The classic coin plot, without the expensive part
The cylinder and coin is one of the great pieces of coin magic, and for most of its life it has come with a catch. The usual handling leans on a gimmicked coin, the sort that costs more than the rest of your case put together and then spends the whole routine hoping nobody asks to look at it.
This is Sam's way around that. A cylinder, a cork, and coins you already own. Nothing gimmicked, nothing you have to quietly get rid of at the end, and a handling that is genuinely easier than the one it replaces.
The trailer. The 20 minute explanation teaches the whole routine.
What Samuel King has put together is simply LOVELY to watch, and the methods are just SO outside the box when it comes to this plot. I was watching this saying over and over, dammit I wish I had thought of this. GET THIS NOW!

Twenty minutes of studio explanation, shot in 1080p.
- The full routine, taught properly from the first move to the last
- Two bonus ideas, with Sam's thinking behind why they work
What you are not taught
A basic coin vanish. This assumes you can already make a coin disappear. If you have done any coin magic at all you will be completely fine here. If you have never picked one up, learn a vanish first and then come back.

Questions people ask
Do I need an expensive gimmicked coin?
No, and that is the whole point of it. The standard cylinder and coin handling leans on a gimmicked coin that costs a small fortune. This routine uses ordinary coins you already have in your pocket.
Where do I get a coin cylinder?
Sam uses a leather one made by Vagabond Leather, at vagabondleather.co. Anything of roughly that shape and size will do the job.
How hard is it?
Easier than the classic handling it replaces, but it is not self working. You need to be able to vanish a coin already, because that one move is not taught here.
Can I use these moves in the routine I already do?
Yes, and Sam rather expects you to. The bonus ideas and the thinking are built so they fold into a cylinder and coin routine you already perform.
How long is the video?
Twenty minutes, in 1080p, and that includes both bonus ideas.
How do I actually get it?
The moment you pay, an email arrives with your download link. Nothing gets posted and nothing turns up in a week. Save the file and it is yours.
What if my download link stops working?
Links last a week, which is plenty, but if you miss it just get in touch through the contact page and Sam will send you a fresh one.
Can I still get it on Gumroad?
No. It used to be sold there and it is not any more. This is the only place it lives now.
How do I get the video?
The download link is emailed to you straight after payment. It never expires, so you can come back to it whenever you like.
