Coins and Other Fables by Luis Piedrahita

Coins and Other Fables by Luis Piedrahita is far more than a book of coin magic. Through the lens of his masterful routines one can learn how Piedrahita approaches the construction of magic. Explained within the book is not just the technique, but also the exciting thinking behind it. Luis Piedrahita cleverly creates the most stunning effect possible by combining many methods using sleight of hand, gaffs, and psychology. Coins and Other Fables is the intersection of memorable magic, sleight of hand and inspiring creativity.
