Coin Magic for Beginners

Learn Amazing Coin Magic - Even If You've Never Performed a Trick Before!

Coin Magic for Beginners is your complete, step-by-step introduction to the fascinating world of coin magic.

Written by Luke Jonas, author of Mind Reading Tricks for Beginners and Self-Working Card Tricks for Beginners, this practical guide takes you from your very first coin trick to performing impressive close-up magic routines.

Inside, you'll discover:
