Just Two Coins
Just two normal coins vanish & appear at will
Coin Across 101
Start loaded. End clean.
Coins to the Bagless Purse
Three coins melt away visually as they are tossed to the bagless purse.
Four Card Monte
My favorite card routine, easy and fun to perform and worth the price of the lecture alone.
Troy’s Ace’s
A easy to do Ace production with a incredibly colorful ending.
Personality Prognosticator
A prediction with a killer ending and also easy to perform.
Rubber Lock
Two rubber bands link, unlink and then lock themselves together visually!
Bottomless Box
Two crystal balls are magically produced with the bottomless box.
