How to change a dollar coin into a giant coin in a spectacular and invisible way? Here I give you several jealously guarded secrets: my gimmick to invisibly load a Jumbo coin, my misdirection and body placement elements, all illustrated with references to many close up masters.  

Matrix: this coin effect is one of the most popular among magicians. It has inspired many great versions, because the effect itself is already great. Here, we offer you the whole thing, because you have THREE effects: 1- A coin appears under each of the four cards displayed in a row on the table. The new method proposed here is neat and easy. 2 - The coins are placed in the four corners of the mat, and each one is covered by one of the cards. Magic pass! The coins jump from card to card to gather under only one! 3- No, it's not over... You make one last magic pass, and almost instantly, the coins return under their original card. You have done a Reverse Matrix. In this new and very modern version, you have THREE effects in ONE. Connoisseurs will appreciate it!  

Coin techniques : First of all, Jean-Pierre Crispon explains his personal method for the beginner to learn the classic palm in less than 10 minutes ! Then he explains several effective methods for performing coin vanishes.  

3 Chinese coins in the left hand swap one by one with 3 copper coins in the right hand; the hands are shown empty each time. To conclude, the copper coins change into 3 Chinese coins; you end by showing 6 Chinese coins, no trace of the copper coins left! With this routine, you will discover new techniques, including the power of the "Palm to Palm Change" which allows you to exchange one coin for another with only one hand, or even a group of coins as in this routine. With this routine, you will take your first steps into the restricted world of the experts!  

Spellbound is one of the great classics in coin magic. A half dollar turns into a Chinese coin and vice versa; the effect is repeated several times. Both hands look completely empty throughout the routine. Only regular coins, no gimmick. Visual and clean!  

You are the magician of the evening, your spectators are sitting very tightly around the table and surround you... HARD FOR THE ANGLES OF VIEW! This coin routine is nice for this situation. You will produce several coins one at a time with a white, almost transparent silk. It's a great way to introduce yourself. As a bonus, Jean-Pierre explains how you can make the coins you have produced disappear with this same silk.  

A coin is borrowed and then enclosed in a square of paper. A magic pass and the magician folds the paper with the coin inside: the coin vanish! You are then free to make it reappear wherever you want!
