i love this book. it has some very good tricks using coins and bills, which are extremly easy. very clear instructions. no skill nedded to do these tricks. it even has the misers dream in here. i recomend this book to the beggining magician intrested in money magic. you will learn alot.

If you think asking someone if they know where a certain word appears on a dollar bill is a magic trick, then this book is for you. Saying "where does an anagram of White Snow appear on a dollar" and then when they give up you point it out - is NOT MAGIC. It's not even a trick. Its just a rather sad puzzle or riddle.

Most of the tricks in this book are that bad. A lot of them don't take more than 2 lines to explain in the book.

There are a few good coin tricks, but they aren't 'self working' and involve palming. Some of the tricks aren't even coin tricks, they use bills. So its really money stunts.

If this book had been called "80 stunts that are rather cack and a couple of tricks that need some practise" it might have been more honest - but then it wouldn't have sold.

Fulves self working card trick books are awesome, but when it comes to coin magic he seems fairly clueless.

Not all self working, not all magic. Unlike Karl Fulves other books, this one is terrible.

I really enjoyed the book very much and use some of the tricks for close up work.

If you see a book written by Karl Fulves on magic that has the words Self-Working in the title then buy it. There is a wealth of knowledge in each of these books. -Diamond Jim Tyler
