I'll be presenting the premiere of "All Done by Coindness" the all new Semi-Automatic coin/money magic lecture Monday May 23 at 7:00 PM for the Conjuror’s Corner Magic Club Meeting at Mr. Beef and Pizza 1796 S. Elmhurst Road Mount Prospect, IL 60056.
Much mahalo to THE Curtis Kam for suggesting the theme for the current lecture and notes, semi-automatic coin magic, as well as for the awesome title.
The new lecture has great material from Jeremiah Zuo, William Wheeler,Oliver Corpuz, Ryan Bliss, Joe Cole, Jeff Prace, Eric Rose, Tomas Blomberg,Curtis Kam and me! Tricks with coins, paper money, coin gimmicks, Tenyo props, candy wrappers and more. Like the previous 3 lectures and my recent Penguin Live Lecture the new material in this lecture is magic you’re going like and want to use!
I’m working again with Jeremiah Zuo on the new notes (he has been an integral part in putting together “OiATER” and the most recent 3 sets of notes ) and he just sent me this message: “I know after those first notes we were always like "these next ones aren't going to be great" then every time we ended up thinking they were the best ones yet.
But I already really think these notes are going to be the best ones yet.”
The lecture notes will be available after May 23.
Hope to see many of you there!!

Re: "All Done by Coindness" Lecture May 23 Chicago Area
Here's a description of what's the manuscript.
"all done by coindness…
A lecture from Tom Dobrowolski and Friends "
14 Full Routines- 64 pages-over 100 illustrations
This is the 4th in the recent series of lecture notes and my 5th set of notes overall. A lot of good things have come about as a result of releasing this series not the least of which is seeing and hearing about magicians worldwide using the material! I am truly pleased. That was always the goal.
Much mahalo to Curtis Kam for suggesting the theme for the current notes: semi- automatic coin and money magic; as well as for the title. When I asked for suggestions for a title for these new notes, Curtis quickly replied with “I'll share my current tag line--put that David Devant poster you like so much on the cover, with the saying, "all done by coindness".” Curtis is the man!
Contents:
Inverted Matrix the Easy Way - Curtis Kam
This take on the matrix kickback was published in Curtis Kam's first book, All the World is a Stage. This routine fooled a number of the contributors to this volume the first time they saw it. And it is the easiest reverse matrix in the world.
Matrix 21 - Curtis Kam
Having left all of his fancy expensive silver coins, the magician elects to do some magic with his spare pocket change. Out of his purse he removes some small change. He proceeds to perform a matrix with these coins and four cards. In the end three of the coins vanish and reappear inside the purse.
Whole-Hearted Hopping - Tom Dobrowolski
I have been playing with this routine for some time now. It is an outgrowth of hop- ping halves, but plays up the "not working out for the magician gag" by incorporating some other effects. It has evolved from Carl Andrew's Short Hop.
Chocolate Coins - Jeff Prace
3 chocolate coins are dumped from an M&M's bag. One by one the coins vanish and reappear back inside the candy bag. In the end a real purse with three half dollars inside is dumped from the candy bag.
Soft Coins Redux - Tomas Bloomberg
This is the coolest presentation for the Tenyo trick, Soft Coins ever.
George is on my Mind - Eric Rose
One of the easiest ways to lower the sleight of hand requirements for money magic is to turn to the realm of mentalism. In this effect the serial number of a dollar bill from the audience is mentally discovered. This routine was developed a decade ago when Eric was performing at tradeshows.
Impromptu Hornswoggled - Bill Wheeler
The magician claims to have invented a way to scam people by making them think you have more money than you do with a trick count. He demonstrates by showing four dollars and attempting to count them as eight. The count doesn't prove to be that deceptive until the magician proves it and gets a generous tip!
Make Believe - John Carey
John says-The beautiful coin effect, The Fading Coin by Tomoyuki Takahashi, first published in Genii magazine is one of those little gems that only pop up ever so often. Imagination games combined with magic always seem to register strongly with the public. The great Eugene Burger has featured his presentation of this piece in his work for many years. I loved it but wanted a stand up version and only needing one coin. The classic copper silver coin and a little swindle happily achieves my objective.
Mutual Exchange - John Carey
Simply put, this is another method for the classical copper silver coin transposition. But the good news is it's almost self working. If you can hold two coins at your fingertips, you can do this effect!
The Big Penny - Oliver Corpuz
One of my good friends has a two year old daughter named Ketzi. Whenever I see her she immediately asks to see my pocket change, at which point she will hand me a coin and ask me to "make it big!" A jumbo coin is a common ending for good reason. But you don't need to be a sleight of hand master to produce one. You could do something as simple as what I do for Ketzi every time I see her.
Breakout - Ryan Bliss
3 coins are cleanly and clearly placed in an Okito Box and the lid is placed covering the box. Ly Instantly the box is flipped over with one hand and the 3 coins are shown to have vanished out of the box. A split second later, a clink is heard in the other hand and when it is opened the 3 coins are now inside the other hand.
Wave Vanish - Ryan Bliss
Three coins are held at the fingertips. With a wave, one coin vanishes followed by the second and third coin leaving nothing in the hands. The coins can then be reproduced from another location such as a purse or an Okito box. I think what Ryan does here is as close as we will ever come to the appearance of sleight-less coin vanishes. The sequence is pretty, open, and practically a special effect in appearance.
3x3 Transposition - Jeremiah Zuo
Three coins (a half dollar, English penny, and Chinese coin) are laid in a line on the table and proceed to transpose with each other in a rapid series of transformations. If you care to know, the silver and Chinese switch places, then the copper and Chinese switch places, then the Chinese and silver, then the silver and the copper . . . you follow? Best of all it’s virtually self working!
Ultimate Progressive Coin Assembly - Jeremiah Zuo
A tiny bit of cow (a leather coin purse) is introduced. Three coins are dumped from it, which along with three ordinary playing cards will be used for a bit of magic. After a bit of magical pingpong (3x3 Transposition above) each of the coins is placed underneath a different card in a line on the table. The copper coin vanishes from underneath the first card and joins the silver. Both coins vanish from underneath the second card and join the Chinese coin. All three coins vanish from underneath the final card and reappear inside the coin purse.
