"Chris Capehart is one of my absolute favorite magicians! He's funny, fast, and fearless. The moment he steps out onto the stage, he owns it, and he stays in command every moment until he leaves them laughing in his wake. For audiences small and large, young and old, his results are the same, and his impact immeasurable."
- Jamy Ian Swiss
"I have seen Chris perform The Miser's Dream at every venue you could think of. It has never failed to amaze and delight the audiences."
- Bob Little, Convention Producer
"I have watched Chris do his Miser's Dream and other coin work for our audiences for the last four years. This routine always gets them going. It is definitely a guaranteed winner."
- Michael Chaut, Monday Night Magic - New York Producer

Every ounce of the knowledge, experience and wisdom Chris Capehart has accrued in 35 years as a professional magician can be seen in this excellent version of the Miser's Dream. The six-minute routine not only manages to hold the attention of all two dozen kids and adults on the performance portion of this DVD, but gets three of them on stage, who in turn interact with several more in the audience, and the rest of them shouting (when they're supposed to), laughing (when they're meant to), and throwing invisible coins at the magician (when they want to) with hilarious results. I laughed out loud watching the show and I suspect you will too. Beyond that, there are no difficult sleights, no mechanical aids, no expensive props to purchase, and the routine allows for (but does not rely on) a great deal of improvisation, so it can be adapted to suit different kinds of audiences (Chris has performed it at children's shows, on the streets, and in his Tropicana act, among other places). As a bonus, Chris also shares his no-nonsense six-coins-across routine, which includes several transpositions, a Continuous Coins production, a Two-in-the-Hand-One-in-the-Pocket sequence, and a Total Vanish wherein all the coins disappear and you're left clean at the end.
