Coin Magic

This is the first installment of Scott's "Sit-Down Coin Magic" Series. Combining two classic plots of coin magic ("Twilight" and "Coins through Table"), Scott has come up with a powerhouse of coin magic that Guy Camirand called "A beautiful routine!"

A large silver dollar is dumped from an elegant box, and the box set aside. A mirror is held up to the coin. The coin's reflection is pulled out of the mirror--there are now two coins! The two coins are placed in front of the mirror. One at a time, each coin and its reflection are pulled away, leaving you with FOUR coins! The coins magically penetrate the table one at a time, the last one visibly! Finally, all four coins are taken in one fist and held over the box. The other hand hold the mirror between the fist and the box. The fist is opened--the coins are gone! The box is opened--all four coins are inside!

This routine is not meant for high-repeat situations like table-hopping, restaurant, or strolling gigs. Rather, this is a "feature" routine, designed for formal close-up shows, friends around the dining room table, or to impress that VIP at a lunch or dinner meeting. And impress them this WILL! In fact, as related in a story within the ebook, a man another magician in the Boise area had just performed for related to him in detail the effect of this routine seven years after he had seen Scott perform it! Now That is the mark of STRONG magic!

This is a beautifully produced ebook of 23 pages. Scott explains every detail of the routine in his clear and engaging writing style, which is accompanied by 24 photo illustrations, and a "Bare Bones Explanation" for review.

Another great value at only $10!

That's a BEAUTIFUL routine! - Guy Camirand

Wow! That's the best version of coins through the table I've ever seen! - Jerry Krause

Very, very good! And very STRONG! Better than I see at The Castle or convention contests! - Aldo Colombini

This is terrific! As a disabled person I must perform seated, and will be able to do this. It blends perfectly with other coin effects, and the sleights are usable in other effects as well. Twilight Passage provides an incredible balance between anticipation and surprise. So, get it already! - Ken Muller

This is crazy stuff. What's crazier is that it works just as Scott described it--it looks crazy real! This is not only recommended, but strongly recommended! - Chet Cox

I received Scott's Twilight Passage and I must say that even though I’m not a sit down guy, this effect has piqued my interest. The work up is well written with easy to follow instructions. What I like most is the effect can be done with any coins. I can’t wait to dive in and start getting this down. It seems to me that Scott’s routine can be done to music, no patter necessary. Do yourself a big favor: get it! It’s one of the best effects for the buck. - Vinny Marini

#2 in the Sit-Down Coin Magic series, this is one of Scott's most acclaimed coin routines. You introduce a saltshaker filled with “coin concentrate” (silver glitter). You sprinkle a little of the dust onto your obviously empty hand, squeeze, and a half dollar appears in your hand! You decide to demonstrate the special properties of this coin, making it vanish, reappear, penetrate the table, turn into a foreign copper coin and back to a half dollar! Finally, with a squeeze and a crumble, the coin dematerializes back into the shaker, and your hands are absolutely empty!

This routine is visually striking and magically mesmerizing. It flows from one effect to the next, building to a powerful magical crescendo. This routine was part of Scott's act that won his first close-up magic competition. But it is not a "competition" piece--it was designed for real people, even though it also wows magicians. Just when the wise ones think they are on to you, they realize they aren't! This piece is a lesson in the routining and construction of strong magic.

Scott explains every detail in 30 pages of his famously clear and readable writing style, accompanied by 40 large, clear photographs. Priced at a ridiculously low $10!

That routine is gorgeous--just gorgeous! - Jeff Martin

I think this is what coin magic should look like! - Aldo Colombini

You've learned a bunch of different coin sleights and never use them, right? Now you will, in a continuous flowing sequence that makes sense -- plus learn some new moves and sleights that you will immediately add to other effects. Sit down for this! Yes, it's done at the table -- where else would a salt shaker be natural? Sprinkle a little magic into your life! Shake the piggy bank and I'm sure you'll find $10 -- or check the couch. Then be prepared to learn some neat stuff! - Ken Muller

This is a routine that is delightful to perform and to view. In “Silverdusted” a lot of magic happens: the production of a coin, which vanishes, reappears, penetrates the table, changes several times and disappears at the end. This makes “Silverdusted” a complete coin act, very suitable for the sitting magician in a more formal venue. It’s more than worth it to take time and effort to master the routine. Here we have a real “worker”. It’s a delightful close up routine. Well written, easily understandable for even non-English speaking magicians. Very detailed descriptions--really readable as an ebook. A 10 out of 10! - Peter Vanspauwen

Scott has done it again with another winner in my book. When I first learned this routine, it opened my mind to many things. Scott goes into great detail explaining his Silverdusted routine. He guides you every step of the way, going over every sleight and body positions in detail. This routine is a mini clinic in routining and magic. Scott's instructions are clean, easy to read and follow, with photos all along the way. Very professional ebook from a very professional guy. Highly Recommended! - Tim Feher

This is a great routine! The sleights are not overly difficult and are always motivated by the routine. There are several astonishing visual moments, including at least one premeditated "magician fooler." Scott says he does this to music, after introducing a salt shaker full of "coin concentrate." You could add patter if you felt so inclined, but the routine tells its own visual story, with a beginning, middle and clear ending. Highly recommended. - Scott Barden

Three POWERFUL coin magic routines with "tricky coins"--professionally routined, complete with patter! Easy of execution, but strong and commercial!


Scott has held nothing back: the routines are masterfully explained, profusely photo-illustrated, and include all the subtleties and nuances, along with complete, professional performance scripts! The three effects can be performed one right after the other to form an entire coin set--in fact, that's exactly how Scott performs them. There is good variety between the routines, and audiences absolutely love all three!

Kung-Fooled - a twisted take on the Thieves and Sheep plot, with a surprising (yet logical) finish!

Simplex Multiple Spellbound - Do you like the Spellbound effect? Well how does THIS grab you: FOUR silver coins change to FOUR copper coins with no false moves and both hands are completely clean! Then the FOUR copper coins magically change to FOUR Chinese Coins! You end totally clean--everything may be examined!

Many Happy Returns - A half dollar visibly and instantly multiplies to three half dollars! Then a quarter and a dime appear, magically, visually, and very cleanly. All but one of the coins suddenly vanish, and that last coin VISIBLY turns into a JUMBO (3 inch) coin in the PARTICIPANT'S HAND! Once again, you end C-L-E-A-N!

34 pages, 33 photos/illustrations, complete professional performance scripts! An absolute STEAL at only $15.00!

Level: Easy-intermediate

I just finished reading over this E-Book by Scott. It has some very nice routines using various "special coins", most of which you probably already have. As always, Scott does a great job explaining the routines, with fantastic photos and Scott's now famous Sleight Index. My favorite routine is the "Simplex Multiple Spellbound". It's a very clever take on John Mendoza's routine "Multiple Spellbound". Scott explains how to make a very cheap, easy coin clip. I made one and it is awesome. He discusses his use of combining two sleights, "The Crossing the Gaze Switch" with "The Bobo Switch", to create a very powerful deception within the routine. It is Scott's understanding of the psychology of magic that help him to create really good routines like this. Folks, for those of you who are not familiar with Scott, his 20 plus years of performing and seriously studying magic have turned him into one of the most knowledgeable magicians I know. His insights, his ability to take sleights and methods and "turn them sideways" or use them for something else than originally intended has created some fantastic magic. If you like doing coin magic using various "special coins" than I highly recommend picking this one up. These routines are great workers. Nice job Scott! - Hank Morfin

Three KILLER coin routines from Scott's professional performing repertoire.

Not only are these routines powerful and commercial, they are easy to learn and perform! These are the three most-performed coin routines from Scott's arsenal--the bread and butter material he has used to make a living for years. Scott has held nothing back: the routines are masterfully explained, profusely photo-illustrated, and include all the subtleties and nuances, along with complete, professional performance scripts! The three effects can be performed one right after the other to form an entire coin set--in fact, that's exactly how Scott performs them, and he explains how. There is good variety between the routines, and audiences absolutely love all three!

Magic Western Union - a commercial coins across (Flying Eagles) routine. Many have said this is the most entertaining presentation ever for this effect.

Invisible Coins of a Different Color - a copper coin and a silver coin are shown. One at a time, they turn invisible and then visible again. Incredibly magical!

In-Tin-Tin - an amazing, entertaining, and commercial signed coin to nest of boxes. The Guinn difference? The Nest is in view and under guard of a spectator BEFORE the coin is borrowed, and the SPECTATOR opens all the boxes to find his signed coin!

33 pages, 43 photo illustrations, complete professional performance scripts! An absolute STEAL at only $15.00!

Level: Easy-intermediate

There's a reason why I've been a Scott Guinn fan for a long time. These three routines are the proof why I am. Scott left no stone unturned. Use all three of the routines for a set or do just one. It doesn't matter. The reactions you get will be amazing. Highly Recommended !!!!! - Tim Feher

You're going to want to add Three Killers to your coin magic library and immediately to your repertoire. You get all you need here in this instant download to begin doing some fabulous coin work, plus any questions you might have, Scott's always available and answers the bell every time. It's a lot of well thought out work at an amazing value; an absolute steal. More great work from Great Scott that I highly recommend. - Marion Boykin

These are not "YouTube Wonders." The fact that Scott did not release them until they had YEARS of work says VOLUMES for the workability of these effects. With just "Invisible Coins of a Different Color" in the book, I'd recommend it, even if the other two effects were lousy. And they're not! - Chet Cox

I highly recommend you get ALL of Scott's work. The presentation for Magic Western Union is really fun. My favorite line: "I've got you on file now, so it's even quicker...Dit!" If that makes no sense to you, well, then you'll just have to pick up this PDF and all will be revealed! - Ben Salinas

Magic Western Union is not only killer, but it's a workhorse routine. It's commercial, resets effortlessly, and is easy to do. Thank goodness you also don't have to take out a loan to get special coins --you can use quarters and a jumbo coin. It's Scott's "go to" routine and it kills. (Yes, I have seen him perform this for real people.) I think what sets this apart is the jumbo coin transformation at the end. It is eye candy in the extreme, and even when you know what he's doing and know what is coming, the transformation is still amazing and magical. Get the e-book just for this routine, and you will have a solid piece of magic that you can and will perform constantly. The other two routines are icing on the cake. - Darrin Cook

Two powerful and commercial routines using Okito-type coin boxes and international coins.


Introduces some subtle new concepts you can apply to other routines. Great stuff! If you are into coin box magic, this is an absolute "must-have"!

38 pages of instruction in Scott's well-known clear and friendly style, accompanied by 51 photographs. All required sleights explained, including Scott's CS Subtlety, Rollout Move, and Slide Turnover.

Level: Intermediate

This one is neat, gives you 2 well-thought out presentations with the Okito Box. Great layout, with exact photo's and explanation, and like I've said before Scott's work is some of the only stuff out there that doesn't need a video to understand... it's that clear. Just follow the steps, add practice and you're there. He's had this out there for a while but he's dusted it off, reformatted, edited, expanded, hyperlinked, and made it just delicious. Clever stuff from a very creative guy. I gotta say, it's solid work and quite amazing. And y'know, I just like the feel of this e-book; it's just well done and got good bones to it.

I gotta go find my old Okito Box and get down with Great Scott. I recommend you do the same--that is if you're serious about good strong magic at a more than affordable price. Make sure you check it out--one of the best from one of the best. - Marion Boykin (Smooth)

This is another one of Scott's update/re-releases of previous material I picked up. Scott has done a great job with these re-releases. He's expanded the text, enlarged / added pictures, created hyperlinks in the Table of Contents to allow you to go to any part of the manuscript you wish, and my favorite thing Scott does with his PDF's, his Sleight Index. Scott has collected all of the sleights used in the routines in his Sleight Index and has hyperlinks within the text and anywhere those sleights are referenced. This allows you to jump right to the explanation of the sleights. Nice job Scott! - Hank Morfin

Do you like the Matrix effect? Here are four versions of this classic effect of coin magic, each with "the Guinn touch", plus an entire comedy script, straight out of Scott's professional performing repertoire, meaning you're really getting FIVE routines! This fun, funny, and exciting story will grab your audience's attention and lock it in place right up to the big finish!


This book has recently been drastically expanded to include extra nuances and finesses. In addition, all the required moves and sleights are explained, in the lauded clear style Scott has become famous for. The table of contents and sleight index are now hyperlinked, as are the mentions of the sleights within the routines. This makes the learning experience much easier.

Each of these routines has its own unique qualities to offer. Coins assemble, disassemble, change colors, and more!

The first routine by itself is worth much more than the total price of the eBook! Great Scott! It's great magic!
40 pages, 70 photos.

Level: Easy - Intermediate

What I like about this is that Scott is so complete in his explanations. His use of photos is spot-on. He is one of the only guys nowadays that I would say doesn't need video to show you how to do this stuff. He is a clever writer and clearly lays out several methods of Matrix. He's got his ebook laid out like a surgical procedure: every move precise, every motivation precision. Put it all together and you've got top flight magic. He teaches you everything you need to know about the effect(s) from moves/sleights to making your own coin clip. The guy is like a swiss army knife. Whatever you're thinking of asking, he's thought of already and explains it.

His stuff is not hard and actually he does all the heavy lifting, making it easy for you to understand and perform. He's thought of everything here. So you want to do Matrix, come learn basics with this one and immediately step out in the deeper waters with Scott's clever creations on the genre. Now you know I'm a Quickie-Tricky sorta guy, and Scott's "World's Fastest Coin Trick" is just a killer...I love it! He mixes everything in with surprises like this all along the way in all 4 of these routines, plus there's so much more, like "Scooter." You'll have to get the e-book to fully appreciate the name. It's like going through the Fun House and never coming out. More great stuff from Great Scott. Highly recommended. - Marion Boykin, aka "Smooth"

I haven't been doing Matrix because I don't do card tricks -- now Scott shows me how to not do a card trick using cards and do a Matrix instead, except that I do a card trick when I don't mean too. So, I guess I have to do Martix now, except that this is different, being Scott's and all... If you like Matrix effects you will love this. If you don't like Matrix you will love this. Even this endorsement is a Reverse aMtrxi! - Ken "Funsway" Muller

With this PDF you get four routines. As always, Scott discusses in great detail and with clear photographs, the sleights required to perform the routines. If you like Matrix Routines, check this one out. Another nice job, Scott! - Hank Morfin

I'm really impressed with how these routines integrate coins and cards. Usually, in a matrix routine the cards are incidental, but Scott uses the cards to deliver an extra punch. The delayed focus on the identities of the cards not only comes as a whammy, but conceals the method through time misdirection. The production of coins from a card is also motivated, and another good example of integrating card and coin effects. - Darrin Cook

I recently purchased GREAT SCOTT’S MATRIX ROUTINES, and have to honestly say that the material in it is excellent! I am very impressed with how Scott describes every detail in step-by-step easy explanations. He doesn't steer you to other books to learn the sleights needed, either--he teaches everything! These are workable routines. My next purchase will have to be SILVERDUSTED! - Dan Bernier

GREAT SCOTT’S FLURRY

Unique plots and twisted classics, all audience tested in the real world!

Scott has put together 13 of his best routines for this ebook and let me say, you’re in for a treat! Every routine taught is from Scott’s working repertoire, tested and worked out through the years to perfection. I love ‘Wormhole,’ and ‘Pouched CSB’ is one of my long-time favorites. ‘Struck, Packed, & Pitched’ is a unique take on coin in bottle that ends absolutely clean! Can you say WTF? If you can’t that’s OK, because your spectators will after you perform this baby. ‘Shelled, Folded, & Hooked’ is Scott’s very simple and straightforward handling of The Hanging Coins plot. If John Ramsey could see this he would be proud. ‘Great Scott’s Flurry’ is a thing of beauty. I can’t recommend this ebook enough. - Tim Feher

“‘My Best to You: Coins’ reflects Scott's regular penchant for excellence in production and instruction. It is very conversational and comprehensive and tackles a battery of coin effects that aren't difficult to get down, have plenty of plot to them and are engaging and fun to do. It's a lot of good stuff, well explained with clear photos and Scott's easy-understanding way of teaching. He's got something in there for everyone, every level: Clever stuff with everything from lollypops to a giant ring to a horseshoe wallet to a magic salt shaker that Goshman would be proud of--just well thought-out magic from a guy that has done it all. There are 13 effects in this gem of a book. If you just master 2-3 of them you're loaded for bear. All of them are creative and take you through the classics as well as Scott just freelancing (as in ‘Great Scott's Flurry’). Some of my favorites are ‘UN Coins Thru Table,’ ‘Eye Con,’ ‘Wormhole,’and ‘Sucker Trick.’ You'll find your own favorites in this eclectic bag of coin tricks, but Scott shows you how all the way through. And it's not knuckle-busting stuff--just good, doable coin magic that will amaze people in a variety of settings. I love the layout of this book from the first word to the last. This is some of Scott’s best coin work from over the decades. It's real world stuff that has withstood the test of time, from a good guy and an accomplished magician. It's well written, gives credit where it's due and should be on everyone's magic book shelf. A great value from Great Scott!” - Marion Boykin

“In this book you'll find something (if not many things) within your skill level, such as a stunning Thieves and Sheep routine. As I read the manuscript I was struck by Scott's encyclopedic knowledge of magic, so he's able to come up with neglected, little-known moves that are killer, such as a variation of the paddle move that I wasn't aware of, the Hirata master move, an easy-to-make pull, a devious coin display that conceals a jumbo coin, etc. Two routines are going into my repertoire --Scott's coins to glass and the Wormhole routine. The coins to glass has clever thinking and a powerful ending that would play well in a parlor setting. The Wormhole routine is a novel plot that reminds me of Shoot Ogawa's purse frame routine (only Scott's came out first, with credits to David Penn). A coin disappears and reappears into a ‘wormhole’ represented by a ring. If you do a mini rings routine, all you need is a half dollar and a jumbo coin and you're good to go. There's been a lot of interest in CSB routines, and Scott's is very magical and clean, without any trips to the pockets. All in all, it's a great book, filled with magic that's accessible to anyone.” - Raymonde Crow
