Dedication

I remember a number of years ago when I was feeling despondent because I

thought I’d never come up with anything good of my own in magic. You said,

“Don’t worry! In a few years, you’ll be writing books on your routines!” And I

knew you meant it. Well, you were right! So I dedicate this series of books to

you, my biggest fan, my best friend, my encourager and supporter.

These books are dedicated to my sweetheart and wife,

M agic is a fun thing. Besides being fun to do, it has also allowed me to meet some very

Scott has the uncanny ability to jump from card magic to parlor magic with the same ease that most of us

use to sing a song. And, by the way, he is also extremely versatile. In case some of you don’t know,

music is another thing that he likes to study. Contrary to myself, Scott has an ear for music while I simply

have an ear for pencils.

I am very glad and proud to be able to say that I inspired some of his work, as you will see in his credits

throughout the books. Scott takes the matter of credits seriously and is very precise about it, for which he

receives my admiration.

He lives in the quiet town of Star, Idaho (near Boise), population 463 if you count the cemetery. Boise’s

name derives from a French word that means ‘made of wood,’ but please do not hold this against the

lovely people of Idaho. Scott makes a living out of working for them on a regular basis, doing close-up,

restaurant magic, stand up and kid shows. And, he does them well! Sometimes he even uses his Italian

accent....

Scott creates magic that inspires enjoyment in the hearts and minds of the onlookers that share his

performances. He is able to ‘touch’ people’s hearts with a sense of wonder, happiness and humor. These

routines have been worked on and refined over many years of presentations to the ‘real’ people (as in ‘lay

audience.’) Try them out, every single one, and see for yourself which ones will fit your personality and

way of performing. I am sure it will be most, if not all, found in his books.

Thanks Scott, for the fun you gave me during our much too rare conversations. And, I’m sure I speak for

all who have been lucky enough to witness your performances when I say, “Thanks for all the great

magic!” As we say in Italy, “Continua in questo modo che vai forte!” And I think that everyone will

agree with this!

wonderful people; some very good performers; some creative individuals. My friend Scott

Guinn is a combination of all the above. Besides being good at performing our art, he is also

very talented, especially when doing the finest impression of Aldo Colombini I have ever seen! So, if

someday you answer the phone and you hear, “Hi, this is Aldo”... be careful because it might be Scott!

relationship with coin conjuring. I hate it because you have to put in a

lot more effort to master it than, say, card magic. There aren’t very

many self-working coin tricks! But I love it because there’s a special feeling of

satisfaction in a well-done coin routine. Even more than cards, people seem

impressed by magic with coins. Perhaps that’s because most people have heard of

trick decks, but not trick coins. I don’t know.

A big advantage of coin magic is that it’s perfect for those occasions when you’re

unprepared to perform and someone asks to see some magic. Borrow a few coins

and you’re ready to amaze and entertain.

Included here are items for impromptu performance as well as table-hopping and formal close up venues.

There are items that are super easy and a few that are fairly difficult. There are routines that are minor

variations of others’ work and routines that are primarily original. I’m biased, of course, but I don’t think

there’s a bad trick in the book!

When you bought this book, you were expecting something from me. You were expecting good routines

and effects with no “filler.” You were expecting to get a book that was enjoyable to read and that had

some items you could use. Well, I honestly feel that I’ve done my best to give you that. And now I have

some expectations of you.

Don’t try to perform these routines in front of people until you’ve got them down cold. Don’t

“demonstrate” them, but entertain with them by giving them a presentation with your personal touch.

Don’t expose the methods to non-magicians, either through explanation or poor performance. And don’t

use them to insult, challenge or belittle your audience. I’ve done my very best to live up to your

expectations. Please do the same for me. Don’t spoil the time and effort I’ve put into developing these

routines and writing them up by neglecting the above advice. Then we’ll both reap the benefits we want

from this author-reader relationship!

Enjoy your journey to the back cover!

Second

Edition

This edition contains the same routines as the first edition, but

many photos have been added to aid you in the learning

process. Further, some of the routines have been expanded or

rewritten (some extensively) to make the explanations more

clear. In addition, the material has been reorganized into

chapters. I have always felt this trilogy contained good material.

Now I feel it has a format worthy of the material. Enjoy!

Great Scott! It's More Magic!
