I done a search and the is either really old threads or people asking for a certain routine.
What do you guys think is the best one out there? Is can be gimmicks or un-gimmicks etc. I wouldn't prefer with a shell, as this allows for some cleaner display I think. Also one which is quiet straight forward. No putting the glass in your coat pocket etc. I've been doing a lot of bar magic and think this would be great for these venues. |

Coins to Glass is great IMHO. I've used it for ages, it's a worker when done nicely.
I'd avoid using a shell, but that's just me. It does simplify things but shells damage easy and it's just one more prop to rely on. My favourie write up is In Danny Korem's book. David stone has a nice routine on one of his vids with just 4 coins in play, no extra. I like to use a clear plastic glass as real glass eventually cracks/chip. I believe there's a routine in Bobo's. My routine which has served me well, I posted a while back but here it is again: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AP0hP_hnrZI Coins to Glass kills.

Oh. Dear. God. It is fantastic! You can find it on the European Coin Symposium or on his Essence DVD's. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EntYHmNK2BM The part starting at about 1:50 is what really sets me off, but the first half is good too. |

The prettiest, most elegant and well explained coins to glass I've seen is Fred Kap's Coins and Glass Routine as originally published in Routined Manipulation Finale by Louis Ganson, Louis Tannen, New York, 1954. Kaps is largely neglected today, and was a truly gifted performer who created fabulous routines who also took the time to explain his work properly. Most of Kap's written routines seem to pass along a sense artistry within their descriptions where a lot of other coin writers tiredly 1-2-3 their way through scores of moves and routines without pausing to pass along crucial bits that make the work original and interesting in ways that further your understanding of what you are trying to accomplish.
Kaps had the rare gift of being able to write and teach, and this is a great routine well worth tracking down.

I'm partial to the Coins to Glass routine (of the same name) published by Shoot Ogawa on the dvd Cultural Exchange 2 (with Apollo Robbins). It's very direct and straightforward, with a few interesting/unique displays.

Fortunately there is no absolute best as one man's treasure is another mans junk so to speak and whilst some techniques will suit you others will not, likewise what works well in one setting may not be ideal in another.
Basically it's all about trying out as many methods as possible until you find the one that suits both your performing style and situation which is part of the fun so enjoy the journey

Silver and Glass by John Carney is my favorite. Good beginning, middle and end.

I very much like Lance DeLong's "Coin Through Glass, My Way" in Reel Magic Magazine #34. A big reason is that he never puts his hand over the glass. The flight of the final coin is very clever and will fool you.

Victorian Coins and Glass was put out a while back, it is a good routine, with number of phases and a surprise climax.
Take a look, he does this table hopping: http://www.penguinmagic.com/p/S19969 |

Thanks for all the input guys! That what' I love about this place, everyone has their favourites and you get to hear why etc!
I will definitely check the coin symposium one as a friend has the DVD. Also will try and track down tenKoum Carny one as I like his style. As Peckham asked, what book can it be found in! Arcade Dreams maybe? The Harbottle one also,I really like what I've seen of his. Thanks guys. |

Check out "Glass Act" on lybrary.com
It was designed to surpass any coins to glass effect out there in both astonishment and different moves for each transportation.

You can do some nice coins to glass with Nick Locapos P.O Box. It's aBoston box that looks like a bottle cap. Only 20 bucks I think

There’s a nice coins to glass routine (Coins of the Realm) in Galloway’s “Diverting Coin Magic”.
https://www.conjuringarchive.com/list/bo......t=109770 It’s a fantastic book. |

The moment you pick up a glass in a manner that looks odd, judicious eyes roll.
If you are serious about a magical looking routine - think about John Kennedy's item - and pass the first coin "to" the glass, and discover it underneath.
