There is just no logical explanation!
Here's a description of the routine. If you've never seen me, or anyone perform this routine yet, I must point out that when I say something like "They have four coins in their hand". They really do see 4 in their hand. I'm convinced that this is the cleanest and most impossible traveling coins routine out there. Don't take my word for it though. After you learn this routine, go out and perform it and see for yourself.
EFFECT:
Phase 1
4 half dollars are placed in a spectators open hand. The performer takes a step back and points out the fact that he can't reach the coins in their hand. They really have 4 coins.
The spectator is asked to cup their hands around the coins and shake them so everyone can hear them.
Even though the magician never comes near the spectator, he causes one of the coins to travel from the spectator's hands to his. The spectator opens their hand and they now only have 3 coins
Phase 2
The magician explains that when the first coin traveled, there was nothing between there hands to prevent the coin from traveling. So this time there will be something between them to make it more impossible.
The spectator is asked to hold their 3 coins in their open hand above the table. There hand remains open the entire time and the magician never comes near them.
The magician places his open hand containing one coin under the table. The spectator is asked to allow the coins to fall off there Open hand onto the table top and one coin will fall right through the table. They do this and when the coins leave there hand they have 3, when they hit the table there are only 2 coins. The performer brings his hand out to show that he has caught the coin that fell through the tabletop.
Phase 3
The performer explains that he's going to make it even more impossible then the first two coins. This time everything will be left out in the open. All coins will remain in their site at all times.
2 coins are left out in the open on the table and once they are placed there the magician never comes near them again.
The other 2 coins are held in the magicians open hand. One of the coins vanishes from his hand and makes a surprise appearance on the table next to the other two. There are now 3 coins on the table and one in the magician's hand.
Phase 4
The magician explains that he'll make the last coin travel backwards. He holds one coin in his hand and a spectator holds the other 3. The magician causes his coin to vanish and the spectator is now holding all 4 coins. The last coin has traveled from the magician's hand to the spectators.

Without this knowledge it's likely you'll run into the same problems I've had. So this E-book can save you a lot of that embarrassment.
The end result is a routine that's truly a reputation maker!

Testimonial
In 1992, I met Ron Jaxon at Abbott's Get-Together in Michigan. I was sitting at a table with a few people whom I had just met. Ron approached us and performed FLIP-M-OUT. I was completely devastated. The memories of those coins traveling from my hands to his, through a table, and from his hands to mine are as fresh today as the night Ron performed for me almost 14 years ago. That is how strong of an impact this routine had on me. FLIP-M-OUT is "real" magic .... pure .... direct .... interactive .... memorable. Ron Jaxon's FLIP-M-OUT not only flipped me out, it knocked me out!!!
I'm glad Ron decided to share this routine, but I wish I was the only person with which he shared it. It's that strong!!!
