3 Coin Routine Tutorial

[@PreservationEnthusiast]

It's a visual and skillfully executed routine. The problem I have with it from a spectators viewpoint is appreciating what is supposed to be happening. There is stuff going on which looks magical but what exactly that is without the crutch of a verbal guide is sometimes difficult to pin down!

[@RickHolcombe]

Good critique. Have a look at what this evolved into. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nmq8qoGPYp2Iiqcsi=2Fv7APdjKvDYx9qe

This brings me back full circle. I’m 51 and started doing magic in my teens. I loved Jay Sankey’s stuff and bought all of his material I could get my hands on. Back in the early days of KZbin, I posted a video of me performing a few of the tricks I learned from one of his videos (not a tutorial or anything - just me performing them). I gave credit to him in the description and he promptly contacted me to “take down the video of his stuff” or he would have me banned. I gave him tons of money and idolized the guy, and he made me feel like a total tool. I became discouraged and stopped doing magic altogether. But then I would see a Rick Holcomb video come up in the feed and once again, spark my interest enough to dust off the old coins and start again. You have been such an inspiration to learn and develop my skill once again. Luckily I had bought a lot of nice silver coins back in the days when they were much cheaper and easier to find. You are a master teacher and have given me my favorite hobby back. That’s such a gift man. Thanks so much!

[@RickHolcombe]

Man... that's so good to hear. Honestly, that's why I'm here; thank you so much for taking the time to write this

[@WalterOlsss]

So generous with the material and time to make these videos. Quality stuff!

[@shylohmonster]

Thanks for the continued amazing content. Your instruction and expertise is invaluable to hobbyists such as myself. Keep it up!

[@RickHolcombe]

Awesome, thank you!

Rick “slip one out silently” Holcombe.

[@RickHolcombe]

If you only knew...

[@d_e_a_n]

@@RickHolcombe This is the hardest part of this routine. Downs palm multiple coins silently, adding and removing.

[@RickHolcombe]

@@d_e_a_n maybe I'll do another video just on that alone

[@brianmendenhall8387]

@@RickHolcombe yes please! That would help this newbie understand better

[@FaithandFun-w6q]

Wonderful, love it. Thank you for sharing. 🤍

[@NickvonZ]

So happy to be getting regular presentations from you again these days! AWESOME performance, BTW!

[@RickHolcombe]

More to come!

[@NickvonZ]

@@RickHolcombe Looking forward!!

[@brianmendenhall8387]

Oh My Gosh, thank you Rick for this walk thru on Apex Coins! As one of your new followers and one newbie that is very interested in getting into coin magic, I am stoked when I saw this routine. Learning that you only use 2 coins and bluff the 3rd is genius. After watching some previous videos on the snap edge conceal exercises, those vanishes make great sense even more. The productions back of the "3" coins is perfectly orchestrated to bring it all full circle and home. What a perfect quick 3 coin trick that is easy to follow and understand. I hope I can study the techniques involved to be able to perform this one day! I just had to comment and acknowledge how wonderful this is, and thank you again for posting it with the play by play walk through. You are definitely the best coin artist teacher on KZbin and your channel is where I'll go to learn💯🤝

[@captainglasses3824]

I work with kids and your videos and knowledge has been invaluable to my learning and the experience that the kids have. Thank you very much

[@RickHolcombe]

They're learning magic? That's great!

[@ibrahim_RJS]

It's a really useful vidio. I hope you can teach US more cone tricks . I am just a beginner so I will appreciate you for any good idea .😘

[@MrAh1123581321]

Thank you as always, good sir.

[@RickHolcombe]

My pleasure

[@danmisson]

Hey Rick. Only just discovering your work and I just love it. Simple and elegant. This is such a simple but lovely routine 🙂

[@RickHolcombe]

Thanks Dan! Glad to have you here. You should check out my little routine "Over Under" which is an expansion of this idea. www.rickholcombemagic.com/product-page/overunder

[@RobertBallMagician]

Great instructional tutorial 👍😊👍😊👍

[@RickHolcombe]

Thank you 👍

[@d_e_a_n]

Watched that routine 15 times a few days ago. Well thought out. Only nervous about that third coin vanish. I wasn’t 100% sure where the second one went. Or how to do it silently.

[@RickHolcombe]

Soft coins and patience

[@d_e_a_n]

@@RickHolcombe I’ve been doing downs palm for 30 years. I’m patient. But there has to be a safer way.

[@dalebaker9109]

A really lovely piece of great magic Rick.

Thank You

Thanks man

[@ダメ絶対-d5l]

コインが消える、もしくは見えなくなる演出の時は「揉んで上に投げる」仕草なのに対して、出現の時には「空中」「袖」「空中」と一貫性を感じませんでしたが、何か理由があるのですか？ 空中から出現するのであれば、上に投げる仕草より空中に「置く」もしくは「ぶら下げる」の方が良い気がします。

[@RickHolcombe]

Can you translate?

[@ダメ絶対-d5l]

@@RickHolcombe Disappearance 1st coin → Gesture to throw up. 2nd coin → Gesture to throw up. 3rd coin → Gesture to throw up. Appearance of coin 1st piece → Pick a coin in the air. 2nd sheet → sleeve. 3rd piece → Pick a coin in the air. What do you think about the consistency of coin disappearance and reappearance?

[@RickHolcombe]

@@ダメ絶対-d5l Thank you. Yes very inconsistent. This was an idea from 5 years ago and decided to teach it. I have fixed these issues over the years and I will teach my new routine soon

[@ダメ絶対-d5l]

@@RickHolcombe thanks brother, excited to see and learn the workings this new routine!!

[@juanjosehidalgo651]

Una maravilla. Las explicaciones de los pases de monedas son muy superficiales y muy difíciles de seguir. Creo sinceramente que nos perdemos en los falsos depósitos. Que se da por hecho que lo sabemos. Un abrazo y muy agradecido.

[@RickHolcombe]

Es necesario mirar los vidéos lo que hice antes este para compreder. Te fuerzo estudiar!

[@zuhairqureshi8635]

How do you warm up your fingers for coin magic, is there something that you start with and progress or something entirely different? Would really want to know the answer to this, thank you!

[@RickHolcombe]

Check out this video I made a while back. It's a great way to warm up while also being beneficial to your actual technique. kzbin.info/www/bejne/m5a4nXmDrs6ipK8

[@2d4y40]

Hey Rick, can u do the Blink Vanish like Eric Chien?

[@RickHolcombe]

Yeah, but mines not super tight

[@MrAh1123581321]

Out of curiosity, how many different ways do you know how to click pass?

[@RickHolcombe]

About 5 I can think of. Some for 1 or 2 coins and one is for 3 or more coins

@@RickHolcombe Sir, I sincerely appreciate you answering me. This really was just a shot in the dark but you coming through is incredibly handsome. Cheers!

[@jamesfloyd5407]

Very nice sir

[@brianmendenhall8387]

Oh, I forgot to ask, is there some advice or instructions on how to 'blacken' replica Morgan dollars? I just think, like most, that they look beautiful with that vintage dark look in contrast with the silver. As they are expensive and hard to find, I will settle for cheap replicas from Amazon or eBay. Thanks for any feedback

[@RickHolcombe]

My advice is don't use replicas, you will always be wishing you had the real thing. Instead, just use Eisenhower dollars and save up the money to get real silver

[@brianmendenhall8387]

@@RickHolcombe thanks Rick, I'm just having a hard time finding Eisenhower dollars, I got lucky and found one at my bank but they are so hard to come by. Any thoughts where I can look? There is an antique shop downtown that has a coin guy, maybe I'll go see him.
