The coin bag has been around for years, chances are you have one lurking at the bottom of a drawer somewhere. Craig first saw the coin bag about 13 years ago and having brought it he played with it for a little, then promptly forgot about it.
Fast forward several years to when Craig was booked to work at a trade show for a company that sells magic tricks to joke shops. They wanted Craig to show their customers how to demo the simple tricks they had for sale to their customers. Because of this Craig tried to develop exciting presentations for hundreds of cheap tricks. The prop that attracted Craig the most was a coin bag - after playing with it all week at the show he had developed a number of moves that made several new effects possible.
Craig has been using the coin bag now for over 6 years and it is something he uses in real world conditions all the time. Over the years he has developed over 100 effects with the coin bag and on this DVD he presents 9 of his very best routines.

This is Greg Otto's “packs very small, plays big can be done under virtually any conditions” act. An act that can be done for practically any size audience. The Torn & Restored Bill is his very funny, rapid fire, opening routine, which ends in a couple of great sight gags, that can be used in other money tricks too. His method for Card To Fly is amazing in its simplicity. The effect on an audience is unbelievably strong. Like the bill trick, there are gags in this routine that can be applied to almost any other card effects.
Greg likes to end a trick with a laugh and his Cut And Restored Rope routine does just that. You will mine a plethora of adaptable material in this easy to do triple restoration. Also on the disk are his performances and explanations for the Himber Ring, M.O.A.B, Balloon Animals (sort of) and more. The DVD concludes with Greg's no gaff Add A Number.
After the performance Greg sits down and discusses his methods and the thoughts behind them - with nothing held back! Believe Leonardo da Vinci who said, "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication!” Greg's material has that in spades! He will teach you his super easy methods, strong effects, and hilarious presentations, which are the keys for creating an unforgettable entertainment experience for your audience.
You probably know how to do the tricks, now learn to present them in a memorable way.
