32 Part 2 \u2013 Extended Platform and Close-up Routines<\/b>
\n32 Theme and Variation in Silver \u2013 Part I: a full coin routine in which coins appear in the magician\u2019s hand, transfer from the spectator\u2019s hand to a glass, one of the coins penetrates, and a dollar in the glass changes to coins. Props needed include: snap coin purse, squeeze coin purse, eight halves, 25 quarters, a pen, a 15\u2033 silk, a signet ring, a ring box, close up pad, a close up case with a handle, glass, plastic gimmicked glass, and you need to wear a necktie.
\n43 Theme and Variation in Silver \u2013 Part II: a full routine (though short) in which a coin penetrates the hand, changes to a blinking eye; another coin with a red dot becomes a \u201cbox\u201d from which more change is removed; then a jumbo coin \u2018case\u2019 is shown and a stream of quarters emerges to the sound of a laser. Props needed include four halves, two jumbo 3\u2033 halves, a quarter, a roll of quarters, 2 dimes and a nickel, silver duct tape, double sided tape, prescription bottle to hold roll of quarters, three Avery style sticker dots, blinking doll\u2019s eye (craft store), miniature clothes pin, and a toy laser, pen, rubber bands, and some tissue paper. You must wear a coat.
\n53 Theme and Variation in Silver \u2013 Part III \u2013 The Steroid Coin: an invisible coin is removed from a purse and then becomes visible. The coin is chopped up, erased, thrown through a glass and is restored each time. Then it grows to a Jumbo coin, multiplies, and then all vanish in a paper sack. Props include: 10 dimes, miniature clothes pin, change purse, paring knife, wooden pencil with eraser, plastic cup, 2 silver dollars, two 3\u2033 halves, dark handkerchief, a 2nd handkerchief, two paper bags, cardboard, scissors, and tape. You must wear a jacket.
\n60 Stage Coin Routine: To be performed to music. The magician\u2019s finger appears and disappears under a handkerchief, then Silver dollars are removed from the handkerchief which are tossed in a cup. An invisible coin becomes visible in the handkerchief and penetrates a glass. Another coin is plucked from the air, vanishes, and is produced from a purse frame. It then grows to a jumbo coin, which vanishes and reappears in the handkerchief. Four more coins appear from the handkerchief, followed by six jumbo coins. Finally the \u2018finger\u2019 grows to 9 inches! Props include: platform table, black handkerchief, gimmicked goblet, 9 silver dollars, gimmicked silver dollar, 9 plastic jumbo coins, holder for coins, plastic cup, 9 inch rubber finger, purse frame, cardboard, close up pad, contact cement.<\/p>\n
