Complete Coin Magic for Amateur and Professional 

Bobo's MODERN COIN MAGIC brings a new form of entertainment to the magic world, a form that can be performed anytime, anywhere, on the spur of the moment. With the basic knowledge of Bobo's know-how coin magic takes on a new lease of life. 

How often you have been asked, "Do us a few tricks," and you have had to answer, "Sorry, I haven't anything with me." 

Now that day has passed-coins are always at hand if you know coin magic. Few magicians do coin magic. With Bobo's coin book, you will now be able to routine many coin tricks into a half hour magic act. 

Bobo wrote his own book from his own experience, simplifying his wide knowledge of coin sleights, tricks and presentation. John Braun, for many years the Editor of The Linking Ring, has worked elbow to elbow with Bobo, editing the text. Nelson Hahne, Art Editor of The Linking Ring, has amplified the sleights and tricks with 510 of his clearcut drawings. 

Bobo is the first magician since T. Nelson Downs in 1900 to dare do a complete manual of coin sleights and use them in a routined coin trick entertainment.
