Spare Change
by David Acer
Imagine this: You remove a penny from your pocket and ask someone for a dime, in an effort to perform the famous "11 Cent Trick". You drop the dime into your pocket, but suddenly, it travels back in time 10 seconds and reappears in your hand with the penny!
You pick up the penny and hold it at your fingertips, and instantly, it becomes the dime! The dime simultaneously becomes the penny, as the two coins transpose right before their eyes!
Finally, you close your left hand into a fist around the dime and offer to show them the famous "26 Cent Trick". Upon opening your hand, the dime is seen to have changed into a quarter!
What People Are Saying:
Jim Sisti of The Magic Menu said "It's the perfect trick to carry around with you for that 'impromptu' miracle!"
David Regal called it "... one of the strongest, most visual coin effects that can be performed close-up. The coins do all the work... a utility item that will be embraced by the expert as well as the novice."
Sol Stone said "A lovely routine. I'll take one!"
David Goodsell (M.U.M. Magazine) said "I like it! David Acer is one clever fellow."
Comes with precision coins and photo-illustrated instruction booklet.

CARD COLLEGE Volume 5
It's finally here! In the fifth volume of the acclaimed Card College series, Roberto Giobbi has prepared a graduation party! In previous volumes the reader has been given a remarkable collection of tools for creating astonishing card magic. In the same vein, Volume 5 begins with a meaty chapter of new techniques and strategies, which include methods for covertly arranging stacks during performance, obtaining a duplicate of a spectator's signature with his knowledge, and secretly conveying cards to and from the deck-powerful tools indeed.
But then Volume 5 diverges from the established Card College formula. Judging that the reader now has more than a sufficient number of tools in his grasp, Mr. Giobbi provides eight chapters filled with tricks and routines that illustrate how various techniques are applied to create world-class card magic. These effects, however, are not mere constructions meant for teaching. Most have been drawn from Roberto Giobbi's professional repertoire.
