Practical Magic for the Working Performer!

Volume 1

Ultimate (?) Wild Coin Routine

• History Production： A devilishly clever way to produce 3 coins while ringing in a gaff.

• Ultimate (?) Wildcoin： Doug’s handling of the classic effect. 3 coins change one at a time into a Chinese coin. A super clean， visual change turns them back to silver.

• Payout (Performance only)： A favorite from The Unexpected Visitor Vol.1 fits perfectly here.

• Chinese Change： The finale for the entire routine brining it all full circle.

A Bill Routine

• Transporter Malfunction： Doug’s surprising variation of the classic $1 and $5 transposition， based on a routine from Joshua Jay.

• Skullcracker Correction： Bob Sheet’s visual， in-the-hands change， corrects a horrible situation.

• bill2box： A killer ending to the entire routine. They never see it coming.

The Triple Crowns (Based on Larry Jennings’ Triple Discovery Routine)

• Ace Revelation： Two jokers morph to reveal the Aces.

• Royal Crown： A demonstration in cheating leads to a progressive revelation， ending with a Royal Flush.

• Australian Crown： A reworking of LJ’s Triple Discovery routine to reveal 3 selections in a surprising and magical way.

Shell Game Finale

• Borrowed Ring： So you want to end the Shell Game magically? Here’s how Doug does it with a borrowed ring.

• The Pearl (explanation only)： A beautiful surprise ending， particularly useful for your female spectators.

Stand-up and Be Counted Routine

• Coin Catch： How do magicians play catch? Based on Fred Kaps Coins & Silk routine. Simplified and amazing.

• Shell Fly： Not again! A super clean and logical extension of the previous routine.

• Savior Faire Vanish： A stunning way to instantly vanish 3 coins in a silk.

• Cointinuum： A shorter variation of one of Doug’s own routines. 3 coins vanish one at a time at the fingertips. Look out for the surprise ending.

Card in Motion Routine

• Quick Card Through Table： Make a card visually penetrate up through the table， and a chosen card penetrate down into your hand. All at the same time!

• Three-zers： A silly pun leads into a killer revelation of a signed card. Based on ideas from Br. John Hamman and Alex Eimsley.

Imaginary Air Mail

Direct from Doug’s lecture， a handling of “thought card across” that Gordon Bean loved.

• Syd Segal’s ultra-clean version of LJ’s Monarch’s Quartet. You’ll fool yourself.
