Always GREAT INFO
Comment from : @srinivasshastry-g8l

Wonderful insights! I love that you acknowledge the minutia— that there is not one solid answer to that question brI am very glad I stumbled upon this channel!
Comment from : @wizardray2089

I started learning coin magic from David Roth and had the privilege of meeting him in person and he reassured me after meeting him that the size of the coin is irrelevant for the exact same reason you mentioned in your video, David always stated that he had small hands and that he felt most comfortable with half dollars for most performances because of the size of his hands, myself also I can relate,but I’ve also performed tricks using dollars I felt added a certain something to the trick that I felt easier performing with,probably less slight of hand related(not everyone) micheal ammmars coin silk routine to be precise,it’s a very personal thing so I hope everyone can relate and do what they most feel comfortable with

Comment from : @millardlongman1449

You should write a book ! your philosophy on magic and technique is spot on! I just subbed you
Comment from : @Navigatorbythestars

Did you play the guitar as well? Love the coins I’ve just started using Morgan’s over the libertys I’ve messed about with for years I really want to be decent coin guy before I get too oldam I too old? I’ve forgotten more magic than I knowbrSmilesotheylikeyou
Comment from : @thestreet9537

You make some very convincing arguments for larger coins I was pretty set on quarters because common pocket change is easy to come by brbrYou keep saying larger coins are harder to work with, but honestly I'm having trouble palming quarters because they're so small My hand just looks like it's obviously hiding something
Comment from : @dechskaison2497

For me the best are soft coin like Morgan,barber and half crown
Comment from : @nexmagic6089

Great videos definitely plan on delving more into coin magic
Comment from : @Jesse336

I just wanted to let you know that I have been wanting to practice coin magic and routines for a very long time And have seen a lot of different coin tutorials online But nothing that compares to your Channel! I just wanted to thank you so very much for sharing your wonderful coin magic and style of teaching which is so clear and concise that I can actually practice even though I have rheumatoid arthritis in my hands I am starting to learn different sleights and be able to turn them into the routines that you teach so clearly So again I just wanted to thank you with all of my heart for your channel and taking the time to teach so many people how to do coin magic properly with clear instructions and teaching I love the way that you speak slowly and do the explanations slow enough that I can actually understand it and it's giving me the ability even with rheumatoid arthritis in my hands to be able to try it and actually learn it and make it into routines that people would enjoy watching!!

My grandfather left me an 1884 Morgan dollar It’s not only my lucky coin, it’s my favorite coin to do magic with
Comment from : @jeffshanley3414

Morgan’s
Comment from : @miamimagicians

With all the state quarters having different back designs do you find it difficult to borrow a spectator coin and use a gaff or prepared bent quarter?
Comment from : @TheStimuli

That is why I do my coins across with jumbos
Comment from : @Dantick09

Love those eagles!
Comment from : @barberquarter3797

Silver is the most reflective metal and that’s why clad looks more dull silver looks great in coin magic I use barbers half dollars and Morgan’s/Peace dollars!
Comment from : @barberquarter3797

Hey Rick, I just found your channel You have a wonderful skill of communicating I'm going to update my gaffed coins and you helped me to decide which way to go (Silver dollars) Gravity flipper Which vendor do you suggest? I'm looking forward to watching more of your broadcasts Rick Thanx, -keith

I recently bought a dozen 1965 Kennedy half dollars ($5 each) The milling on their edges provides a great grip

Comment from : @EzaVinylAddict

I forgot to mention that I've watched a lot of other people's videos Your teaching style beats everyone I've watched hands down Crisp, clear and concise with great explanations and clear video Couldn't ask for more
Comment from : @scottwalker2398

I can't believe this popped up on my recommended list today Just this afternoon I was wondering which size coins to use once I begin Now I'm wondering what's the most of each size I'm going to need to work with your video when it's ready? I'd like to start collecting them now, because as you said, some of them aren't cheap Thank you Rick
Comment from : @scottwalker2398

Thank you so much for this video!!!! It really helped me out by answering a couple of doubts I had 😊
Comment from : @DiegoLopez-ll5os

Excellent topic to cover!
Comment from : @motorcitysmokers1601

Great channel bro, just sucks with coin sets being so expensive, i use local old silver coins from south africa, a set of morgans with a shell, would set me back a months rent, with the exchange rate, bonus is that i had to learn to do effects through use of sleights only, pros and cons, i guess, keep up the great work on your channel bud, really enjoy it
Comment from : @stoicrecovery

I really like the philosophical excruciating minutia in magic Many folks don't care, nor have any idea However, I like the way you go about it As you get into THAT! brI've done and been involved in magic for a LONG time (45 years, off and on) brWhat you present is DEEP! MAGIC!!! 😎

Talk about an underrated channel! I just got into JB Bobo and been shifting from card slights to coins, and this channel is great
Comment from : @frank6842

In your intro are those Morgans real silver or are they replicas? If real how did you get them so smooth on the face?
Comment from : @JoseRuizMagic

Comment from : @mikesantillana

Comment from : @DaniMarko

The world needs more like you Rick, such an inspiration!
Comment from : @CreepX

Another amazing video, thanks for the tips Rick
Comment from : @adept_digits166

I generally use dollars size coins because I'm a big user of curl Palm and edge grip, and I've seen that with small coins it's impossible for my hand not to look crooked I'm from France so I started with 50cts€ and they are TINY, so when I got my first dollar sized coin my level improved so much that in a few weeks i learned things that would have took me months The thing is no matter the size of the coin, it need to be able to be concealed without your hand looking crooked and it has to fit you (you have to be confortable with it) Finally, I think that bigger coins are more visual for sure but if you can't do proper clean magic with it, there is no point in staying with those big fat coins

Comment from : @potatospud1597

Love your videos man thanks for sharing! Your retention/french drop vid helped me out a bunch would never have used my retention as it was before I watched that Im having problems with windows, my fingers are quite skinny and when i have a coin in finger palm and pick another up my fingers separate a little and I flash Its not always convenient to switch to another palm and it looks really cramped awkward if I try to force my fingers together Any tips?
Comment from : @laugh1199

thanks for the awesome video!! bsorry for the long comment/b :) bri wanted to ask how can i become a better performer? like how can i get control of my audience, i have been working on blink by Eric Chien for 2,5 months practicing for 4-5 hours a day and i thought that i was in a good position to perform it in public(school) but the moment i do it to my friends they don't give me the chance to reset,so after 2,5 months the reaction i got was "u cant fool us with this bullshit" i just feel sad now and i am scared to perform in public brbrbri cant afford getting special coins to perform super triple coin or three coin across but now thinking about performing them in public scares me i dont want to give magic secrets Any ways thanks for the awesome videos! keep up the work :))
