The Coins Across routine is a classic of magic that has stood the test of time. Practically every close-up magician has their own favorite methods, sequences, routines, and kicker endings. Some of the reasons it is a classic is that the routine is easy to follow, impossible to reconstruct, it has built in repetition that forces the spectators to pay greater attention and focus on the magic as the routine builds to an ending.

So, the question is which is the best routine? The answer is subjective but in my opinion the use of a shell cleans up a lot of unnecessary handling associated with the sleight of hand, and extra coin methods.

The three best routines I have ever seen were invented by friends of mine: David Roth’s Shell Coins Across, Derek Dingle’s Silver Quick, and Michael Gallo’s Easy Coins Across. If you would have hired them to work at a private party doing strolling magic or even formal shows you were likely to see them perform their routine multiple times. I am sure they are among their favorite creations.

The good news is that by purchasing this video download you will be able to learn all three outstanding routines which are performed and explained by the creators. Or you can take the best parts of their three routines and create your own sequences that fit you best.
