A spectator selects and signs his name across the back of a card. The magician then proceeds to fold the card into quarters and tear it right down the middle with the signature in plain view; that's right, no switches or substitution of pieces! The halves are put together and torn once more. The magician plainly counts four separate pieces without fumbling to hide or mask those familiar, bulky, and suspicious looking edges. No funny looking fans and no false counts.
The first two pieces are held edge to edge and, with no cover, the magician simply blows on them and they become one. This portion of the card is now cleanly shown front and back and may even be examined by the spectator to confirm that the signature is intact. The next piece is held flush with the card and the seam is slowly massaged, joining it to the rest of the card.
The fourth and final piece is shown and touched to the card whereupon it instantly links to the rest of the card. The magician then hands the card to the spectator stating that it is really only half way restored. The card is taken back and by simply rubbing, the creases are caused to vanish. As if that weren't enough, the magician then peels the signature from the card, gives it (the signature) back to the spectator, and returns the card to the deck.

There are seven routines on this DVD. Four of the coin routines involve the "underhanded" process that allows for extremely clean handling and must be performed standing. Two of the coin routines are performed on the table-top. Finally, there is a bonus card routine, performable where ever you have a little table space and three willing spectators.
There are four sections to the DVD, each with its own submenus for easy access. One section is performance only. Another section explains virtually every coin sleight used within all six coin routines (including the Gallo Pitch, an outstanding substitute for the venerable Han Ping Chien), those sleights NOT limited to the "underhanded" process. The third section describes the how-to of each routine, and finally, the last section has the performance and explanation of the bonus card routine. All of the sleights and routines are explained in great detail.
Effects Included on this DVD
The Invisible Hand - An absolutely baffling coin vanish and reproduction, performed stand-up and surrounded. May be performed in one's bathing suit!
Citation Silver - Bob Elliott's wonderful stand-up routine in which a copper and a silver coin switch places, multiply, and change inexplicably. Performed and explained with Bob's permission.
Pitchin' Penetration - A lead-them-down-the-garden-path-and-turn-on-the sprinkler effect, this stand-up routine allows the performer to push a half-dollar through flesh and change two half-dollars into a silver dollar very, very cleanly.
Underhanded Coins Across - A classic: the stand-up coins across. Underhanded methodology leaves no fathomable clue for your spectators and the routine introduces a new sequence in which the last two coins travel from hand to hand without the hands coming together at all!
The above routines introduce my handling and performance management of an old sleight-of-hand utility device that has been updated and made extremely practical. Great emphasis has been put on detailed explanation of this 'underhanded' concept.
Top Billing - The original Matrix routine using paper currency for covers, this routine has been a worker for over 25 years when table-hopping at restaurants and corporate events.
KnihC - A - KnihC - This version of the Chink - A - Chink plot features an astounding instant reversal. An extremely easy routine to perform that will stun your audiences.
Another Sequestered Collectors - The Bonus Card Routine for this tape, a collectors effect that is notably direct and uncluttered, it is the only routine of its genre that I use for the laity.
What People are Saying
Roger Klause - "To simply say that Paul's prowess with coins is on par with his excellent card work would indeed be an understatement! His diabolical technique and applications bring new meaning to the Art of Coin Magic."
Bill Malone - "Coming from a guy that loves coin magic, all I can say is that Paul's visible coin magic is my kind of magic. Unbelievable!!"
Bob Kohler - "Practical, absolutely, eye-popping, 100%. When a true pro like Paul releases his life's work on coin magic, either get this video or get out of magic because those who invest their time and money on this extraordinary material will be the new top professionals."

Doc Eason - "Anytime a "worker" like Paul tips his mitt with anything I am always the first in line..."
