Half And Half – Volume 1 by Doug Brewer

Practical Magic for the Working Performer!

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.
