WHERE IS A GOOD PLACE TO LEARN THE 4 COIN TRANSPORTATION where 4 coins leave from underneath one card one at a time and wind up all together under one card at the end of the effect..Not sure if this is a coin or a card trick, its kind if like a Hybrid??? is it difficult to do? are any gaffs used???

Sounds like you’re looking for a matrix routine. There are many versions out there - some hard, some less so, some using gimmicks, some with more sleight of hand.
There are many sources so could check any you may have access to, to start. https://www.conjuringarchive.com/list/category/1392 |

There's a version done under two brass covers which starts with 4 and 4 and proceeds to 3 and 5... till none and 8. That's in "More Magic" and uses gaffs. It's recently been made available gain by the folks at Airship Magic. Here's a link to a pic of the props: https://www.martinsmagic.com/allmagic/cl......supreme/ John Kennedy has a routine using coins in a row which move from under one hand to under the other. Here's a link: https://www.johnkennedymagic.com/scripts......duct=111 The plot of coins assembling under cards evolved from a trick made popular by a guy performing as Yank Ho, using four coins, two cards, and a handkerchief called Sympathetic Coins. You can find that in Bobo's Modern Coin Magic and it's a classic routine. When working on a suitable surface, that trick has a wonderful upgrade in Al Schneider's Matrix. Four coins and four cards.

I second cytoplast here.
As with many things in magic, there are often multiple ways to do most effects - some using no gaffs but lots of sleight of hand, and some requiring gaffs and less finesse. Some are even done with other items (like dice) instead of coins. This is one of those things, and and there are a whole host of things you could use - or not - depending on what kind of money or time you're willing to put in. As a side note/small point of feedback: - you are more likely to get useful responses if you give your posts descriptive subjects over "an easy question" and "one more question". It also helps future readers who come to the forum. - it helps us and looks a lot cleaner when you don't make chunks of your post in all caps. |

Great history post Jonathan. Lots to digest.
I think Harry Lorayne teaches Sympathetic Coins in his “Magic Book”. |

John Kennedy has a three coin version of that effect using two cards. It’s called Impossible Matrix. It can be done with four coins. Here’s a link to him demonstrating his item: https://www.johnkennedymagic.com/scripts......oduct=11

"Coin Card" is Steve Dusheck's novel (and imo, very good) version of this effect/plot, available on his 1982 lecture dvd (available at Airship Magic).
My ex-cat was named "Muffin". "Vomit" would be a better name for her. AKA "The Evil Ball of Fur".
