Comments (Larry Barnowsky): 21st Century Coin Mechanics is a book explaining some of the latest original advancements in sleight of hand with coins. 25 chapters and over 300 crisp black and white photos teach you in detail how to learn and perform these sleights and routines...All of the effects except one are done stand up and all are done with silver dollar coins. You can use smaller coins of course. Most of the effects use no coin gaffs.
