How to do which tin coin routine + BONUS effect | Saturday Sorcery Menny Lindenfeld tutorial

This tutorial video from Saturday Sorcery, hosted by Beau Creer, features a detailed explanation of a unique coin routine by legendary magician Menny Lindenfeld, alongside a demonstration of a coin shooting technique by Patrick Kun. The video aims to provide magicians with new effects and techniques to add to their repertoires, with a focus on pure, deceptive magic. The video begins with a performance of Lindenfeld's “Witch Handstyle Routine,” a visually striking effect involving two (and potentially more) metal boxes and a signed coin. Lindenfeld emphasizes the importance of creating a sense of fairness and impossibility, using unmarked boxes and a seemingly random selection process. He highlights the routine’s evolution, noting that while it initially worked well with spoken misdirection, he later refined it to be performed silently, relying solely on subtle movements and presentation. Lindenfeld's explanation centers around modifying Altoid boxes to allow for easy lid removal and manipulation. He demonstrates how to bend the hinges and push in the locking mechanism, creating boxes that are both visually deceptive and easy to handle. He stresses the importance of marking the boxes subtly (filling in the lines of the “Altoids” lettering with a Sharpie) to track their positions during the routine. He also credits Ran Pink for inspiring the idea of having the spectator sign the coin, adding a layer of credibility to the effect. Patrick Kun then steps in to showcase his coin shooting technique, which he refers to as the “coin thing.” He explains that this method combines elements of the classic “pop-up” move with a thumb palm, allowing for clean and deceptive coin vanishes and transfers. Kun emphasizes the importance of using the first finger to apply a slight force, enabling the coin to shoot from the palm with minimal movement. He demonstrates how this technique can be incorporated into various routines, including a “matrix”-style effect and a trick involving a ring and a sweater sleeve. Lindenfeld stresses the need for a convincing demeanor when performing the Witch Handstyle Routine, suggesting that it requires a specific mood and personality to be truly effective. He advises magicians to maintain a consistent approach, always pushing out the same box when a coin is not found, to avoid giving away any clues. Kun highlights the importance of practice and subtle hand movements when executing the coin shooting technique, emphasizing that the key is to create a natural and deceptive action. The video is a valuable resource for magicians seeking to learn a unique and deceptive coin routine and a versatile coin shooting technique. Lindenfeld’s emphasis on fairness and Kun’s demonstration of a practical and adaptable move offer valuable insights for both experienced performers and those looking to expand their skillset. The video also promotes a sense of community, encouraging viewers to share their ideas and participate in the Saturday Sorcery Discord.
