The New York Coin Guys, David ROTH, Dr. Michael
RUBINSTEIN, and Mike GALLO, have set the bar pretty high with their New York
Coin Magic Seminar DVD series. The first 10 volumes contained over 26 hours of
practical, non stop, no filler coin magic, with over 140 routines, new moves,
techniques, presentations, lessons, and discussions! This year, though, the New
York Coin Guys have set the bar EVEN HIGHER, with their latest set of DVD''s, on
coin magic for WORKERS. These three volumes, WORKERS, BACK TO WORKERS, and
WORKERS UNITED, are PACKED with practical, usable coin magic for all occasions,
easy enough for the average magician, and also used by working pros! Let's take
a look at the contents of each:
Volume 11, WORKERS, contains two hours of over 13 incredible routines by todays
top coin workers. Dr. Michael Rubinstein leads off with three workers from his
vast repertoire. The Wishing Well is a wonderful, 4 coin production, with a
story that reels in your audience. Tallahassee Jumping Coins is a three coin non
gaffed coins across, with the last coin impossibly traveling to the spectator's
closed fist! Deja Vu Coin Vanish is a three coin vanish done twice, the second
being instantaneous!
Mike Gallo is up next with two incredible routines. Okito Rocks will blow away
your spectators as coins travel and change under impossible circumstances. The
World Famous Two Coin Trick will prove that two coins are never enough!
All of these are good, but the biggest news is that on this DVD, David Roth
gives up a Secret he has kept quiet for over 15 years! He explains this secret,
a useful tool for all stand up coin workers, in three routines: Coins to Cup,
Chop Stick Wild Coin, and the Three Coin Vanish. This technique fried the guys
at the last Seminar, and all were sworn to secrecy until the release of these
DVD's!!
Rounding out the main section are contributions from our seminar guests. Deep
Palms Coins Across is offered by Eric DeCamps. Doug Brewer fools the guys all
the time with Two Coin Classic. Scotty York attaches a nickel to his head at his
bar with Nickel Head, and now you can do it as well! Scott Robinson explains why
all coin magic is Not the same with Differences. Rounding out this section is
Bill Citino's wonderful opener, Money Doesn't Grow on Trees.
The BONUS section contains two more worker routines by Gallo, a discussion of
Stealth palm by Rubinstein, and further insight into Roth's Secret. But that's
not all, there are two more volumes!!
Volume 12 (BACK TO WORKERS), contains two hours of even more incredible material
for the hobbyist and pro alike!
Dr. Michael Rubinstein offers Time For Change, a purse spellbound routine with a
surprise climax. Fuzzy Math takes the gadabout coins idea to a new level. Silver
Extraction is so practical, it will make you take your old gaff out of the
drawer, dust it off, and perform a winner!
Mike Gallo comes to bat next, with two more amazing routines. Two Copper One
Silver offers a new way to perform the classic routine, leaving you totally
clean. Okito Transit, shows once again Mike's exceptional versatility with the
Okito box, as he uses it in ways that will blow you away.
David Roth continues with his amazing coin magic. He demonstrates and explains
the McCarthy Hankerchief vanish. proving once again that there is gold hidden in
the old books. Rip-O is also a forgotten trick for most magicians, but David's
brilliant presentation brings it up to speed, and will quickly find its way back
into the Worker's repertoire!
Our special guests have contributed even MORE wonderful effects for this volume.
Doug Brewer teaches Recaptivated, a wonderful routine to produce coins from your
pen cap. Eric DeCamps explains another Worker Coins across. Icon Scotty York
presents and explains one of his favorite bar tricks, Nickel Through the hand -
Almost. Scott Robinson teaches Loose Change, a quickie with a penny and nickel
that EVERYONE will do after watching it! Host Marc DeSouza closes out the set
with Copper Silver My Way, a practical copper silver transposition with a lovely
premise and the engaging DeSouza touch.
But there's more! Our BONUS section contains a discussion of click passes by
Rubinstein, two MORE eye opening bonus effects by Gallo, a performance of the
Chanin TV coin production by Roth, and TWO MORE bonus effects by Doug Brewer
right out of his professional repertoire!
Two volumes weren't enough for the New York Coin guys, so they went and produced
a THIRD volume! Volume 13 (BACK TO WORKERS), offers yet ANOTHER TWO PLUS HOURS
of 15 practical, hard hitting coin magic used by pros, but easy enough for the
average close up magician. Dr. Michael Rubinstein starts off this volume with
Copper Silver Brass, a five phase routine that uses no gaffs, and no extra
coins! Copper Silver Transposition is the classic effect, made easy to perform
with the Rubinstein slide move. The Purse and Glass is Rubinstein's take on
Roth's classic showpiece, now made into a stand up worker effect for ALL
performing situations!
Mike Gallo shows his take on the Cap and Pence, but steals the show with his
rendition of Milton Kort's Four from Two Equals. David Roth follows with his
Flurry, giving all the details you need to perform this one coin classic.
Not to be undone, our contributors have gone all out to give you the FINEST coin
magic around! Eric DeCamps struts his stuff with his Three Coins and a Ring.
Doug Brewer goes Trekkie with Transporter Malfunction. Scotty York sneaks in
Bill Swindle. Scott Robinson uses two spectators for his In the Hands
CopSilBrass. Marc DeSouza shows some new ideas with his Coins Across, and Dan
Watkins reveals a NEW idea, a progressive wild coin that was a BIG hit with the
guys at the Seminar, called The Coin Chalice
But wait, there's more!! Our BONUS section finishes the series with two more
bonus killer effects by Mike Gallo (does he ever run out of new stuff?), a
discussion of coin magic by Roth, a bonus routine by Rubinstein, a performance
by Scotty York, and a table discussion of WORKER effects by the fab three.

In these trying economic times, magicians are looking for more
- more good routines, more moves, more theory, and above all, more value! The
New York Coin guys, David Roth, Dr. Michael Rubinstein, and Mike Gallo, have
heard your cries! They have created their own coin stimulus package, by cramming
six and a half hours of more coin magic, into three new volumes of their classic
New York Coin Magic Seminar series, called More, Much More, and Still More!!
that's right, more of everything - more coins across, more copper silver, more
productions, vanishes, and penetrations, more special guests, and more! Let's
look at the contents of each.
Volume eight (More) contains two hours of more great magic from the New York
Coin Guys. David Roth performs for the FIRST time on DVD his Blank Coin Routine,
and follows with his rendition of his classic Stonehenge routine. Dr. Rubinstein
performs a version of Nest of Boxes that was the hit of his last trip to Japan,
He follows by showing a polarized plastic disc that when rubbed, becomes a real
coin. Smileys is a very commercial coin effect where a sad face drawn on a coin
changes and changes, bringing a smile to both the coin AND the spectator. The
best part, though, is yet to come, as Rubinstein reveals for the first time on
DVD his Stealth palm, sure to find a place in every coin man's repertoire!
Not to be undone, Mike Gallo gives you more great magic, with a Gaddabout coins
routine that has a dynamite ending that you will use! Quarter Transpo is a
strange transposition of 4 quarters and 4 half dollars. Childhood memories is
Ramsay's Coins and Cylinder routine with a story that gives a reason for your
props, and makes the routine even more spectator friendly.
The section ends with special guest Vic Trabucco presenting a very practical
coins across routine.
But wait, there's more! The Bonus section starts off with a clever Okito Box
routine by Mike Gallo, and a discussion of the breakout move by David Roth.
Rubinstein performs a routine called Smileys Jr.,based on the effect presented
elsewhere on the DVD. There is a rare 1983 performance from the late Geoff Latta
doing his classic CopSilBrass, followed by the first of three sections by
special guest Al Schneider on coin theory. The Bonus section ends with a
discussion by Schneider on a new way to do the Pop Out Move!
But wait, there's another two hours in Much More, the title of volume 9! David
Roth performs and explains his own, unpublished version of the Nest of Boxes,
with the classic Roth touch, and for the first time on any DVD, performs his
Deep Back Clip Coins Across that should give thrills for the guys looking for
knuckle busting stuff. Dr. Michael Rubinstein makes a signed coin travel to
underneath a business card three times, with his classic Triple Coin to Card,
and follows with his one of his favorite all time routines, Quadra Coin Reverse
Matrix. Stealth Spellbound is an uber clean triple spellbound using stealth
palm, and coins mysteriously appear and disappear into the air with Stealth
Hanging Coins.
Mike Gallo is up next, with a self working stunner called Thieves and Sheep.
Differences is a copper silver routine where coins move around and around. He
finishes with an eye popping routine called Bust Up Bucks, based on a Dr. Sawa
idea, where a dollar breaks into 2 half dollars and then into 4 quarters.
Special guest Vic Trabucco is back with a stand up coin vanish, and special
guest Scotty York makes his New York Coin Magic Seminar debut with his famous
Copper Silver Transposition, with the patter that other magicians have tried to
prevent him from revealing, as its just too good!!
The Bonus section is bursting with much more! Gallo goes into detail on a new
Okito box routine, and Roth discusses the proper way to do the spidergrip
vanish. Rubinstein makes sure you understand the R.O.P.S. move, and explains a
NEW application for it. Special Guest Al Schneider presents the second part of
his coin theory, and newcomer Bill Citino offers a brilliant hanging coins
routine. Special guest Scotty York finishes up with a trick he always does at
the bar, called Nickle Saver.
Wait, there's Still More, with almost two and a half hours in volume 10! David
Roth shows that size does matter with Fugitive Coins. You will learn all about
coin boxes and moves with Roth's in depth discussion on the Okito Box. Dr.
Rubinstein updates a handling of an old effect with Magnetic Coins III. Ultra
Reverse Matrix was supposed to be an entry in Tannens New Stars of Magic series
in the 80's, but now its yours. Rubinstein again showcases Stealth palm with
Stealth Copper Silver Transposition, but you can see just how special Stealth
palm can be with the Stealth Showcase, consisting of productions, a coins
across, and a gaddabout coins routine with a killer ending!
Mike Gallo goes wild with his Okito Coin Box routine, and pennies become pennies
in Nonsense. The biggest reaction of all the DVD effects, however, comes with
Old Faithful, a routine that finds its roots in a Roth effect, but goes the
other way! Vic Trabucco is up next with another practical coin vanish, and the
legendary Scotty York hits a homer with his A Sweet Coin Trick, where a signed
coin is found in a sugar packet.
The Bonus section contains the third installment of Al Schneider on Coins, where
he puts his theories to work with some amazing coin vanishes. Scotty York
showcases his Two Copper one Silver routine in the Numismatist. Vic Trabucco
performs Glass Transit, which ends with a vanish in the classic Trabucco style.
Guest host Marc DeSouza gives up his award winning routine, A Matter of Time,
and the section ends with an in depth panel discussion by the New York Coin guys
on the Retention Pass.

New York Coin Magic Seminar (Volumes 8, 9, 10)
M. Gallo, D. Roth, M. Rubinstein $100
(3-disc set)
The Coin Champions are at it again, packing three
DVDs virtually to the brim with fine coin magic and very useful information.
In case you don’t know, the “Coin Champions” are
Mike Gallo, David Roth, and Dr. Michael Rubinstein. For the last couple of
years they have been releasing DVDs from their New York Coin Magic Seminar
events. These DVDs include live and studio segments, special guests and, in
the first seven discs, they focused on specific effects such as “Coins
Across,” “Copper/Silver,” etc. The material is a combination of items that
have been published in the past (print and video) and new items. These three
new discs keep to this format with one exception: Instead of focusing on a
single category of effect, they feature what Jeopardy fans call
“Potpourri.” This is all the stuff—and there is a lot of it—that couldn’t fit
into the first seven discs. There is so much, in fact, that you should go to
their website,
www.NewYorkCoinMagic.net, to see the entire list of 50 items—over six
hours worth—found on this collection of discs (a couple are performance only).
I will, however, touch on a few of the items that caught my eye and think will
catch yours.
Volume 8, titled “More,” has 10 main items and
six bonus items. It starts off with a nice handling of the newer (brass)
versions of the old “Nest of Boxes” by Dr. Rubinstein. I particularly like the
premise he brings in to explain this odd prop. In “Counterfeit Coin,” Dr.
Rubinstein premiers a new concealment of his devise—the Stealth Palm—that
becomes the primary move of several effects found on subsequent discs. David
Roth’s classic “Stonehenge” plot is a great version of “Matrix” wherein the
coins vanish from the hands—using a complete vanish—and appear under picture
postcards. The effect finishes with a big, but logical, kicker. “4 Ways Out”
is a wonderful routine by Mike Gallo using an Okito Box. The explanation—which
was filmed live during a breakout session—is a lesson in working with a coin
box. Al Schneider makes an appearance going into some theory on coin magic and
then revisits his “Pop-Up Move” which he has refined since it was first
published in his seminal book, Al Schneider on Coins (1975). And there
is a wonderful piece of video of the late Geoff Latta from 1983 performing his
remarkable “CopSilBrass” routine that—in case you didn’t know—did not
use the familiar gaff set. (This is performance only, but you can find the
explanation in Richard Kaufman’s CoinMagic [1981].)
“Much More” is the title of Volume 9 and it has
11 main items and six bonus items. One of those bonus items is special guest
Scotty York performing and explaining “Nickel Saver.” This is great bar
magic—direct and easy to follow. It is a version of the “Cap and Pence” using
nickels, a Lifesaver candy, and a dollar bill rolled into a tube. “Rub
Through” is a very nifty item from special guest Vic Trabucco. Mike Gallo goes
an extra mile with more on the Okito Box and also explains a virtually
self-working version of “Thieves and Sheep” by his late father, Lou Gallo.
David Roth shares his handling and premise for those “Nest of Boxes” seen on
Volume 8 and in a breakout session goes in depth on the Spidergrip Vanish. Dr.
Rubinstein explains the R.O.P.S. move (Retention Open Palm Steal) in detail.
Al Schneider makes another appearance with more theoretical analysis. Whether
or not you agree with him—and I do not—that magic is a “technology” and “not
an art,” anything that gets people to think more about their magic is a good
thing.
Volume 10, “Still More,” has 11 main selections
and five bonus items. Special guest (and the host of the event) Marc DeSouza
performs and explains his wonderful “Matter of Time.” This is a performance
piece with two surprise endings and is proof that magic secrets are—as Penn
Jillette has said—all about the gaffer tape. “Ultra Reverse Matrix” is, as Dr.
Rubinstein says, a very clean version of this now classic effect. “Okito Goes
Wild” is Mike Gallo’s nice Okito Box version of the “Wild Coin” plot. David
Roth gets into the Okito act with a nice segment on the box (with focus on the
slot box). Al Schneider returns and puts theory into practice with a
discussion on coin vanishes and he also performs and explains “Split Silver”
from his book Al Schneider on Close-Up (1980). The jewel of this
disc—and perhaps all three—is the half-hour long Panel Discussion (by the
three “New York Coin Guys” as they are also known) on the Retention Vanish.
Each man shows and explains in depth their version—and they are each quite
different—of this key sleight.
This collection of discs is high on value to
price ratio. There is a ton of good to great material here that will keep coin
enthusiasts busy for a long time. I highly recommend them.
