Review of New York Coin Magic Seminar

DVDs Volumes 5-7


Who would be CRAZY  enough to cram material for FIVE DVD's into  a THREE
volume set? The New York Coin Guys would!   DAVID ROTH, Dr. MICHAEL RUBINSTEIN,
and MIKE  GALLO, add to their now classic New York Coin Magic Seminar DVD 
series with a NEW three volume set on  Productions, Vanishes, and Penetrations. 
Over two  and a half hours on each disc,  crammed with new moves, killer 
routines, and workshop footage direct from the New York Coin Magic Seminars.  Let's
take a look at the contents of each disc:

 


VOLUME FIVE is divided into three sections.
 
      PRODUCTIONS AND  VANISHES  leads off with Dr. Michael Rubinstein's
three coin  production and vanish sequence, called Triple Play. Batting second is 
Bologna Debut,  Rubinstein's  wild four coin  production that ends up with a
coin at each corner of your close up pad. Two  Card Reverse Matrix is an uber
clean version that includes for the  first time ever, the patter Rubinstein
has held back for years! David Roth  follows with his reputation making Hanging
Coins routine.  Mike Gallo joins the party with a startling Four Coin 
Production, and to finish strong, special guest Dr. Kainoa  Harbottle demonstrates
not one, but TWO versions of Hanging Coins using  his own innovative techniques.
 
    PENETRATIONS  begins  with Rubinstein's Coins Through the  Table,
revealing for the first time his startling  kicker ending. Roth shows a classic
version of Coin in the Bottle, with  some beautiful touches of Slydini.
International Penetration   and Coins to Expresso Cup come out of Gallo's
professional
repetoire, and Spectator Boy Dan Watkins is back to help! Closing  this section
is a World Premiere performance of Cylinder and Coins by  none other than
special guest Giacomo Bertini, the Italian coin Maestro.
 
    Twelve routines might be enough for  some, but not the New York Coin
Guys! The BONUS section starts  off with a performance of Rubinstein's
professional act, utilizing routines  taught in all of the Seminar DVD's. Roth follows
with an in depth discussion of  the Classic Palm. In a snippet from his New York
Coin Magic  Seminar workshop, Rubinstein teaches the wave change and a few
NEW  variations. Closing out the DVD is a performace by Gallo called The 
Bottomless Cup.


VOLUME SIX is so crammed with material,   a special  DVD  was needed to fit
it all in!! Like volume Five, it is  divided into three sections.
 
    PRODUCTIONS AND  VANISHES begins with two innovative routines by Mike
Gallo,  Clipless Clip, and Smooth as Silk, which both utilize a  sneaky way to
silently vanish several coins.David  Roth follows with the  classic Portable
Hole routine. Dr. Michael Rubinstein makes a signed  coin and selected card
reappear in an empty card case with Case  Solved. Special guest Giacomo Bertini
releases an unpublished method for  manufacturing three coins with his Fort Knox.
To finish this section,  special guest  Dr. Kainoa Harbottle reveals an
innovative way  to  vanish four coins.
 
    PENETRATIONS starts  off with Roth explaining three methods for Coins
Through  the Table, including Kap's Squashed. Rubinstein follows with a new  way
to do an old trick, in Bill through Quarter. Rubinstein's Penny  Roll is the
Ball and Tube done with coins. Guest host Marc DeSouza returns  in this series
to perform his take on Cylinder and Coins.
 
    The BONUS section is  a virtual lesson on coin magic. After a performance
of The Tuning Fork  by Roth,. Mike Gallo goes over several moves and routines
in a selection of  material from his New York Coin Magic Seminar workshop.
There is a performance  of Gallo's Coins Through the Table with the classic
Gallo kicker  ending, followed by an in depth lesson on Pinky Technique from
special guest  Giacomo Bertini. Ending this disc is a special offering from guest
contributor  and young gun Eric Jones, called Tai Chi  Penetration.


VOLUME SEVEN rounds out the three volume set,  with over two hours of
reputation making coin magic!
 
    PRODUCTIONS AND  VANISHES begins with a a surprise - a routine with cards
by David  Roth, called Coin Cut. Mike Gallo teaches one of the routines he
has  been doing for over 30 years, The Pocket Counterfeiter. Circles is  Gallo's
take on Bob Fitch's routine. Dr. Michael Rubinstein offers his renditon  of
The Black Hole, as well as Mint Condition, a coin to  impossible location that
utilizes a box of breath mints. Special guest Giacomo  Bertini is back to
perform a new routine, called Coins and Corners.  Finishing out this section is
special guest Dr. Kainoa Harbottle with an  instantaneous multiple coin vanish
called Flying Wombat and Squishy.
 
    PENETRATIONS leads  off with Roth's Coins Through the Mini Table. Gallo's
offering is a multiple coin penetration called Three Times  Through. Dr.
Rubinstein presents a Stand up Coins Thrugh the  Table, as well as a unique Karate
Coin routine. The section  finishes with Gallo's handling of the Cylinder and
Coins.
 
    The BONUS  section completes the material in the series. Roth presents
ideas for a complete  show with coins , in a segment of his own workshop from
the New York Coin  Magic Seminar. Guest host Marc DeSouza goes back to the
classics with Ramsay's  Three Coins in the Hat. To finish, guest contributor Dan
Watkins offers  an entertaining routine called The Imperceptual Purse.
