How to do coin through glass | Saturday Sorcery David Roth tutorial

This video, a tutorial presented as part of Murphy's Magic's "Saturday Sorcery" series, features Beau Creer guiding viewers through David Roth's celebrated coin through glass routine. The video begins with a performance of the effect, showcasing the visual impact before diving into a detailed explanation. Beau emphasizes the importance of using solid glasses for the effect to work convincingly. The core of the routine relies on expanded shells, a staple in coin magic. Beau clearly explains that the effect requires a coin covered by an expanded shell, which is presented alongside a regular coin. The explanation focuses on several key sleights and techniques, including the classic palm and shell handling. Beau dedicates significant time to explaining the classic palm, a fundamental skill for coin magic, detailing how to transfer the coin from a finger palm to a classic palm. The video covers the proper handling of the expanded shell, including how to prevent it from prematurely sliding over the coin and how to retain the shell while dumping the real coin into the hand. The routine heavily relies on misdirection to conceal the shell and create the illusion of the coin passing through the glass. Beau highlights that while the explanation takes time, the performance itself is remarkably quick, making it a potent visual effect. He stresses the importance of presenting the coins and glasses clearly to establish the premise. The routine is designed to be deceptive, with the coin appearing to vanish and reappear seemingly instantaneously. Beau also notes that David Roth, a master coin magician, created this effect. The video promotes Murphy's Magic, with links provided for purchasing expanded shells and the "World's Greatest Magic" download featuring Roth's routines. Beau runs a Discord server for magic enthusiasts, and a giveaway is announced for a coin magic bundle, requiring participants to comment with their favorite coin color.
