Uncover the innovative coin routines and expert techniques of a modern master in coin magic. Calico by Rick Holcombe proves that coin magic can be exciting and engaging. This 160-page, beautifully illustrated book, over a decade in the making, features 14 practical and visual routines, including transpositions, coin-through-table effects, and in-the-hands miracles. You’ll also learn a versatile set of sleights that will enhance your overall coin magic skills.

Calico avoids the flashy stunts often seen on social media, focusing instead on meticulously crafted routines with clear structure. Many of these routines can be combined for extended performances that appeal to diverse audiences.

This comprehensive book is divided into four main sections:

• Sleights Section: This section provides all necessary sleights for easy reference and focused study, ensuring you won’t be distracted by sleight descriptions during routines.
• Part One: Explore a variety of coin miracles performed in hand using Rick’s preferred coin set: a silver coin, a copper coin, a Chinese coin, and a copper/silver gaff. This part showcases powerful effects that can be sequenced together.
• Part Two: Delve into additional standalone routines that fully utilize this dynamic coin set.
• Part Three: Rick presents eight more routines that utilize various coin and gaff combinations, including new material and refined versions of classic effects. Fans of his “Double Tap” routine will be thrilled with the new phase introduced.
