BOBO STUDY GUIDE This is a general study guide of Bobo's MODERN COIN MAGIC. The book, reprinted in paperback by Dover Press, is available from most book stores, for less than $10.00 and is considered to be the basic manual of coin work. OBJECTIVE: Participants will learn selected sleights and tricks from Bobo's classic. The selected readings, of course, are subjective and represent what I consider to be the essentials. The more-serious student of magic may want to seek supplemental sources of material related to his or her own interests. BEFORE YOU BEGIN: Dig out or order a paper-back copy of Bobo's MODERN COIN MAGIC (Dover). I recommend an inexpensive paperback so you can jot notes in the margins and underline key passages.

Gather the following materials to start: A few American half-dollar-size coins; a few American dollar-size coins; two half-dollar size copper coins; other assorted coins; and a handkerchief. WEEK ONE - Basics 1. Read the Preface, Braun's Introduction, Acknowledgments, and the Prologue. Skim Chapters 1 and 2. Read every word, and do not stop reading to try some of the sleights.

It is very important that you understand Bobo's theories and philosophy, before you tackle the hard stuff. Review Chapter 1, Coin Concealments, and practice all the sleights, with emphasis on the following: a. Classic Palm; b.

Edge Palm; c. Downs Palm; d. (NOTE: Give the various Clips and Front/Back Palms a look, but concentrate on the sleights listed above.

Carry a coin at all times for practice.) 4. Review Chapter II, Basic Technique, and learn the following techniques: a. Bobo Switch; b. Utility Switch; c. Click Pass; d. Bottom Steal; e.

'Fumble' suggestions. TEST YOURSELF ON CHAPTERS 1 & 2 WEEKS II & III - More Basics 1. Read Chapter III, Coin Vanishes. Read every word before beginning a re-read and emphasis of the following effects: a. Standard Vanish; b. Thumb Palm Vanish; c. Illusive Coin Pass; d.

A Coin Vanish; e. Flyaway Coin; g. Vanish for Several Coins. (NOTE: Play around with all the material in the Chapter, but concentrate most of your efforts on the items listed above and the basics from the previous chapters.) 2.

Read Chapter IV only after your have at least a working knowledge of the material in the first three chapters. (NOTE: If, at the end of three weeks, you have not gained a working knowledge of Chapters 1 through 3, it would probably be best to continue practice and review of those chapters. But, do not become frustrated, because all of us have or have had problems with some of the material. JUST PLAY WITH IT. It is not life-essential material, but it does form the important basic foundation for more advanced coin work.

TEST YOURSELF ON CHAPTERS I - III WEEKS IV & V - Putting it Together 1. Browning Gti Ultra Sporter Manual. General Strategy Game. Read Chapters IV, V, and XVI.

There is a lot there, isn't there? And we haven't even scratched the surface yet. So, it is time to start putting it together, so to speak, and begin tailoring our own performances, complete with compatible routining and personalized patter. But, before we do that, let us do a little self appraisal.

Rate yourself on the following more-or-less desired skills, using three grading levels: Excellent, Good, Needs Work. Make a list of the 'Needs Work' items and practice them before proceding to the next week's level. Chap I, Coin Concealments: Classic Palm, Edge Palm, Thumb Palm, Finger Palm. Chap II, Basic Technique: Bobo Switch, Utility Switch, One Hand Switch, Click Pass, Bottom Steal, 'Fumbles' c.

Chap III, Coin Vanishes: Standard Vanish, Simple Vanish, Thumb Palm Vanish, Illusive Coin Pass, A Coin Vanish, Pinch Vanish, Gone, Flyaway Coin, French Drop, Handkerchief Coin Vanish, Vanish for Several Coins. Using all the knowledge you know and information from Chapters I through V and Chapter XVI, put together a Single-Coin Routine, using the first three suggested routines in Chapter XVI. If you do not know the effects suggested in those routines, look them up or substitute an effect you already know.
