
25:21This is called the Ramsey subtlety,
25:23and it's very, very disarming
25:25because many people do know that magicians can palm a coin,
25:28but when they see the palm empty,
25:30they will think that the rest of the hand is empty as well.
25:33Now, the important thing in all of these vanishes,
25:35the classic palm and the finger palm,
25:37is to make the hand look natural,
25:39and while you're learning to acquire these moves,
25:41there is one more subtlety
25:43that can make all these moves very, very deceptive,
25:46and that subtlety is the use of a magic wand.
25:51In a sense, this is the best-kept secret in magic
25:54because everyone on the street
25:56knows what a magic wand supposedly is.
25:58It's supposedly the source of the magician's power,
26:01but most people don't realize
26:03that the real use of the wand
26:05is to make a magician's hand look natural
26:07when he's concealing an object.
26:09You know, during the Middle Ages,
26:11the magicians didn't have time to practice,
26:13and their technique was not as refined as the technique today,
26:16so they would always pick up a wand
26:18when they had a coin or an object concealed in their hand,
26:21and you can see that if I show a coin finger-palmed
26:24and immediately pick up the wand,
26:26instantly my hand looks complete.
26:28Instantly, my hand looks completely natural.
26:30It is impossible to tell whether there is a coin there or not
26:33because it's holding something, and that is the point.
26:36Use the wand as the magical catalyst
26:39to make the coin disappear,
26:41but remember it's really there
26:43to make the right hand look natural.
26:45Same applies if you have a coin in the classic palm position.
26:48Pick up the wand, make a gesture with it.
26:50You can hold the wand like this,
26:52or you can hold the wand like this, like a pencil.
26:55This is a very, very disarming position,
26:57makes the hand look very open and extended,
26:59and yet totally natural because it's holding an object.
27:02That position also applies when the coin is finger-palmed.
27:06You can hold the wand like this,
27:08or you can hold the wand like a pencil.
27:10Both moves give the hand something to do,
27:12making it more natural.
27:14If you don't have a wand, the principle is the same.
27:17Don't use a wand.
27:20Use a pen. Use a pencil.
27:22Use a chopstick. Use a straw.
27:25Anything that you pick up instantly makes the right hand,
27:29the hand concealing the object, look more natural.
27:32That is the wand subtlety,
27:34and this is a very good example of using a pen as a wand substitute.
27:39You can even use another coin as a wand substitute.
27:44If you show a coin and pretend to put it in your hand,
27:47pick up a second coin, instantly my right hand looks natural
27:51because it's holding something openly at the fingertips.
27:54This is something you should keep in mind as you're learning these moves
27:57until you get comfortable with the idea
27:59that even though you have an object concealed in your hand,
28:02people really don't know it's there.
28:04Many magicians feel very guilty when they're palming an object.
28:07It's a perfect opportunity for them to use the wand.
28:10It'll improve the look of your magic
28:12and make you feel more confident about it.
28:15And those are some subtleties for the classic palm and the finger palm.
28:25Now that you've learned the basic concealments in coin magic,
28:28the classic palm, finger palm, thumb palm,
28:31and I've also taught you how to secretly get coins into those positions
28:35as you apparently place them into your other hand,
28:38I'd like to talk a little bit about transferring the coins
28:41from one palm position to another.
28:43Very often in magic effects,
28:45you have to start with a coin in the classic palm,
28:47move it to the finger palm,
28:49possibly start with a coin in the thumb palm,
28:51move it to the classic palm.
28:53These things can either be done very expediently
28:55or they can be done with much too much finger motion.
28:58I'd like to show you some very practical ways
29:00of transferring coins from one palm position to another.
29:04Now if you have a coin, classic palm,
29:06and you want to transfer it to the finger palm position,
29:09turn the hand over and let the coin fall from the classic
29:12right down into the finger palm position.
29:15If you have a coin, finger palm,
29:17and you want to classic palm it,
29:19then bend the fingers inward,
29:21causing the coin to flatten out on the tips of the fingers
29:24and then push the coin into the classic palm.
29:27If you have a coin, thumb palm,
29:30and you want to transfer it to the finger palm,
29:32again, thumb palm coin,
29:35if you hold with the fingers pointing downwards,
29:37the coin can be released and fall
29:39directly into a finger palm position.
29:41If you want to transfer the coin
29:43from a thumb palm to a classic palm position,
29:46start with the coin thumb palmed,
29:48bend the right fingers inward
29:50so the second and third fingers come under the coin,
29:53release the coin so it drops onto their tips,
29:56and from this position you can easily
29:58push the coin up into a classic palm.
30:00If you want to transfer a coin
30:02from the finger palm to a thumb palm position,
30:05show the coin in the base of the fingers,
30:07an open finger palm display,
30:09bend these fingers inward,
30:11allowing you to clip the coin
30:13into a thumb palm position with your right thumb.
30:15So now you know how to transfer coins
30:17from the classic palm to the finger palm,
30:19finger palm to classic palm,
30:21thumb palm to finger palm,
30:23finger palm to thumb palm.
30:25Practice these moves because they come in
30:27very, very handy in more advanced routines.

33:47Now in the utility switch,
33:49it looks as if you toss both coins
33:51from the left hand to the right hand
33:53which turns palm up to catch them.
33:55In reality, I'm going to retain
33:57this coin finger palmed
33:59and only toss this coin into the right hand
34:02where it lands on top of the coin
34:04that's finger palmed in the right hand.
34:06The illusion being,
34:07two coins are shown in the left hand
34:09and apparently the same two coins
34:11are shown in the right hand.
34:13But let's look at what happens
34:14in the minds of the spectators.
34:16If you have two coins in open display
34:18on your left hand
34:19and they do believe your right hand is empty
34:21because you've been practicing these moves,
34:24then when you turn your left hand over
34:26and apparently dump both coins
34:28into the right hand
34:29but really retain one
34:30and only toss this coin into the right hand,
34:33well now apparently those coins
34:35are in view in the right hand.
34:36So by conjurer's logic,
34:38this hand must be empty.
34:40You have now shown both hands empty
34:42while concealing a coin in your hands.
34:44Not only that,
34:45but you've switched one of the two coins
34:47that you started with.
34:48Remember,
34:49this coin ends up in a finger palm,
34:51this coin ends up in view.
34:53So this coin gets switched out,
34:55this coin gets switched in,
34:57and the illusion is
34:58you're simply showing two coins in each hand
35:01and that's the utility switch.
35:09One coin finger palmed in the right hand
35:11in a rest position on the table.
35:15Two coins displayed on the left hand,
35:17one ready to be finger palmed,
35:19one ready to fall.
35:21Left hand turns palm down,
35:23right hand turns palm up.
35:27The utility switch.
35:34The utility switch is a wonderful utility move,
35:37but it does have limitations
35:39and those are that it must be done
35:41with at least two coins being tossed
35:43from one hand to the other.
35:44Sometimes three, sometimes four,
35:46but always at least two.
35:48So magicians have come up with a more refined version
35:51of the utility switch
35:52and they call it a shuttle pass.
35:54And it is, in effect,
35:55a utility switch done with apparently
35:57only one coin being tossed
35:59from one hand to the other.
36:01There are many variations on the shuttle pass.
36:03I'll show you the one that I've developed.
36:05I've taught this to many magicians
36:07and it's an easy version,
36:09easier than some,
36:10harder than others,
36:11but as in all shuttle passes,
36:13timing is most important.
36:16Now you can start the shuttle pass
36:18with a coin classic palmed
36:19or you can start the shuttle pass
36:21with a coin finger palmed.
36:22The choice is yours.
36:23I'll be starting with the coin in the classic palm.
36:26On the table is a visible coin.
36:28The illusion is that you're going to show
36:30the coin in the left hand
36:32and toss it into the right hand.
36:34That's all it looks like.
36:35What really happens is
36:36the coin is retained in an open finger palm
36:39as the coin in the right hand
36:41is allowed to drop
36:42to a fingertip rest position on the table.
36:45The hands move toward each other
36:48and when they get to within about half an inch,
36:51two things happen at the same time.
36:54The left hand turns palm down,
36:56retaining the coin in a finger palm position.
36:59The right hand turns partially palm up,
37:02which brings the coin
37:04from the fingertip rest position
37:06to this position,
37:07but it is underneath the left hand,
37:10which is turned palm down.
37:12When you combine these moves,
37:13there is a wonderful illusion
37:15of the coin in the left hand
37:16being tossed to the right hand,
37:19which of course,
37:20it's a rocking motion.
37:23One hand turns palm down
37:24as the other hand turns palm up.
37:27It's important that the right fingertips
37:29with the coin on their tips
37:31end up underneath the left hand coin
37:34in the finger palm position.
37:36That way you know
37:37that the coin on the right fingertips
37:39is in the right place.
37:40It's in the place where it would be
37:42if it wasn't there
37:43and the coin was actually falling
37:45from the left hand.
37:46Now notice the hands move toward each other.
37:48The right hand ends up
37:49with the fingers underneath
37:51the coin in the left hand.
37:52It's important that you bring
37:54the right hand out into view
37:56so the spectators can see that coin
37:59on the fingertips
38:00coming from underneath the left hand.
38:02Also, I move the coin slightly
38:05after I bring it into view.
38:07This gives the coin a little action.
38:09It picks up the light.
38:10It gives the impression
38:11that the coin was actually
38:12caught in mid-air.
38:14The coin is on the fingertips.
38:16The left hand is palm up
38:17with the coin in open display.
38:19When you do the move up to speed,
38:21it's very, very deceptive.
38:23It absolutely looks like
38:24the coin is tossed
38:25from one hand to the other.
38:27And that is my handling
38:29of the shuttle pass.
38:36Shuttle pass.
38:37One coin starts out
38:38in the classic palm
38:40and is transferred
38:41to the fingertip rest position
38:43as the hand drops to the table.
38:46One coin shown
38:47in open finger palm display.
38:50Left hand turns palm down.
38:52Right hand turns palm up.
38:56Right hand brings the coin
38:57into view on the fingertips,
38:59moves it,
39:01and places it on the table.
39:06I'd like to show you
39:09a few ways of secretly
39:10loading a coin into the hand
39:12instead of making a coin
39:13disappear from that hand
39:15because loading
39:16or producing a coin
39:17is as valid an effect
39:18as vanishing a coin.
39:20Basically,
39:21there are two ways
39:22to load coins
39:23into the closed left hand.
39:24One is from
39:25the classic palm position.
39:26The other is
39:27from the thumb palm position.
39:28When a coin is held
39:29in the classic palm,
39:30a wonderful load
39:31is a move by Lemmasque,
39:32who was a magician
39:33of the last century.
39:34He would keep a coin
39:35in the classic palm position,
39:37show his left hand empty,
39:38close it into a fist,
39:40and then rub the back
39:41of the hand,
39:42make a magical pass,
39:43and load the coin
39:44into his closed left hand.
39:46The move is done
39:47by classic palming the coin,
39:49showing the left hand empty,
39:51closing it into a fist,
39:53but it's a loose fist.
39:54It's not a tight fist
39:55because in a moment
39:56you'll be dropping the coin
39:57through the top
39:58of the fist secretly,
39:59so you want to make sure
40:00that there's a bit
40:01of an opening there.
40:02Close the hand
40:03into a loose fist.
40:04The right hand,
40:05with the coin palmed,
40:06rubs the back
40:07of the left hand.
40:08This not only gives
40:09the right hand
40:10something to do,
40:11but it looks like
40:12a magical gesture.
40:13Something magical
40:14should always happen
40:15to account for the magic
40:16that you're about to reveal.
40:18So you rub the back
40:19of the hand.
40:20Now, several things
40:21happen at the same time.
40:22The left hand turns
40:23with the thumb
40:24pointing toward the ceiling.
40:25The right hand
40:26moves with it.
40:27At this point,
40:28the right hand
40:29releases its coin,
40:30which drops from
40:31the right palm
40:32into the left fist.
40:33As the hands
40:34come around
40:35to this position,
40:36and you separate them
40:37and continue to make
40:38a magical gesture,
40:39then pause
40:41and reveal the coin
40:42as appeared in the video.
