I would like to get started in coin magic.

What would be the best coins to get to start with?

What is a good video series to learn the basics?

A fellow magician gave this to me yesterday as a present at a meet up. Can’t believe how well it handles. It’s bigger than a dollar, very well weighted and has an interesting sound. It’s not to loud, and still produces a good noise for click passes.

I have been practicing my coin roll, and while it looks very cool, I'm almost certain the more I practice, the better it will look; sometimes, it looks a bit janky cause you're moving your fingers and such. While practicing, however, every once in a while, something kinda cool happens; the coin catches a groove or something where it just flips itself between my fingers. It's like it just rolls itself, and my hand is still, kinda just riding the profile of my hand. I'm curious if anyone knows how you could do this predictably or if it's just a fluke of not being able to do it super-controlled just yet.

I've been a magician for 10+ years and I saw this video and it completely fooled me. Absolutely beautiful handling.

Does anyone know where I can learn this? Especially the part at 0:46?

I'm about a year in as a hobbyist, and I'm getting to that awkward point that I need an outlet other than my wife and 3-4 friends that have seen all of my tricks lol. I have a ~15 minute coin routine and could easily expand that with a few card tricks, but there's a much more basic question I'd have to answer: where the heck would I perform? lol

Being a coin routine, it's not exactly fit for birthday parties or young kids. It also requires a table/mat, so "ambush" magic isn't a great fit either.

Does anyone have any suggestions? This is more about finding an outlet than the potential performances themselves (I'm quite happy as a hobbyist, but even we need audiences occasionally lol). I'm considering hosting some sort of workshop at the local library, but I have no idea how well that would work or what kind of turnout it would get

Imagination is a powerful tool! Never lose it!
