The
Encyclopedia of Coin Sleights Vol.3 by Michael Rubinstein DVD
The
close-up magician must use various sleights as his tools in creating
finished masterpieces. Often this is a difficult and time-consuming
venture as the sleights are scattered far and wide and finding just the
right sleights takes a tremendous amount of time, searching, sorting and
more searching. The Encyclopedia of Coin Sleights, featuring Dr. Michael
Rubinstein, provides a plethora of coin sleights making the creative
process much easier and more focused. Dr. Rubinstein takes the viewer
through a range of coin sleights from basic palms to fairly intricate
changes. These videos do not pretend to examine every sleight in coin
magic. Instead, Dr. Rubinstein has done much of the research for the
viewer and carefully hand picked what he considers some of the finer
coin sleights. Dr. Rubinstein is a superb teacher and really understands
how to explain coin magic so that anyone can understand it from the
beginner to the advanced performer. Each sleight is examined from a few
carefully and wisely chosen angles. In every case, Dr. Rubinstein
examines several variations of each sleight and also often includes his
own thinking and ideas which are quite excellent. He breaks down each
sleight in great detail with a voice-over as you watch extreme close ups
from a few carefully chosen angles specific to each sleight.
