Overview
One Book, 358 pages, a cubic butt-load of coin magic, $12 bucks and one Modern Coin Magic Review. Is it gem or is it rubble? Stay tuned to find out.Effect
Um . . . I'm not sure how to discuss effect or method in a volume this complete. Let's just say that just about every coin move, trick, idea, etc. that has ever been done is either in this book, or inspired by something in it.Method
This book covers coin switches, coin ditches, coin vanishes, coin appearances, coin tricks, coins across, coin palms, coin penetrations, coin to impossible location, stuff with regular coins, stuff with gimmicked coins, and tons and tons and tons of other coin "stuff." This is the actual book "they" are referring to when "they" say " . . . every trick in the book."Product Quality
The quality is also top notch. It's printed on high quality paper, with clear printing, over 500 very clear illustrations. It's categorized into progressively more advanced concepts. It's starts with the basics and smoothly transitions into the more intricate, difficult stuff. Further, by the end of the book, you will have been exposed to not only a ton of sleights/moves, but also 130 effects, including full routines from some of the most accomplished coin magicians in the history of coin magic. It's well written, well illustrated, and easy to learn from. A lot of the stuff will take a ton of practice, but everything you need to learn it is in the book.Ad Copy Integrity
The ad copy is excellent and 100% accurate. This book really is the incredible book they claim it is. Not much else to say here folks.Final Thoughts
Products like this are hard to review. It's so complete, and so awesome, that there's really not much to say. If you ever have done, currently do, or ever will do even one single coin trick, you absolutely must own this book. It's perfect for beginners and coin magic experts and everyone in between. And at a mere $12 bucks there is no excuse for not adding this book to your personal library.Final Verdict:
5 Stars with a Stone Status of GEM!

I've bought this book five times in 35 years because it is the very best book on coin magic ever written.
As a working professional magician, I have used stuff from the Bobo book virtually every day of my performing life. Recommended most highly.
