Mr Clean Magic sponge
Months ago a coin trick using a Mr Clean Magic sponge was published in Genii. I think??? I save my issues of Genii, but now can't find the trick and Richard does not remember the trick. Maybe it was in a different magazine. Help! Does anyone know where this effect appeared?

Re: Mr Clean Magic sponge
You are probably thinking of Magic Eraser by Jonathan Friedman. It's published in his book 'The 80s Called...They want their magic book back'.
Although I wrote up one of Jonathan's effects for Magicana, a more extensive collection appeared in Magic a while back; I'm fairly sure it will have been in that.
You should get the book, though.

On a side note, you might find useful the following database, which indexes all the Genii Magazine issues starting from 1999 (the Kaufman era ones):Months ago a coin trick using a Mr Clean Magic sponge was published in Genii.

Just type "Jonathan Friedman" in the Person field and you'll get three references: two tricks in Magicana and one book (the one Ian pointed out) review.
