Discover the groundbreaking coin routines and expert techniques of one of coin magic's modern masters. Calico by Rick Holcombe will teach you that coin magic doesn't need to be boring. More than a decade in the making, this 160-page, beautifully illustrated book is proof that coin magic can be both accessible and captivating. In total, you'll get 14 practical and visual coin magic routines ranging from transpositions to coin-through-table effects and even in-the-hands miracles. There's also a versatile set of sleights taught that will benefit your overall coin magic. Calico does not feature the type of flashy coin stunts that are prevalent on social media. Instead, these are meticulously crafted routines with defined structure. Many of them can even be combined into extended performances that play to all types of audiences. This comprehensive book is organized into four key sections: The dedicated Sleights Section details all the necessary sleights for easy reference and focused study. You won't have to worry about getting bogged down, or distracted, by the description of a sleight in the middle of a routine. Part One and Part Two then dive into a variety of coin miracles that can be done in the hands using Rick's preferred coin set: a silver coin, a copper coin, a Chinese coin, and a copper/silver gaff. In the first part, he shows you a set of powerful effects that can be combined into a compelling sequence. Then, in the second part, he dives into some additional standalone routines that take full advantage of this dynamic coin set. Finally, in Part Three , Rick offers eight additional routines that take advantage of a variety of different coin and gaff combinations. This includes new material, as well as refined versions of his classic effects. Those familiar with his amazing "Double Tap" routine are going to absolutely love the new phase he's created. Produced by Vanishing Inc., the book itself is a thing of beauty. And to enhance the learning experience, Rick has drawn and annotated his own illustrations to accompany the written instructions.
